Former winners head Grand National entries

EACH of the last three winners of the John Smith’s Grand National have been entered for the 2010 renewal on April 10.

A total of 112 entries were received, the lowest number since 2000, but they include last year’s hero Mon Mome and runner-up Comply Or Die, who won in 2008, as well as 2007 scorer Silver Birch.

The 38 strong Irish-trained entry includes Vic Venturi, Black Apalachi, Notre Pere, War Of Attrition and 10 from the Willie Mullins stable.
