Murphy sticks with National winner Timmy Murphy will partner Comply Or Die in the John Smith's Grand National at Aintree on Saturday. Murphy had the choice between riding The Package or last year's runner-up, both of whom are from the David Pipe yard, but has elected to stay loyal to the 2008 winner. Graham Lee, also a former Grand National winner, will ride The Package. David Johnson, who owns both horses, told At The Races: "Timmy Murphy will ride Comply Or Die. I told him it's make your mind up time, so he's decided to stay with Comply Or Die. "It doesn't surprise me as he's come first and second for the last two years and it's very hard to get off that. Graham (Lee) will ride The Package and he was very pleased with him the other day. "I think they've both got big chances, but it's a very tough race and every horse in the race has a chance." Comply Or Die has only been seen twice since finishing second behind Mon Mome 12 months ago. He is due to shoulder 11st 5lb in this year's renewal of the world's greatest steeplechase. The Package, who will carry 10st 7lb, was last in action at the Cheltenham Festival, where he was narrowly touched off in the William Hill Trophy.
