I thought after the National last year he was the closest in type to Red Rum we've seen. Tough, genuine and clever. Would be great to have a dual National winner again.

Tiger Roll probably isn't even the stable's main hope this year.
Illegitimi non carborundum
Something that needs considering regarding Tiger Roll is that while he’ll be a few pounds higher than last year, the unseasonable ground was supposed to be against him then.
With luck in running he has to be the one to beat.

Is it not ages since a GN winner actually won another race?
I think Many Clouds did. That wasn't too long ago.

Blaklion sold for 360k and off to Kirby. Absolutely insane price.

Went in again today on Noble Endeavor. At least I'm living up to its name
I took 40/1 ew 5pl (1/5) NRNB/BOG as I didn't have those concessions on the earlier bets.

Ill be trying to find a special at one of the books with a Gordon Elliot 1,2,3.
Tiger Roll
Noble Endeavour
Don Poli (Ill find a different one)
Probably do Tricast as well for interest.
Closest ive been was my F/C of Balthazar King and Double 7 getting pipped by Pinau De rae. Not sure what it returned but I was close to tears, they finished 2nd and 3rd.
Being 11yo would never put me off a National fancy. Nor 12yo. 13yo maybe.
