The big field, the fences and the stamina sapping distance makes it somewhat of a lottery, having said that there are one or two horse racing tips that are well worth following no matter how serious a punter you are.
Latest Grand National 2014 Win Odds
History tells us that there are a few stats that should be taken note of before making a bet, these in general are good markers to follow for the Aintree race and the same can be said of the 2014 race. There are always exceptions to these rules but more often than not the winner of the National will fall in the boundaries of these pointers, horses that fall out of these pointers can be dismissed to leave punters with a select band of potential winners based on these stats in the Grand National Trends.
It is also worth checking out those Jockeys and Trainers that have a good record in the race, some of the top yards have a knack of getting their horses ready for the National and they should be taken note of. Nigel Twiston-Davies is one that has won the race twice in recent history and he is most definitely a Grand National Trainer to follow in 2014.
