Irish trained runners dominate Grand National betting
Irish-trained runners dominate the Grand National betting following the unveiling of the Aintree weights today, with Dun Doire and last year's winner Numbersixvalverde the 12-1 joint favourites at Coral. Far From Trouble, 2005 hero Hedgehunter and Point Barrow are all 14-1 with Coral, ahead of Nil Desperandum at 16-1. Clan Royal and Eurotek are among the shortest priced British-trained contenders at 20-1. Coral also offer 12-1 that Irish runners fill the first three places in the big race, one better than last year when only Clan Royal prevented a 'Greenwash'. "Twelve months ago we offered 50-1 about an Irish 1-2-3, and having seen it backed in to 10-1 by race time, we were saved a six-figure payout thanks to AP McCoy's determination on Clan Royal," said Coral's David Stevens. "The Irish look to have an even stronger hand this time around, and 12-1 reflects their current domination of the world's greatest race," added Stevens. **Irish-trained runners to finish 1-2-3 in the Grand National 12-1 **John Smith's Grand National12-1 Dun Doire, Numbersixvalverde, 14-1 Far From Trouble, Hedgehunter, Point Barrow, 16-1 Nil Desperandum. 20-1 Clan Royal, Eurotrek, L'Ami, Ladalko, 25-1 A New Story, Exotic Dancer, Forget The Past, Homer Wells, Kelami, Liberthine, Preacher Boy, State Of Play, Turpin Green, 33-1 Bewleys Berry, Bothar Na, Cornish Rebel, Idle Talk, Jack High, Kandjar D'Allier, Lacdoudal, Longshanks, McKelvey, Monkerhostin, Naunton Brook, Our Ben, Simon, Southern Vic, The Outlier, 40-1 Billyvoddan, Bold Bishop, Church Island, Dunbrody Millar, GVA Ireland, Gallant Approach, Garvivonnian, Graphic Approach, Innox, Joes Edge, Knowhere, Kymandjen, Le Duc, Livingstonebramble, Lord Of Illusion, Louping D'Ainay, Ossmoses, Sir Rembrandt, Thisthatandtother, Tikram, Ursumman, 50-1 Ballycassidy, Celtic Son, Dix Villez, Dublin Hunter, Inca Trail, Joueur D'Estruval, Kerryhead Windfarm, Kerstino Two, Lou Du Moulin Mas, Nitrat, Parsons Legacy, Philson Run, Ross Comm, Royal Auclair, Take The Stand, Zabenz, 66-1 Cloudy Bays, Fota Island, Hakim, Just In Debt, Kilbeggan Blade, Latimer's Place, Ned Kelly, Puntal, Slim Pickings, 80-1 Armaturk, Coljon, Ground Ball, Iris Bleu, Iris Royal, Iron Man, Ivoire De Beaulieu, Korelo, Little Brick, Nirvana Du Bourg, Ollie Magern, Patricksnineteenth, Risk Accessor, Silver Birch, The Parishioner, Without A Doubt, 100-1 Abbeytown, Bang And Blame, Cowboyboots, Crozan, Exit Swinger, Fair Prospect, Mark The Man, Model Son, Ransboro, Ride The Storm, Sonevafushi, 125-1 Shannon's Pride, 150-1 Dauphin Des Carres, Marble Garden, Maurice, Solarius, Sybellius D'Artaix, The Bandit, Theatre Knight, Undeniable, 200-1 Iris De Balme, 250-1 Espoir Du Bocage, Heros Collonges
