Who are the stars and the experts tipping?

Rock The Kasbah Alice Plunkett ITV presenter

I’m a big fan of Richard Johnson, so I’d go for Rock The Kasbah on his 21st attempt.

Joe Farrell Lee Westwood Golfer

I do like a low weight in the Grand National and right down at the bottom, Joe Farrell, carrying 10st 2lb, takes my eye.

Tiger Roll Kelly Sotherton Olympic heptathlete

Tiger Roll was the name thrown about at Cheltenham. I usually just go for No 4 and No 30.

Anibale Fly Charlie Brooks Telegraph columnist

You need luck with 40 runners, but he is the outstanding horse. He has class, good form and a good record around the course.

Tiger Roll Bryony Frost Jockey

I’d love to ride Tiger Roll. He seems to love the fences and has a great chance. I’d also love to see Warriors Tale run well.

Red Infantry Jamie Carragher Former footballer

I’m no expert on the horses, but with a name like that, I don’t have much choice but to back it!

Anibale Fly Nina Carberry Former jockey

Gold Cup form always seems to stand up well in the Grand National, so Anibale Fly must have a cracking chance.

Tiger Roll Mary King Olympic eventer

I haven’t a clue but my husband is backing Tiger Roll because he won the big crosscountry race at Cheltenham with ease.

Tiger Roll Katie Walsh Former jockey

Tiger Roll is clearly the one to beat on recent form and he looks even better than he was last year.

Tiger Roll Kevin Kilbane Former footballer

Tiger Roll is the safe and easy one. Plus, every year I have a few quid on my birthday or my kids’ birthdays: one, 15 and 23.

Will race prominently enough early doors. Good jumper and skipped Cheltenham with this race in mind. Plus, Ruby Walsh!

Vieux Lion Rouge Sir Ian Mcgeechan Former rugby coach

I know nothing about horses but this one’s name translates to Old Red Lion, which I think sums me up rather well.
