Only 9 horses taken out.

Carlingford Lough, Third Intention, Roi Du Mee, Turban, Living Next Door, Spring Heeled, Katkeau, Golden Chieftain & Godsmejudge

Think he's just outside.  All horses 10-04 now are in and rest are waiting.

Thursday i think

The final field of 40, plus four reserves, will be known shortly after 10.00am on Thursday, April 7.

There were no further withdrawals from this stage last year, so I'd expect a couple out at most.

thought we might lose Gilgamboa or Pendra although cause of causes has no chance of getting in now so maybe not. Katenko also has virtually no chance but he'll probably be left in, how he is still OR 147 is beyond me

Can't see it being genuinely soft Dyno... few showers forecast but bit of warmth. Reckon it will be good to soft and perfect for most myself.

Zazu. AS per the other thread... where are you? In the River Mersey

The 2014 winner Pineau De Re needs six late withdrawals to make the cut for Saturday's Grand National at Aintree.

A final order of elimination for the £1m race, which has a maximum of 40 runners, was announced on Tuesday.

Lower-rated horses are balloted out, with The Romford Pele currently occupying the number 40 slot.

As it stands Bishops Road (41), Knock House, Perfect Candidate and Maggio (44) will be the four reserves for the race, with Pineau De Re at 46.

In danger of missing the cut
41: Bishops Road, winner of the Grand National Trial at Haydock in February    46: Pineau De Re - Winner of the Grand National two years ago
47: Highland Lodge, winner of the Becher Chase - Aintree's trial over the National fences    48: Alvarado, fourth in the National in 2014 and 2015
The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) has indicated it is open to reviewing the entry system ahead of next year's National.

Pineau De Re was 43rd on the list before revised ratings were applied on Tuesday.

Others in danger of missing out are Becher Chase winner Highland Lodge (47), Alvarado (48) - who has twice finished fourth in the National - and Cheltenham Festival winner Cause Of Causes (49), who was rated about 16-1 joint fifth favourite for the race .

"It's life, I'm afraid. It's like complaining about the weather. It's one of those things, there's nothing we can do about it," said Alvarado's trainer Fergal O'Brien.

Pineau De Re won the National two years ago under jockey Leighton Aspell, who also triumphed last year with Many Clouds for trainer Oliver Sherwood

I think realistic is more appropriate. Nothing can be done to get a run.

Cant see that happening rl91. Think they fancy OFB just as much as TRP

Do you see any others coming out Headmaster?

Does look like all top 40 set to run now. believe only one doubly declared been taken out of alternative engagement.

Mind you, can't really complain, as The Romford Pele has been my main fancy for months and sneaking in at 40 is a right touch.

Black Thunder has drifted to 170 from 90 yesterday.  It's being auctioned tomorrow so new owners could pull it???

I wouldn't have thought you'd buy a horse at the National sale who's declared only to pull it out?  Unless you were Kerry Lee maybe?

Actually, re Black Thunder, it appears Mr Waley Cohen may have a ride after all.....so that's another confirmed runner

be very unlucky if didn't get in now, surely one will drop out in the next few days

Thanks for that Reg. Have backed Knock House (nrnb), so no loss if not get in but hope we both do.
