Grand National
The World Famous Grand National is one of Dean's first memories of him using his prediction abilities and his record has gone on to be so good that he has been nicknamed "The Grand National's psychic" by the media.
In 1981, at just 9 years old, Dean was asked by his dad for his first ever tip for the Grand National, without any hesitation he picked Aldaniti, he said that the horse's name just seem to "jump out of the page", the horse went on to win.

His record at the Grand National has been very good ever since and he receives hundreds of emails every year from people wanting to know who is supporting, the race also attracts a lot of media interest for him, not only in the UK but around the World.
For those who don't know the Grand National is a world-famous horse race which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse near Liverpool, England. It is run over a distance of four miles and 856 yards, with horses jumping thirty fences over two circuits of the Course.
It was first run in 1839 and is one of the only races that the the whole nation loves to bet on.
