2010 Grand National Tips: Nicholls Can Break His Duck

Champion trainer, Paul Nicholls will not have a better chance to land a first Aintree Grand National than he has this year. Leading his team is the race favourite, Big Fella Thanks, who most plaudits feel is the best handicapped horse in the race and is certainly one who is being very well backed. His odds are currently around to 10/1 mark with Bet365 but it has to be said that he is being challenged for favouritism by the David Pipe trained and David Johnson owned, The Package who is into 14/1 from 20s. This partnership of course was successful two years ago with Comply Or Die, who also takes his chance in the race.

Big Fella Thanks will be ridden by two time Grand National jockey, Ruby Walsh, who had the pick of all four of the Nicholls entries, but chose the Big Fella, because he is on an excellent mark, in great form at home, proven over course and distance after finishing 6th last year as a novice and has been laid out for this race all season.

Biggest dangers to our selection come possibly from his stablemate, Tricky Trickster, who once headed the market for the race until running below par in the Cheltenham Gold Cup, but it should not be forgotten that he ran a brilliant race at Newbury when coming from way back to beat Niche Market to the post in the Aon Chase in February. Tricky Trickster can be backed currently at 18/1 with Bet365

For each way punters there is a number of options but if making a bet then make it with a Bookmaker who is offering each way odds on the first five home which include Bet365. We think the Evan Williams runner, State of Play can fill one of those first five berths. He was fourth last year, jumped the fences for fun and has progressed since then and comes to the race in great form at home; he is currently 16/1.
