'Imperial Commander ' will be aiming to become only the third horse to win both the Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Grand National.

Champion jockey Tony McCoy has opted for the Ted Walsh trained "Colbert Station" while Ruby Walsh will be on board the Willie Mullins contender "On His Own".

Ruby's sister Katie will partner "Seabass" as she bids to become the first woman to win the big one at Aintree.

That race goes to post at 4.15pm.
