Visually the most enjoyable National I've watched live. I'm just hoping all the jockeys and horses are okay. That would be a great result.

Great shout with Strong Leader, Euro. I followed you in.

I've actually just realised I had 2 quid each way on Gwennie the day it won first time out in its career when trained by Jonjo O Neill at 80/1.

That's more than I've had on it recently. Nevermind.

Unlucky Tan. At least you picked horses that ran well. Especially Ballee off top weight. He must be a horse to keep on side for another day.

Shortening up a wee bit now. I hope he runs well.

Taken Mr Incredible, Mahler Mission and one of the rank outsiders, Eldorado Allen in the Grand National.

Good luck everyone.

I think we are about the only two people on earth who think Eldorado Allen could run well, Danny. Hopefully the ground continues to dry up. I mentioned him with a write up on the Grand National...

Did Kyntara get up? I really hope so.

4.40 Pinot Rouge. She dug deep last time in testing conditions and can surely only improve here. A real case of David versus Goliath, with Susan Corbett taking on the big guns. I don't think she has...

I'm wondering if the old boy Chantry House is starting to look well handicapped for the staying handicap hurdle on Saturday at 1:20.

Nicky Henderson's got plenty entered for Aintree. Chantry House...

Bythesametoken in the Red Rum. He's been in good form this season and soft or heavy ground won't be a problem. They've given him a nice break of two months or so from his last run and he can go...

You had him right last year, Luke.

What's your pick for this year, I'm intrigued.

I quite liked Eldorado Allen's staying on fourth in the Hennessy, and they've done his wind now. But really...

Jennie Candlish has gone and entered Chedders in the Topham. He'd probably make the cut if they decide to declare him. I guess I'd have to put a giant line through his last run over hurdles. He's a...

I'm keeping an eye on whether trainer Lucinda Russell enters her unexposed and improving chaser Traprain Law in the 2 mile handicap chase at the Grand National meeting. This horse is 2/4 over fences,...

Good placer, Chaum.

I like the one that beat History Of Fashion that day you mention Outsider, Street Value.

That was some performance given Street Value was pulled up the time before, but it got him bumped enough...

Well done, Sim. They must have trained him to sit closer to the pace, as his Breeders Cup Turf was won from being held up last. Good piece of training from Charlie Appleby I reckon.

One horse I got right for the right race, the Breeders Cup Turf, after about 3000 pages of this thread, Rebels Romance, has gone and won the Sheema Classic at 28/1. How he went off that price I'll...

Musselburgh 3.35: A sporting interest on Ravenscraig Castle here. I remember his third in the Melrose at York, coming up to three years ago, like it was yesterday. Ravens hasn't got his head in front...

Nice one, Treff.

He races again tomorrow in Kempton's 8:00, now further down the handicap. One last go on him tomorrow, (promise).

I haven't got any hair left, Tan.

Not on my head anyway. :)

Mr Professor already has some back form in a listed race, which was how he got rated 100+ a couple years ago. He could mix it up in groups three's or even the right type of group 2 in time. They say...

Highfield Princess.

R.I.P
What a star she was for John Quinn. One of the most improved horses you could wish for aswell. She was rated just 57 for her first handicap run at Doncaster. There's...

A fabulous pick yesterday, well done Outsider.

Looking forward to keeping an eye on your selections this flat season.

I've two horses I want to mention for Saturday.

Bangor 1:30.

Cheddleton, yes I said it, Cheddleton. A frustrating horse to follow for two years between 2021-2023, where he was often trying to...
