Eighty-one entries remain in Grand National

A total of 81 entries remain in the John Smith's Grand National, to run at Aintree on Saturday, April 14, after today's second forfeit stage, including all the leading contenders.

Irish-trained entries, aiming for a fourth win in the last five years, again dominate the ante-post betting with current favourite Dun Doire, trained by Tony Martin, one of 21 remaining horses bidding to take the prize across the Irish Sea.
