Formscan - Mr Incredible was still right in contention in last year's Grand National when unseating his rider after the saddle slipped at the Canal Turn. Reported to be working nicely at the weights launch for this year's renewal, this would still require a big effort on his seasonal return with conditions likely to be very testing. My Silver Lining landed the Classic Chase at Warwick before finishing second in Haydock's Grand National Trial when ahead of Iron Bridge (third) and the pair are likely to be very competitive once again. The vote, though, goes to AUTONOMOUS CLOUD, who remains an unexposed quantity and is 2-3 at this track. He has ground conditions to suit and the first-time tongue-tie could help following his no-show in the Welsh equivalent.
