All 40 horses stay on in Grand National entry

The top 40 in the handicap from the confirmation stage on Monday - with the exception of the already scratched War Of Attrition - all stood their ground for the Aintree Grand National at the final declaration stage, meaning Zabenz takes his place at the foot of the weights on 10st 5lb.

Cloudy Lane has the burden of top-weight under 11st 10lb as he bids to give the McCain family another National success, while last year’s winner Comply Or Die shoulders 11st 6lb for David Pipe and David Johnson.
