2021 Grand National Betting Update PT 1

We are just a few days away from the kick-off of the 2021 Grand National at Aintree and we can all admit that having the race run in a non-virtual format this year is definitely cause for celebration. There is plenty to like about the way that the race is shaping up and you can bank on some excellent betting opportunities to arise prior to the start of the big Grade 3 contest.

Cloth Cap comes into the race as the betting choice amongst a rather deep field of runners. While we all know that winning the National can often come down to luck, there is definitely a feeling that this horse has the proven ability to get the job done here.

Cloth Cap can be backed at a best price of around 5/1 right now with several top bookmakers. 

Minella Times ranks amongst the few other horses who have a single digit price to capture the National and you’ll find him priced around a 9/1 margin with a few outfits going as high as 10/1 on him. He looks like he could be bang in there but might need the race to go his way. 

Certainly the Rachel Blackmore factor will be at play here and you can expect her to take some serious money on this horse during the build-up to the race itself when there will doubtlessly be some television hype surrounding her recent run of racing success. 

Burrows Saint is another with a tricky price range with some books going 17/2 while others have him trading as high as a 10/1 margin. It will be interesting to see how his odds swing around during the build-up to the race. Particularly if he makes a really nice pre-race appearance.
