No mention of Silver Birch's being 10lbs or whatever well in on the day in the race report. Also, the writer of the post race report the time before in the X-Country won't be too chuffed with himself for writing:Silver Birch is eyeing the Grand National in which he has 10st 6lb, and he certainly jumped nimbly here and showed his stamina, rallying after being short of room in the final bend squeeze between the first three.The 2006 Welsh National winner is 6lb higher in the ratings than when slogging home at Chepstow and therein lies his chances as he is basically a slowboat and would need similar and unlikely underfoot conditions at Aintree. Even the 40-1 pre-race offer from Totesport made no appeal so the 25-1 now should be shunned.
