Tricky Trickster Early Market Leader

AP McCoy is 16-1 with Paddy Power to ride the winner at this year’s John Smith’s Grand National. The legendary jockey is yet to win in 14 attempts and will be looking to land one of the few honours to elude him with a victory in 2010.

However the Venetia Williams trained Mon Mome already has something in his trophy cabinet that AP doesn’t with last year’s National victory. The 100-1 outsider in 2009 is now 25-1 this time round with Paddy Power for a back-to-back win in the world’s greatest steeplechase.

At 10-1 Tricky Trickster is the early market leader but will Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary’s War Of Attrition fly in to take the honours at 16-1 joint second favourite?
