    Not to mention Denis o regan had choice between Giles cross and black Apalachi!
    I'll definitely have a bit each way on

    I think O'Regan couldn't do the weight for Giles Cross. That's not to diminish Black Apalachi's chances, I fancy him big time

    Opinions of On His Own lads? Looking like ill be sticking a few on him.

    Only small thing against him is age, 8 year olds don't have a great record in the race but otherwise has a decent shout.

    Small each ways on Vic Venturi at 80/1. Always back him, saw a Dessie Hughes stable lad interviewed the other week. Was saying how much he hoped Vic got in that he's flying at home. 19 lbs lower than this time last year, and his run last time he scoped dirty after.

    Also a small each way on Mon Mome at 66/1

    Well there are so many fancied horses in this race today, hard to say where to place your money.

    For the fun of it did a couple of reverse forecasts

    Chicago Gray & On His Own

    and

    West End Rocker & Cappa Bleau

    They will probably all fall at the first :)

    Had to throw a small wager on Alpha beat at 66/1 and Hello Bud (our dog is called Buddy) also at 66/1. If he wins he would be the oldest horse since 1853 or something like that!!

    Black Apalachi at 33/1 has to be good for an each way flutter since he has been over the course, and fallen, a few times!!

    I tipped Seabass :D

    Managed to get on him at 22/1

    My other selection is Organisedconfusion and his price collapsed yesterday he went from 28 - 16 then out to 22/1 and down to 20/1 now. Got him at 28, so happy with that.

    I might have a small interest in Black Apalachi or Vic Venturi too.

    Now all he has to do is jump 15 of the most challenging fences in the sport twice, stay 4m4f, beat some 40 horses including the Cheltenham Gold Cup winner, multiple Cheltenham festival winners, Irish Grand National winner, two past winners of the race in Ballabriggs and Mon Mome.

    In the bag!

    Ew for me on state of play. Neptune collonges and on his own
    Can't get onto hills but that 4on state of play for a top ten looks a gift for a horse placed in his last 3 nationals
    The horse will jump around and bar something bringing him down it looks
    A crazy price

    He is meant to be a great stayer. Was well back in the Gold Cup but came through to win. He is top weight though and no horse has won Gold Cup/Grand National double in same year since Golden Miller in 1930s.
    He has had a tough race in the Gold Cup and this is a tough ask.
    I think his odds are way too short.

    Paddy Powers site is down - I think its suffering from overload... They'll be kicking themselves in Clonskeagh at the moment! I wondered if it was a problem with my logon details, but with nearly 900 in the 'Live Chat' queue to talk to Customer Services, looks as though I'm not the only one.

    On the upside Bet365 and Ladbrokes are working grand
