Irish runners dominate the betting for the Grand National, which takes place at Aintree on Saturday.
A full field of 40 is set to go to post for the world's most famous steeplechase, for which Rachael Blackmore's mount Ain't That A Shame was backed into favourite on Friday.
Willie Mullins and Paul Townend are aiming to make it a Grand National double after I Am Maximus' victory in the Irish equivalent last Monday and team up here with Cheltenham Festival winner Gaillard Du Mesnil.
Noble Yeats won the race for Mullins' nephew Emmet 12 months ago and runs in the 4m2½f once again, while the runner-up and third from last year in Delta Work and Any Second Now respectively also take their chance again.
Meanwhile, The Big Dog is fancied to run a big race for Kildare trainer Peter Fahey, with Aidan Coleman on board.
