"Grand National Predictor"

It's the Grand National on Saturday and as racing is one of my favourite passtimes along with beer I thought I'd set up a predictor game. Below are the runners although some might not run depending on the going so all you need to do is pick 5 horses from the list that you think will finish as the top 5.

I'll score points as follows:

1st 10 points
2nd 6 points
3rd 4 points
4th 2 points
5th 1 point

Any of your horses that don't come in the top 5 will score 1 bonus point for successfully completing the course. The 1st figure in the brackets next to the horses name is how old it is and the second 2 figures are how much weight it's carrying so for example Point Barrow is 9 years old and is carrying 10 stones 12 lbs.

In the event of a tie the tiebreaker question is what will be the winning distance? The winning distances are:

Nose
Short Head
Head
X amount of Lengths

The lengths go up in 1/4 and a length is the length of a horse.
