Grand National:Madison Du Berlais heads 65 entries for Saturday's John Smith's Grand National following the confirmation stage.
A total of 10 horses have been removed, including previous joint-top-weight Notre Pere, the Willie Mullins trio of Deutschland, Dooneys Gate and Equus Maximus and the Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained Razor Royale.
The withdrawals mean the likes of the much-touted The Package, Hello Bud and Palypso De Creek are now guaranteed a run.
At the bottom of the handicap there are five horses currently on 10st 5lb, but official British Horseracing Authority ratings mean the two that would currently make the final field are Flintoff (138) and Abbeybraney (137).
Whinstone Boy and Chief Dan George, both strongly fancied for National glory, still need horses to drop out to make the cut for the Aintree spectacular.
