The Grand National final is the centrepiece of a tasty looking card at Wimbledon on Tuesday, the action starts at 7:30pm on Sky Sports Xtra. As well as the main event there are a some real Derby contenders being put through their paces at the Plough Lane circuit and as a bonus Sky will also be showing the Blue Riband semi-finals from Hall Green.

T4 - Morell Warrior 78
A tight looking contest on the figures with less than three lengths covering the whole field. Smooth Turbo heads the list after his semi-final defeat of 2007 Hurdler of the Year Kildare Lark. If he starts in his usual fashion and clears the red jacketed Be All (who has a tendancy to move middle) then a repeat of the semi's could be on.
I'm already on Smooth Turbo at 50/1 and he's now a best priced 3/1 which is a fair price. Kildare Lark is definately a danger but at 2/1 or shorter he doesn't make any appeal. Eye Onthe Flame is capable of improvement and the 8/1 looks decent value, he would be worth considering as a cheap buy on the spreads but overall I'm happy to leave the race alone and hope that Smooth Turbo makes the first four at least.
