Ruby Walsh in Grand National headache: Tricky Trickster or Big Fella Thanks

Two horses at 10/1 for the Grand National, and Ruby Walsh could be riding either one of them. That's the tempting choice for one of the world's leading jockeys - and he also has Snowy Morning to consider as well.

The Paul Nicholls contenders Tricky Trickster and Big Fella Thanks are the ones to look out for, and the latter has been on top form. Having come in 6th last year, he's got the Aintree experience behind him which counts for everything on the day.

The likelihood is that Walsh will go for the latter: he's within the weights renowned for winning Nationals, and the form is well and truly stacked up behind him. He's as low as 8/1 with some bookmakers, while some are actually going as high as 12/1 if you look around.

20/1 shot Snowy Morning is his other choice, for Willie Mullins - and it's Mullins' Grand National record that is grabbing Walsh's eye in this case. Come back for more from FreeBetBookmaker over Cheltenham and Aintree...
