Couple of good bets for the Grand National. Aidan O'Brien's favourite is Maia who won a marathon before.

ESCARIA'S 10 out of 10. She came third in the NH Chase at Cheltenham last time.

BRAHMA BULL is second in the race behind Minella Indo.

Go for it to win at Leopardstown. Not tried anything like this far before and needs to improve again.

OPP flop. Showed some promise in a small field at Wexford last time. Has a lot more on his plate today so needs more.

ESCARIA TEN won the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham last time. Coko Beach is another on the upgrade and has 7lb claimer Jordan Gainford on board.
