Following today’s latest forfeit stage for the Grand National (on 4 April) Betfair Chase winner Snoopy Loopy heads the 88 runners left in the race on 11st 10lb with Nozic, one of five possible starters for Paul Nicholls, next best on 11st 8lb.

With some at the top of the handicap having been taken out means the weights have risen 5lbs. Following the raising of the weights, favourite My Will is pegged on 11st 1lb, Butler’s Cabin has 10st 10lb and last year’s hero Comply Or Die is on 11st 3lb.

Among the other 17 scratchings are Cheltenham winner Imperial Commander, Garde Champetre, Exotic Dancer, Notre Pere and Madison Du Berlais.

Remember that as a punter it always pays to follow those horses that love a stamina test, and preferably ones rated between 136 and 144, who are set to carry less than 11st. Horses that fit the bill are Rambling Minster, Southern Vic and Kilbeggan Blade, available at 14/1, 18/1 and 28/1 respectively on BetUK.
