It's getting to that time of year when we take a view on a few big meetings. The Grand National has 126 declarations at this time but it's a race we always take an interest and Karl ''The National Man'' Wales is a tipster who knows this race better than most. He has been looking for a few ante-post positions so I would advise readers to take note.

4:15 Aintree (Saturday, 11th April). Horse racing fans across the world anticipate the greatest National Hunt Steeplechase: The Crabbie's Grand National 2015. Run over 4 miles 3 1/2 furlongs, 30 jumps, two circuits, the ultimate test of equine and jockey. Last year Pineau De Re won for trainer Dr Richard Newland at odds of 25/1, ridden by Leighton Aspell. Gallant. Bold. Magnificent.The National is a story to be told... Karl ''The National Man'' Wales is our expert who annually plunders the bookmakers' satchels. He says: ''Although I fully expect Balthazar King & Rocky Creek to run huge races this year, in my opinion, they don't feature value at odds of 10/1. However, I'm confident four horses will give you a run for your money. Across The Bay will give a bold show for the first circuit. At odds of 50/1 he looks a good back to lay bet. Donald McCain's eleven year old ran a cracking race last year before being carried wide by

The Grand National at Aintree in April remains the highlight of the steeplechasing year and one of the most anticipated events of the whole sporting calendar. Currently, bookmakers are offering 20-1 the field in their ante-post betting lists. Shutthefrontdoor The early favourite is last year’s Irish Grand National winner Shutthefrontdoor, owned by JP McManus and trained by Jonjo O’Neill. They enjoyed Aintree triumph with Don’t Push It in 2010 but suffered heartache in 2012 when the Cheltenham Gold Cup winner lost his life in a freak accident whilst attempting the big-race double. Shutthefrontdoor had always promised to be a useful stayer and finished a close sixth in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham over four miles. He confirmed the promise of that run when winning at Fairyhouse and began his 2014-15 campaign with a comfortable victory at Carlisle. O’Neill also has Merry King prominent in the ante-post lists after a fine run in the Hennessy Go

Ok, yes, it is very early days. The National Hunt season has not even got into full swing yet, but this is the time of year to find the best value on the most valuable steeplechase in the world. Here we will look at some of the main contenders for the big race at Aintree next April to try and point readers in the right direction for an ante-post wager. Early favourite According to Betfair, the early favourite for the 4 miles 3 ½ furlongs contest, run over 30 fences is Shutthefrontdoor, trained by Jonjo O’Neill. The seven-year old (who will be eight on the day of the race) shot to the head of the ante-post market with a decisive win in the Irish Grand National back in April. Owned by JP McManus – who has already tasted victory in the race with Don’t Push It back in 2010, the son of Accordion could be a lively contender. An indication to the merits of Shutthefrontdoor may well lie with Holywell – who beat its stable mate by 3 ¼ lengths at

A glance at the ante-post market for the 2015 Crabbies Grand National at Aintree, a race worth total prize money of £1 million, shows that last year’s hero Pineau de Re and Shutthefrontdoor, impressive winner of the Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse, are amongst a number of horses vying for favouritism at around 26.0 with most firms in the Grand National betting, writes Elliot Slater. There’s a long way to go before the 40 runners will face the starter for “the world’s greatest steeplechase” at Aintree racecourse in the spring, but already connections of the two respective Grand National heroes of last year are laying out their plans for the campaign ahead. Pineau de Re, trained by Dr Richard Newland, proved a revelation last term and far exceeded even the wildest expectations of his new owner, Mr Provan, who purchased the veteran privately from his previous patrons who had raced the horse over a number of seasons in Ireland under the guidan

The National Hunt calendar waved goodbye to the Cheltenham Festival but anticipates the most famous of all horse races -Crabbie's Grand National Chase. On the 5th April, Aintree, Liverpool pays homage to the greatest steeplechase of them all. This Class 1 handicap raced over 4m 3f 110y is open to horses aged seven years and older with a rating of 120 or more by the British Horseracing Authority and placed in a recognised chase over 3 miles or more. It is the most valuable jumps race in Europe with a win prize fund of almost one million pounds. William Lynn founded this race after setting out a course, building a grandstand, and Lord Sefton laid the foundation stone on 7th February 1829. The Grand National may have been raced for the first time in 1836 although this is a point of contention. Three races had been ignored in the belief they were held at Maghall and not Aintree. However, leading historians, including John Pinfold, have unearthed evidence
