THE Grand National is less than two weeks away and bet365 are already ensuring that you get the best value at Aintree:

Extra Place

Have an each way bet and, if your horse comes home in fifth, bet365 will pay you out at a quarter odds - you won't get that anywhere else!

Best Odds Guaranteed

Take a price on your selection between now and the big race, and bet365 will pay you out at the (SP) starting price if it's bigger.

Non Runner No Bet

No need to worry about losing your money on a non-runner as bet365 will give you your money back if your selection doesn't run.

As for a tip, bet365 have see plenty of money for Cloudy Lane, trained by Donald McCain, whose father Ginger won the race four times (he should have learned a few tricks then!), and he is now 6/1 favourite.

Irish-trained horses have won six of the last nine renewals, which means we should give Snowy Morning (12/1), Slim Pickings (12/1) and Point Barrow (14/1) plenty of respect.

Over The Creek stays all day so is a lively outsider at 25/1.
