Copyright Le Nige Well my Uncle, cursed by the national for so many years with his steady 3 horse pick...
Until he got the winner in 2010, then 2011 + 2 places (from 3 horses) but dropped off a little and only got a place in 2012, and a another place in 2013 covering the bet for the last 2 years.
His picks are,
Colbert Station again, 25/1 saw it run recently in Ire and backing it again as his main bet.
His 2 backups (smaller bets)
Tidal Bay 16/1
Monbeg Dude 25/1
Looks like this year betvictor have jacked in the 6 places instead of 5 betvictor offering 6 places as of 9am this morning (Note Monday after Cheltenham for next year!) Make sure you get a no run no bet (ie money back if your horse doesn't even run)

My uncles tips are in with the usual caveats, don't bet more than you can afford to lose. The national is quite literally a lottery with so many horses running.
