Shifty's Grand National Preview Part 3. There'll Probably be a Part 4

This morning, the 40-horse entry list for Saturday's Grand National was confirmed. Here's a look at a few more of the contenders:

Don't Push It- confirmed this morning as the mount of Tony McCoy, who has won just about every horse race on the calendar apart from this one. McCoy is likely to have a job on his hands handling this 10-year-old, who is carrying plenty of weight. But this Jonjo O'Neill- trained horse has good recent form- don't expect him to be 33/1 for long. Has a good chance

Eric's Charm- a veteran of 12 years old, this Oliver Sherwood- trained horse has great recent form. Proven over this distance, his stamina should hold, and providing jockey Wayne Hutchinson can steer the horse through the early carnage, this old charmer, who will have less weight on than many around him, has a chance of becoming the first 12-year old winner since Amberleight House in 2004. 50/1 is well worth consideration
