Irish trainers are being backed to dominate this weekend's Grand National, with the bookies making it odds-on that the winning horse will be one trained in Ireland.
Ladbrokes has opened betting on where the winner of the race will be trained, making Ireland the red-hot favourite at 2/7, ahead of England at 5/1, while a Scottish-trained winner is 11/2, with a Welsh winner 12/1.
Irish trainers have won five of the last six renewals of the world's most famous steeplechase, with the Scottish-trained One For Arthur winning the other of those, meaning it's 2015 since a horse trained in England last won the race, with Many Clouds securing victory for Oliver Sherwood on that occasion.
