These days gambling firms have to think outside the box and thats exactly what British bookmakers William Hill are doing after agreeing a deal with massive Spainish gaming machine operators Codere.

Now as a result of the joint venture William Hill has been awarded a gaming licence by the autonomous Madrid regional Authority.

The news followed an announcement by William Hill two weeks ago that authorities in Valencia had granted it a license to offer gaming services with the joint venture now able to operate under the Victoria brand name in Spain.

It's the biggest race in the world and on Saturday Britian will come to a standstill when 41 runners and riders go to post at Aintree to fight it out for the coveted prize.

It's estimated that on average every British citizen spends £2 on the National with most punters entering bookies for their one and only time during the year.

Sweepstakes will be held today in offices and other work sites across the country with most hoping to pull the name of HedgeHunter (pictured left) out of the hat.

The Irish trained horse won the National three years ago and now nearing the end of his career many will wonder if he's to go out on a high.

At 25/1 he's an attractive price though the favourite for this year's race is Cloudy Lane and when you look at the pedigree you can see why.

With outstanding recent form, this horse is well ahead of the handicapper and has exceptional claims. Donald McCain is the trainer and it was his father who saddled the great Red Rum. The only negative is that he is unraced at Aintree.
