2012 Grand National Odds and Weights Revealed
- By A.J. Ryder on February 14, 2012 17:09 GMT
We're setting up for another fascinating iteration of the Grand National and a record £975,000 is up for grabs this year as Junior has seen himself edge out into the slight favourite's position as punters begin capitalizing on a relatively generous weight assignment.

Junior can be backed with most major bookmakers at a 12/1 margin.
Phil Smith, the BHA's head of handicapping, has declared that this year's National promises to be one of the best ever. A full 69 of the 82 entries are in the handicap and 70 are rated above 135 whereas 2004 saw only 55.
All eyes are on Ballabriggs, last year's winner who came home carrying 11st. He's second in the weights this year at 11st 9lb and is competing for the second favourite's position in the ante post market where he hovers around 14/1.
Totesport's Free Bet Bonus is a generous one to cash in early if you're looking to take advantage of some of these higher-odds listings that are almost certain to drop as we get closer to festival time and Aintree, specifically.
It may be worth keeping your eye on Mon Mome, who is also set to run in this one, and he's back to below his winning weight of 11st after coming in a well-beaten 26 in 2010. He'll be racing at 10st 8lb for this year's National
