The joint top rated - Aran Concerto and Siegemaster head a list of 51 horses who stood their ground at the latest confirmation stage for the 2010 Powers Whiskey Irish Grand National.

The big story following the publication of the latest entries was the defection of several of the well fancied entries - including Becauseicouldntsee, Notre Pere, Synchronised, The Midnight Club, and The Tother One.

William Hill reacted to these withdrawals by cutting the big race favourite - Saddlers Storm from 7-1 to 6-1 for next Monday’s race.

Alpha Ridge and Hangover have both attracted strong support for the race. The former has halved in price from 20-1 to 10-1, while the latter has been cut from 20-1 to 14-1 for Fairyhouse showpiece.

William Hill’s Irish spokesman Tony Kenny said “Alpha Ridge has been the real steamer in the market. He was available at 20-1 on Monday, but the weight of money for Paul Nolan’s charge has forced us to halve his price for the Irish National.”
