Seabass has been backed to win the 2012 John Smith's Grand National with punters hoping that Katie Walsh can become the first woman to ride the winner of the famous race.

Seabass may be unproven over more than three miles but that hasn't stopped punters from piling in on Ted Walsh's horse to win the Grand National on race day. 

The 9-year-old has won his last five races and trainer Ted Walsh is hopeful that Seabass will stay the marathon 4m 4f trip around Aintree.

"He's won over two miles fiveand won a few point-to-points over three miles, but he might not stay," said Walsh.

"But that might apply to a few of them in the race. There's very few of the them that gone the full trip."

Walsh, who won the 2000 Grand National with Papillon, has admitted that market leader Synchronised is the big danger to his horse, due to his staying power. 

"You know he'll stay," Walsh said.

"He's a better horse this year than ever before and was a good, game Gold Cup winner. If he jumps round and is in touch, it's all over because he'll come from the back of the last like a train."

Seabass has been backed in to 14/1 with some firms although bet365 are still offering 22/1 on Ted Walsh's runner, which will be ridden by his daughter Katie.
