Halliwell Anglers landed their second successive long shot to take a commanding lead in the Bolton Evening News Naps competition.

They followed up their 16-1 winner at Kempton in Week Two by picking Grand National winner Bindaree at 20-1.

Ten other teams backed the Nigel Twiston-Davies trained chestnut gelding which won a thrilling finish with What's Up Boys, another popular Naps choice, in second place.

Champion jockey Tony McCoy was third on Blowing Wind, the 8-1 Fav, while Kingsmark was fourth at 16-1.

So far, with three weeks gone, top winning bets have been Falcon Hill at 11-1, Snow Shoes at 20-1 and now Bindaree at the same price.

Teams could only select from the Grand National this week. Bindaree backers were: Halliwell Anglers, G. Jeez, Holmark Hoofers, Stick It Up Amec, MCC, Albion Wood, No Hopers, Mustangs, Benny Boy's, Caught Napping and Elaneka.

Two hundred teams are taking part in the Anthony Axford sponsored competition, with a first prize of £500 to the winners.
