GBR Fantasy Jumps Series 2014-2015

What a finale to the 2014-2015 Fantasy Jumps Series! Our season-long strategy of focusing on the jockey-trainer-horse combinations paid dividends with Leighton Aspell and Oliver Sherwood combining to win the Crabbies' Grand National 2015 with 25/1 shot Many Clouds.

The trainer and jockey each earned 480 points for their success and meant our stable accumulated a fantastic 1,180 points on the final day of the series. An excellent haul.

This meant our stable finished with just short of 6,000 points and comfortably inside the top 150. It looks like the competition winners finished with around 7,150 points.

Crabbies' Grand National 2015: race preview

The money continues to come for Shutthefrontdoor, the final ride for champion jockey AP McCoy in the Crabbies' Grand National. McCoy has hinted that if he wins a second Grand National he will retire that very afternoon rather than ride on until the end of the season. If he does win then a few bookmakers might want to retire too!

Shutthefrontdoor was 8/1 but is now 6/1 with Ladbrokes overnight on Friday. The 2014 winner Pineau De Re lines up to defend his crown at a similar price of 25/1 as he was last year.

An injury to jockey Robbie McNamara on Friday could mean a late spare Grand National ride for Katie Walsh on Lord Windermere (50/1).

GBR Fantasy Jumps Series 2014-2015

After six months, starting with the Paddy Power Gold Cup back in November, the GBR Fantasy Jumps Series comes to head with the Crabbies' Grand National at Aintree on Saturday 11 April.

Our stable goes into the final two races on the calendar placed just outside the top 200 with more than 4,800 points.

That position owes much to Thistlecrack (25/1) and Tom Scudamore winning the Doom Bar Sefton Novices' Hurdle at Aintree on Friday.

That win notched up 235 points for our stable, a good chunk of our day's total of 485 points.

A big-priced winner in the Grand National finale could still shake up the final leaderboard.
