The Grand National is the only event in the sporting calendar that I will have a flutter on at the local bookies.
And with retiring jockey AP McCoy, riding Shutthefrontdoor, favourite to claim the title for the second time in his career in his last-ever race, it promises to be a more emotional ride than usual.
But how do you go about choosing a winner?
Being a once-a-year guesser, I always find it a lottery where luck takes over and form goes out of the window.
I tend to pick names of horses I like, which means I will probably back Court By Surprise at 40-1 and Tranquil Sea at 100-1, and wonder why I never win!
