Official press release:
Trio top National weightsAlbertas Run, Madison Du Berlais and Notre Pere head the weights on 11st 10lb for the John Smith’s Grand National at Aintree on April 10.
The handicapper has not been able to split the trio, who are trained by Jonjo O’Neill, David Pipe and Jim Dreaper respectively. Paul Nicholls’ Argento Chase winner Taranis is next in the list on 11st 9lb, while Pipe’s Our Vic would carry 11st 8lb if he lines up in the four-and-a-half-mile spectacular.
Last year’s shock 100-1 winner Mon Mome has been handed 11st 7lb, compared to the 11st he shouldered in 2009, with Dessie Hughes’ pair of Black Apalachi and Vic Venturi on 11st 6lb along with the Colin Tizzard-trained Joe Lively.
Nicholls’ ante-post favourite Tricky Trickster just pipped Bob Buckler’s Niche Market to victory in last week’s Aon Chase and both have been allotted 11st 4lb at Aintree, the same weight as Tom Mullins’ Made In Taipan.
Other previous winners entered include Pipe’s 2008 victor Comply Or Die (11st 5lb) and Gordon Elliott’s 2007 hero Silver Birch on 10st 5lb. Mouse Morris’s War Of Attrition had undergone something of a renaissance this year and he has been given 11st 1lb, while Welsh National winner Dream Alliance has 11st 3lb.
Others with 11st or more include Don’t Push It (11st 5lb), Irish Invader (11st 5lb), Casey Jones (11st 3lb), Cloudy Lane (11st 3lb), Nozic (11st 3lb), Possol (11st 3lb), Siegemaster (11st 3lb), My Will (11st 2lb), Pablo Du Charmil (11st 2lb), One Cool Cookie (11st 1lb), Backstage (11st) and Ballyholland (11st).
Welsh National third Le Beau Bai has been given 10st 13lb, 1lb more than leading hope Big Fella Thanks and 2lb more than John Quinn’s Character Building.
Last year’s fourth State Of Play has 10st 11lb while 2008 National runner-up King Johns Castle (10st 9lb), last year’s Scottish National first and second, Hello Bud (10st 6lb) and Gone To Lunch (10st 11lb), and 2008 Ayr victor Iris De Balme (10st 6lb) are further noteworthy contenders.
Jimmy Mangan enjoyed National success with Monty’s Pass in 2003 and he could field Conna Castle (10st 9lb) and Whinstone Boy (10st 4lb) this time. Francois Cottin’s French challenger Louping D’Ainay shoulders 10st 12lb and he is the 40th runner in the field, which means any horses below that mark are not yet guaranteed a run
i still fancy niche market
niche market alongside tricky trickster have been handed 11st 4lbAlbertas Run, Madison Du Berlais and Notre Pere top the National weights on 11st 10lb, while last year’s winner Mon Mome is allotted 11st 7lb, a 7lb rise on what he carried to victory.
Comply Or Die, successful in the race in 2008, is on 11st 5lb and 2006 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner War Of Attrition, who has been successful over hurdles recently, was handed 11st 1lb

i seem to have state of play every time he runs in the national, come the day i’ll prob have him again too lol

A quick look through the weights would suggest that WHINSTONE BOY 10st4 looks to very leniently treated.
SIZING AUSTRALIA has looked like a National horse to me but 10st3 is more than weight I’d expected
other than that only WAR OF ATTRITION jumps out as being let in with a good weight, the opposite could possibly be said about Deutschland
…..Not that I’m likely to have anymore than a token ten bob each way on the day!!!
WOA does not run according to trainer…not happy with weight.
Jesus what were they hoping for? As far as i go; 11, 1 is very fair for a former Gold Cup winner.
my thoughts entirely before i read, that the trainer wasn’t happy i thought, it was a good weight for a former gold cup winner

Sound more than fair to me but L’Escargo ran off 11.3 as a 12-Y-O when winning his GN and Red Rum was amongst the entries that year which brought the others down a tad on park course ratings
He surely couldn’t have expected any less
