Free Grand National tips: five horses to back in Saturday's big race at Aintree

Ace tipster

Kimberlite Candy(5.15 Aintree)

Ran an eyecatching trial for this race when second in the Becher Chase over the Grand National fences in December and has been trained with this race in mind since. He goes well fresh and the ground doesn't look as quick as forecast.
Graeme Rodway

Eyecatcher

Takingrisks (5.15 Aintree)

Cloth Cap has very strong claims but he's priced accordingly and is passed over in favour of Takingrisks. He is a strong stayer who won't mind the ground and looks better than ever at the age of 12.
Richard Young

Speed figures

(5.15 Aintree)

Finished a creditable third at Cheltenham, has never fallen and if this marathon trip does not prove her undoing then she could be a lively outsider.
Dave Edwards

Dark horse

Discorama(5.15 Aintree)

Thorough stayer who failed to settle when favourite last time out and has subsequently had his wind tweaked. He is at his best when fresh (form figures of 211F232 after at least a 50-day break) and he looks primed to run a big race.

Cloth Cap (5.15 Aintree)

Has been a revelation since being fitted with cheekpieces, making all to win impressively at both Newbury and Kelso. He rates the clear pick of the weights.
