Although the Becher Chase is one of the early season handicapping highlights, it also serves as a test for the following season Grand National.
The 3m2f competition is held over Aintree's famous spruce fences and two winners – Amberleigh House and Silver Birch – went on to score points in the world's largest steeplechase.
Mr Vango is one of the horses in this year's line-up testing his skills for the Nash, but it has been a long time since a horse carried the highest weight to victory.
The Becher Chase odds can be found on the Paddy Power website and app. Otherwise, below are key historical trends from the last 10 overtimes and tips based on major race stats.
