Grand National Free Bets

Being from the stable that brought us Grand National winners Red Rum and more recently Amberleigh House, Cloudy Lane is understandably a warm favourite to land the 2008 renewal.

Even the owner has had success in the world's most famous steeplechase in the form of Hedgehunter in 2005 and if that wasn't enough, the horse is on a 3 race winning streak - are there any reasons not to back him? "

I gave him a quiet time after running at Doncaster and he went a bit stupid," Donald McCain Jr. revealed, before adding "I thought I'd give him a few quiet days and he was going for walks on a night with his girl," confirming that the horse enjoys success with the opposite sex that we can only dream of.

Will Cloudy Lane prove that he's streets ahead on the big day?
