Point Barrow worth a punt
I'm not normally a gambling man but ever since I was a boy I've enjoyed sticking a few bob on the Grand National.Alas it's been absolutely ages since I've correctly predicted the winner but I'm hopeful my fortunes will change this year! The race begins at 4:15 pm.
United Irelander's tip? Point Barrow.
I think Irish eyes will be smiling once more at Aintree and my money's on the Pat Hughes-trained Point Barrow to steal the show along with jockey Philip Carberry.
It's a 10-1 shot and I'd advise putting a few euros/pounds on it.
Update: My bloody horse fell at the second!
The winner was an Irish horse though, Silver Birch, a 33-1 shot. Anyone shrewd enough to put a few quid on that will be very pleased today.
