Aycliffe’s top tipster shares his two top tips of the day, as he takes on the bookmakers...
Grand National
KILLYGLEN £10 E/W with Ladbrokes potentially pays £220
The day everyone goes to the bookies is here. You’ll already have a few names to look out for on the sweepstakes you’ve done at work or with your mates. But the one that can help you win big is Killyglen. Last year, the horse ran well before falling four fences from the end. Jockey Robbie Power, who won the National in 2007 on Silver Birch, believes the horse will be stronger this year. Won at Down Royal on St. Patrick’s Day and will be challenging at the front at Aintree.

LIVERPOOL to beat EVERTON in 90 minutes. £10 with Ladbrokes pays £26
The Merseyside derby FA Cup semi-final promises to be an exciting affair. Everton go into the clash as the form side, but Liverpool have been strong in cup competitions this year. Everton missed a great chance to strike a psychological blow in the league, when David Moyes fielded a weakened side and Liverpool won at a canter. Kenny Dalglish’s men needed penalties to beat Cardiff at Wembley in the Carling Cup final, but should see off their city neighbours inside 90 minutes.
