Last year's winner Tiger Roll features among 69 horses left in Saturday's Randox Health Grand National at Aintree following the confirmation stage. Tiger Roll could go off one of the shortest-priced favourites in the race's history following a second successive triumph in the Glenfarclas Chase at Cheltenham last month. Tiger Roll will now have to carry 11st 5lb after the weights were raised 4lb following the defection of Bristol De Mai. Pleasant Company, who failed by only a head to claw back Tiger Roll last year, is among six remaining from the Willie Mullins stable. The Becher Chase winner is now guaranteed a run in the maximum 40-strong field.
