    Rock the kasbah was my choice but winning on saturday has probably spoilt that now.

    Favourite Sizing Tennessee an unlikely runner according to trainer, not recovered from Newbury as well as they expected.

    Been a relatively dry winter thus far, would be good for Dingo Dollar if it stayed that way.

    16/1 would look a huge price if he ran on good or good -soft, surely?

    No concern with 3m 5f? At first glance it sounds a cracking price.

    One word of warning is it's 26 on Betfair and nothing up on the lay side. I'd be a bit worried about with the race only 3 weeks away.

    Alan King in his Weekender column:

    He's in the Welsh National but that was a back-up entry and he won't be going there.

    I like Elegant Escape for this. Ran well at Newbury and one would expect him to be better the further he goes. 12s is fair

    Welsh Grand National

    A quick look at this race last night highlighted Looksnowtlikebrian as potential value at 16/1.

    Elegant Escape looks a worthy favourite though

    Thoughts?

    Going to Newbury with Ms Parfois without a prep was probably a mistake but I'd fancy her to put in a good showing if she gets her ground. I backed her for this straight after what I thought was a decent run. Looks right up her street.

    Whats the ground at chepstow going to be like?
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Had it marked down for Hennessy. Ending up running at Newcastle,.ran excellently considering nearly 2 years off the track. May not win, I really like Elegant Escape, but at 20s I'll be having a few quid each way. Sure someone posted it would more likely run somewhere else before coming here and have a chance.

    Depends on what it's like at the moment as only scattered showers forecast through weekend then drying up after that....in other words, no idea.

    No Ms Parfois??????

    Honeyball confirmed it was very much the target after Hennessey.

    Anyone heard anything.?
