Carlingford & Windermere head National weights

Carlingford Lough and Lord Windermere head the weights for the Crabbie's Grand National at Aintree on 11 April.

A potential ride for Tony McCoy in what will be his last National, the John Kiely-trained Carlingford Lough has been allotted 11st 10lb by handicapper Phil Smith with a rating of 161, leaving the Irish Hennessy winner 5lb 'well-in' compared to his official mark of 166.

Lord Windermere won the Gold Cup at Cheltenham last year and also has 11st 10lb to carry, with his trainer Jim Culloty having another candidate in Spring Heeled (10st 12lb), like his stablemate a winner at the Festival last March.

Irish Grand National hero and ante-post favourite Shutthefrontdoor (11st 2lb) forms part of McCoy's options, as does Sunnyhillboy (10st 8lb), and is one of three fancies for Jonjo O'Neill together with Merry King (10st 5lb).

Paul Nicholls has seven entries and chief among them is Unioniste in the colours of John Hales, successful with Neptune Collonges in 2012, when he had Sunnyhillboy a nose back in second.

The grey has been given 11st 6lb and is 2lb better off than his British Horseracing Authority figure.

Pineau De Re raced to glory for Dr Richard Newland 12 months ago and has 8lb more to carry this year with 11st, while runner-up Balthazar King has 3lb more on 11st 2lb and third home Alvarado 1lb more on 10st 3lb.

Of the 96 possibles, 25 are Irish-trained and one (River Choice) hails from France.
