2010 is here and with it comes a brand new Grand National and with it a new batch of horses to keep our eyes on, as well as some old faithfuls who just might still be capable of causing a major upset on Saturday April 10th at Aintree!

The steeple chase season is fast and furious and on any given Saturday a Grand National contender can really make an impact and have the bookies in a tizz as the rush to slash odds which is basically what’s happened over the Christmas and New Year.

Despite the massive weather disruptions and the cancellation of some of the more popular meetings, Paddy Power has obviously gotten it’s hands on the inside track because the odds have been changing since my last update back in December so without further ado here are your new ante-post odds for the 2010 Grand National….

A Standard Example Of Ante Post Rules: All racing ante-post bets are accepted and settled on a Rules of Racing basis only. Ante-post bets are accepted at quoted prices, up to and including the day prior to the event, on the basis of all in, run or not, entered or not . Therefore selections not taking part in the race/event concerned are losers. Ante-post bets are those placed at our quoted prices on horses and prior to the race becoming classed as ‘Day of Event’ (Day of event is a term used to describe the time at which overnight declarations are made, usually 10am on the day preceding the race (or two days for certain Group 1 races) for horse racing and the day of the race for greyhounds). All bets placed after the overnight declaration stage are settled in accordance with our Early Prices/Day of Race Rules.
