TOTESPORT BETTING

Big Fella Thanks heads the market at 15/2 with Aintree's official betting partner totesport with Black Apalachi and last year's winner Mon Mome next in the betting at 12/1.

‘The Ruby factor should ensure that Big Fella Thanks goes off favourite for this year's Grand National, but one horse that is gathering momentum in the market is The Package,' said totesport spokesman George Primarolo. ‘If Timmy Murphy chooses him over previous winner Comply Or Die, he could end up being a lot shorter on the day.'

The Package was cut to 14/1 (from 16/1) this morning by totesport, while other horses to shorten at the latest declaration stage include Ballyholland, who has been trimmed to 28/1 (from 33s).
