2019 Grand National

[Diamond Geezer]

Auvergnat will not run

Enda Bolger told Press Association Sport: "We want to let ante-post punters know that Auvergnat will be taken out of the Grand National at the next available stage. I find it puzzling how wrongly handicapped he is compared to the other Irish horses."

Decs for the GN Trial at Haydock on Saturday and odds for winning the double (Trial and the GN itself)

These are my thoughts on The Grand National Trial tomorrow at Haydock Park.

I'm sweet on Pobbles Bay. His chase mark has been dropped significantly for a few hard races last season on heavy ground. He had a pipe opener the last day over hurdles, finishing a respectable third. I fancy he'll run really well here back on decent ground off 131.

He was beating horses such as Ibis Du Rheu back into second in his novice handicap chase days; he also beat the quite highly rated Bun Doran who I've backed for this years Grand Annual at the Cheltenham Festival. He's good at beating higher rated horses when receiving weight.

He won those two races after having a several-month break, which he gets again now. He's lightly raced, still unexposed, on a really workable handicap rating too. I look forward to seeing if he can serve it up to the higher rated horses. I think he can do it.

Pobbles Bay Each Way @ 20/1

I think you have hit the nail on the head Marble. I know the owner of this horse and connections quietly fancy it. The Welsh National was his target but he didn't get in so this race has been targeted.

[Desert Orchid]

Yes. I have PB clear top on his old form.

Unfortunately I've missed and 20/1 or better.

[Marb]

Into a general 10/1 now chaps. Almost looks like best backed horse in the race.

Impulsive Star a NR todaya due to BHA restrictions relating to equine influenza.

Puzzled the declaration was accepted if that’s the case

Something to do with the paperwork brought by the yard, wouldn't have been known at dec stage.

[PlaceBacker]

I think Rathvinden although aged 11 [Lightly raced though] is a talented class horse and game as they come

The best current odds of 33-1 are tempting

I'm wondering what Aspell was doing on Pobbles Bay yesterday, steering him into trouble.

Maybe its all in my head.

Looked like the horse tried to run out and Aspell did his best to get him to stay in the race. He had looked mulish even before that to be fair

That was a phenomenal performance by Tiger Roll on spring debut.

As if P N Nichols trained him!

[Frankel]

Wasn't too shabby was it!

[wilsonl]

It was unbelievable. You’d have to think he’d be a player in the Stayers Hurdle on spring ground after a performance like that. Doesn’t have an entry but I’d supplement him if the ground was riding good five days out

[Frankel]

Can he really win the National again!

[wilsonl]

It requires an out-of-the ordinary performance but this horse is anything but ordinary

I don't think he would be out of place in the Gold Cup

Said the Sam earlier in the thread. Glad I've took prices on him for Nash.

Think we have our first dual nash winner for sometime. Think he'll be in GC next year and I'll be taking the first available price. Not felt this strong for sometime.

[wilsonl]

Despite being a Grand National winner I’d worry about his jumping in a Gold Cup
