The Ferdy Murphy-trained Joes Edge looks set to start as joint favourite alongside Point Barrow for Saturday's Grand National at Aintree.
Joes Edge, the 2005 Scottish National winner, won at 50-1 at Cheltenham and carries the second-lightest weight of the 40 runners for the big race.
Point Barrow is strongly favoured of the Irish-trained horses, which have won five of the last eight Nationals.
Former winners Numbersixvalverde and Hedgehunter are also well backed.
Philip Carberry will be on board Point Barrow, with his brother Paul riding another fancied Irish horse, Dun Doire.
The home contingent is led by the likes of Eurotrek for champion trainer Paul Nicholls, Longshanks and Liberthine.
I've just seen Dun Doire out on the course and he looks an absolute picture
