UK Horse Racing Tips

The 2016 Grand National is almost here and I’m sure you’re chomping at the bit in anticipation as much as I am. It’s hard to argue though, that there’s often a lottery aspect to the National. With such a large field and a gruelling course to traverse, no matter your racing knowledge, there’s a ‘shot in the dark’ aspect to the race. With that in mind here’s five tips / recommendations for the 2016 Grand National. No matter what you go for best of luck!

1) Many Clouds – A somewhat obvious choice considering it was last year’s winner and has continued to impress since. It’s not carrying much more weight and at 7-1 it could be said to be the one to beat. How many times do we see a favourite falter at the Grand National though? More often than not!

2) Silviniaco Conti – Trained by Paul Nicholls and currently available at 12-1 Silviniaco Conti has won seven group one races (as well as two King George VI Chases) so is really up to the task if he clears the hurdles. It wouldn’t be the biggest surprise in the world to see it go close or even win.

3) Onenightinvienna – I couldn’t complete the list without a big priced shot in the dark (50-1). It’s not uncommon for a horse with big or even huge odds to win the Grand Nation so here is our outsider of choice. Onenightinvienna jumps well (which doesnt hurt in the national!) and if the ground is on the soft side he might pull out one of his better performances, so it’s worth an each way shot at least.

Should you specifically be looking to bet on outsiders in the grand national in the hope of winning big, you could do worse than seeing what the Outsider blog has to say on the matter!
