Big Fella Thanks heads National market as maximum field of 40 declared
 
Big Fella Thanks is the 15/2 favourite with totesport after the top 40 in the race were declared to run this morning. This leaves Silver Birch, Cerium, Royal Rosa and Knowhere as the four reserves in the race and they will know their fate by 9am on Friday.

Black Apalachi and Mon Mome are next in the market at 12/1 with Arbor Supreme and The Package both 14/1 shots.

‘The Grand National has long been established at the nation’s favourite race and people up and down the country will be piling into their local bookies to have a bet this weekend,’ said totesport spokesman George Primarolo. ‘Over £300million will be wagered on the big race and with housewives’ favourite Ruby Walsh on board, it’s difficult to see anything other than Big Fella Thanks going off favourite on Saturday afternoon.’
