Irish Grand National - 13/4/09

[fintron]

Has anyone had a bash at this yet? Less than a week away. Current odds:

Wichita Lineman (9) , Emma Jane (10) , Royal County Star (10) , Arbor Supreme (12) , Notre Pere (12) , Character Building (14) , Butlers Cabin (16) , Casey Jones (16) , Dear Villez (16) , Drumconvis (16) , Garde Champetre (16) , Patsy Hall (16) , Pomme Tiepy (16) , Rare Bob (16) , Offshore Account (20) , One Cool Cookie (20) , According To John (25) , Air Force One (25) , Chelsea Harbour (25) , Dont Push It (25) - Others 25 or more

Is anyone going to use trends for this or have you given up after the Eng National ones were blown out of the water. I'm going to have a look at them but not stick to them to the letter as was the case at Aintree.
