    He's not getting any younger and is an unlikely winner but should jump around safely and plug on through beaten horses in the last half mile.
    Good bet.

    The money is coming for Seabass. Ted is 62 today too
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Seabass and Ms Walsh now clear second favourite on Betfair. Papillon II?

    More likely Monkerhostin. A 10/1 shot that should be 33s.

    I'm on Seabass, Organisedconfusion, State of Play and According to Pete.
    All very small e/w bets.

    One of the bookies reps commenting on the volume of money for it, said if it continued at that rate (unlikely) it could go Fav.

    Although he's on my long list I find the notion of a horse that has not yet raced over three miles over fences going favourite for the National a bit bizarre. Comes here on the back of a two mile win on soft in Ireland. Time will tell whether this is inspired preparation.

    I would have thought the bookies would be very keen to take money on this horse and am a bit suspicious of talk that money is pouring on (it is Katie rather than Ruby that's on him).

    State Of Play now 18/1 with Bet365 to place first 5. Trades at around 12/1 on Betfair first 4. Massive massive price.

    William Hill now 7/2 for the first 10 but that is still decent. Jumps and stays which won't apply to most. Should be much shorter IMO.

    Just enough, hopefully.

    On this one, with According to Pete for EW value and Midnight Haze as the most underrated of the 100/1 shots Of those I haven't backed, am most worried about Always Right

    Can't buy into the Seabass thing,

    With better conditions, Ballabriggs for the place market,

    Black Apalachi is supposed to be in good nick and is another place bet

    Rare Bob is one that could run well at a price

    And I like Junior

    Had to add Seabass to my squad really. Took the 13/1 with SportingBet.

    My other bets remain as follows:

    Treacle 25/1
    Killyglen 18/1
    Cappa Bleu 18/1
    State Of Play 50/1

    I've backed six now, which is one or two more than I intended. I don't quite understand the support for Seabass either.

    My three biggest winners would be Shakalakaboomboom, Cappa Bleu and the drifting Giles Cross.

    Ruby stood down for day according to twitter people
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Hard luck on Ruby. Townend takes the ride.

    Enough to knock you senseless. Smacked into the ground and the horse clobbered him after that.
