Roberto Goldback - trained by Nicky Henderson specifically for the National.   Henderson has never won it and there should be a first time and also decent odds.  The N shilling is on at 33-1.

All sounds promising and I backed the winner last year, but...prior to that my record was poor, buttock clenchingly piss poor.

Thanks Steve, Henderson had a good Cheltenham so that will be my EW bet.

Sunnyhillboy will be my tip.
2nd last year, caught on the line.
The course is 90m shorter this year, he'd have won had it been 90m shorter last year :-)

If only it had been Nineteenth minute instead of Ninetieth minute
