The Grand National is almost here - and while chance and fortune favours the brave, history never lies.
The idea of finding the winner of the 40-strong field in the Grand National can be daunting. However, with so much information at your disposal, there has never been a better time to be a horse racing punter.
The first Grand National took place way back in 1939 and was won by a horse named Lottery, which is an appropriate name given the unpredictable nature of the iconic event. Over the years, several positive and negative trends have emerged - and fans can apply these to pick their favourites from the field.
