Top tips: Grand National 2007 - review of tipster selections

Here is a round-up of predictions for the John Smith's Grand National at Aintree on Saturday (1615 BST). Clare Balding BBC TV presenter1 Liberthine 2 Numbersixvalverde 3 Point Barrow 4 Bothar NaThe rumours were that mare Liberthine was in foal (pregnant) and her hormones would be raging (in a positive way), but late on Thursday it was revealed that she actually isn't. Despite this I still fancy her as jockey Sam Waley-Cohen has a great record over the National fences, even if he has never ridden in the big race itself before, and his mount has proved she likes jumping them. Ian Bartlett BBC commentator1 Joes Edge 2 Royal Auclair 3 Monkerhostin 4 Bothar NaThis year, we will need horses who have shown form on good or faster ground. Joes Edge, already a Scottish National winner, is peaking just at the right time with a Cheltenham win last time out. Victor Chandler Bookmaker1 Monkerhostin 2 Silver Birch 3 L'Ami 4 Royal AuclairThe National isn't the lottery it used to be. You need a horse with a touch of class, like Monkerhostin. The marathon trip is a slight worry but the good weather should mean his stamina isn't tested too much. Honest Frank BBC Sport website1 Longshanks 2 Jack High 3 Liberthine 4 Dun Doire Trainer Kim Bailey has been trying for three years to get Longshanks in the National. He's in now, and has a good man on board in Tony Dobbin. Jack High and Liberthine should go well. Ad: Bet365 have a free 250 pound bet you can claim now! Brian Gleeson RTE/BBC Irish racing pundit1 Point Barrow 2 Graphic Approach 3 Numbersixvalverde 4 BillyvoddanThe very astute trainer of Point Barrow knows what it takes to win a big handicap, and horse has ideal profile. Graphic Approach is a lively outsider. Luke Harvey BBC Five Live reporter1 Idle Talk 2 Hedgehunter 3 L'Ami 4 Royal AuclairThere's a bit of class about Idle Talk, who's normally a safe jumper and one of the few that will go on the fast ground. Angus Loughran BBC betting expert1 Point Barrow 2 Billyvoddan 3 Hedgehunter 4 Bothar NaIt's interesting that the trainer of Point Barrow complained about the weight his horse was given by handicapper Phil Smith - a sure sign he is fancied to run well.

Cornelius Lysaght BBC Five Live correspondent1 Eurotrek 2 Numbersixvalverde 3 Hedgehunter 4 SimonWith a smooth win (conceding weight) over several National rivals, in the Becher Chase, Eurotek has form to rival anyone. Champion trainer Paul Nicholls' run of bad luck and near-misses in the race must end soon. Tony O'Hehir Racing Post Irish correspondent/BBC commentator1 Point Barrow 2 Joes Edge 3 Hedgehunter 4 Bothar NaHe jumps well, stays the distance and has been aimed at this all season. Point Barrow also boasts a very shrewd trainer. David Williams Bookmaker, Ladbrokes1 Numbersixvalverde 2 Billyvoddan 3 Simon 4 Slim Pickings Last year's winner Numbersixvalverde has been well treated by the handicapper, won with plenty in hand a year ago and can account for a weaker field.
