Solutions

1:B - A thoroughbred born in France in 2016 and trained by Willie Mullins. Good chance. , 2:D - Born in Ireland in 2014, the going won't suit this Gordon Elliott-trained outsider. , 3:B - Won the Mares’ Chase at the Cheltenham Festival and could go well at Aintree., 4:A - Won the Grand National in 2022 but not fancied to repeat the feat this time around. , 5:D - Finished third in the Grand National two years ago. Loves a kiss from owner Michael O'Leary. , 6:A - The Joe Tizzard-trained 10-year-old hasn't been given much of a chance., 7:B - A safe bet to finish given his pedigree in running point to point races but, at 11 years old, his better days may be behind him., 8:B - The 10-year-old faces a tough task as he is heavier than he was when winning over cross country faces at Cheltenham last November though trainer Mouse Morris did win the National with Rule The World in 2016., 9:A - The Gordon Elliott-trained nine-year-old is a decent outside bet., 10:B - A two-time winner over the Grand National fences having won the Grand Sefton three years ago and the Topham Chase two years ago but the big race is probably too long for him to have a serious chance of success.
