The weights for the Grand National are framed in early February, so it's well worth looking out for horses that are potentially 'well in'. In other words, those that have shown improved form subsequently and would otherwise be higher in the handicap...
Lord Gyllene and Rough Quest are just two examples of horses that exploited a lenient handicap mark to win the Grand National, so these are always types that could buck the trends.
This year look out for the following:
Vic Venturi - 1st in the Bobbyjo Chase (would be raised by 8lb)
Black Apalachi - 2nd in the Bobbyjo Chase (would be raised by 5lb)
Big Fella Thanks - 1st in the Greatwood Gold Cup at Newbury (would be raised by 5lb)
Arbor Supreme - 2nd in a Handicap Chase at Leopardstown (would be raised by 5lb)
Eric's Charm - 1st in a Veteran's Handicap Chase at Newbury (would be raised by 6lb)
The Package - 2nd in the William Hill Trophy at the Cheltenham Festival (would be raised by 6lb)
