Rare Bob is interesting but he finished very tired/slowly in the Becher. It was carrying top weight that day but if he's going to win the race you'd hope he would have got closer to the winner that day. I'm full up though and won't be making any more bets but a small onw on Rare Bob each way isn't a bad idea at 50/1. It's so competitive though.

Morgans · 13-04-2012 9:25am

Rare Bob a viable outsider and I think there is a little bit of value in the price. Wouldnt turn anyone off him. A handful that Id fancy more.

Slattsy · 13-04-2012 9:33am

Cappa Blue is one of those horses that you wonder how/why he's so short in the betting.
If you fancy State of Play on last year's run and that of previous year's you'd almost have to back Cappa Blue because Maloney has jumped ship.
Tricky one.

Juwwi · 13-04-2012 9:46am

I think Rare Bob is more of a spring horse aswell, was looking at his form the other day and his form at the Aintree festival is impressive.

Its the most open national in years anything could win it.

The only one Im sure I wont be backing is the fav.
I dont think he'll finish the course.

hucklebuck · 13-04-2012 12:34pm

Ah ****e, just went to back Organisedconfusion and he is in to 16 from 28.

stever75 · 13-04-2012 1:29pm

My money on seabass?

longshotvalue · 13-04-2012 1:46pm

Planet of Sound seems to be the completely forgotten horse of this race. He has a lot going for him here. The ground has come up good or near it which will be perfect for him. This year he has had two very good runs and has been kept for this since. 2nd in the Hennessy of 2lbs higher really looks to confirm his wellbeing in my eyes. I don’t know how he isn’t in the 16-20/1 range and ill happily take 33/1 EW with 5 places which is on offer nearly everywhere. There is 40/1 with 4 places on Will Hill but I like the extra place in this race.

1pt EW 33/1 5 places.

Jayo11780 · 13-04-2012 1:49pm

Sunnyhilboy for me all day long - 18/1 in PP, ticks all the boxes and fits within most trends...

25 e/w Sunnyhillboy 18/1
10 e/w Seabass 14/1
25 e/w Chicago Grey 12/1 (all the craze - & I'd hate to miss out:D)

Always Waining: This is the darker horse 40/1 with little form this year but with a fantastic course record. Loves this time of year and loves the course. Mon Parrain was a handicap snip in great form last year and it was no mean feat to scalp him. Distance is an issue but such is the way he goes around here, that there are worse 40/1 shots in the race. He is still in the Topham, and if he goes there on friday, I'll back him more confidently there instead.

I'll take it. I suppose the stamina is always going to be an issue, but I'd love to see him given the chance in the big race. Not getting younger. Has a handicap advantage over the course. Thanks to Hucklebuck for putting me onto bet365 NRNB for the national.

AngryBollix · 13-04-2012 7:25pm

e\w on Sunnyhillboy on thursday at 22\1.

Was not prepared to back Synchronised but he's out to 10\1 with William Hill but have little or no confidence in him

Big Daddy Cool · 13-04-2012 10:53pm

on Chicago Grey for ages now, but not sure about his jumping over the big fences and he's got carberry in the saddle :eek:. also just had a little bit on Black Aplalachi at 40's, i know he's 13 but he loves it there and his last run at fairyhouse was'nt bad at all, i backed Synchronised at cheltenham and if he drifts out a bit more, i might be tempted to have a bit on him, but at the minute i'll stick with the 2.

Morgans · 13-04-2012 11:00pm

I can't believe Synchronised in 10/1 now. I would be even more gobsmacked if he was to go off at a double figure price. Id be less surprised if he was 5/1 or less.

Hulk Hands · 13-04-2012 11:04pm

Think i've decided now. Chicago Grey, Black Appalachi and Rare Bob are my 3, all e/w. Might go for State of Play to place if the price is big enough, 10's +

JP Liz V1 · 13-04-2012 11:06pm

Sunnyhillboy and Chicago Grey e/w bet for me

jupiterjack · 13-04-2012 11:06pm

shakalakaboomboom, i always go on the name of horse, has stood to me in the past

Morleystreet · 13-04-2012 11:09pm

Organised confusion for me. Was going to back it yest and can't believe the price has changed so much today. Well not changing my mind on it now. Also a little on The midnight club.

He is well handicapped when you look at the horses hes giving only a few pounds to realy highlights that and is the perfect age but there are negatives aswell

Top weight.
Hard race last time out .
Not the biggest horse and can hit the odd fence.
Never ran over the fences before.

I could'nt back him myself mainly because of the hard race last time.

14/1 on bet365 at this moment in time :eek:

Huntley · 13-04-2012 11:19pm

Synchronised is a visual nightmare but he hasn't fallen over timber and I don't suspect he will tomorrow. I hope he wins but feel this has certainly come too soon for him.

mr.jingle · 13-04-2012 11:26pm

I'm just gonna pick about 8-9 horses and do a few small stake combo tricasts or straight tri casts usually pays a grand or two so worth the minimun type of bet it's hard enough getting the winner but sure i always have to push the boat and try be special

Good luck tomorrow folks

First 5

GMROCKS · 13-04-2012 11:46pm

Becauseicouldntsee (IRE) @20/1 has to be a great bet,just watched his last race came 2nd to sunnyhill boy,he jumps great,a front runner that has no prob with the distance,sunnyhill loked hard ridden way out and Becauseicouldntsee (IRE) looked he was out on a training session for this race jockey went very easy on him.16 runs 2 win2 7 places.down 20lbs since last run.sure he fit for 8 mile

im on.

Harry Angstrom · 14-04-2012 12:09am

Calgary Bay seems to be an overlooked horse. He beat Shakalakaboomboom nicely enough at Doncaster last time. Not much difference in the weights but Shakalaka.... is half the price of Calgary.

33/1 Calgary Bay looks tempting enough e/w.

I'm starting to think your're right. Back to lay possibly?

marozz · 14-04-2012 1:06am

It's a nightmare and I keep changing my mind, but these are the ones I'm gonna stick with :

Planet of Sound, Black Apalachi and On His Own - all e/w.

Colonel Sanders · 14-04-2012 7:49am

I still have a feeling that this won't suit Synchronised and/or it may come too soon after ths gold cup but I also think 10/1 is more than fair.

Colonel Sanders · 14-04-2012 7:50am

Look at the story entitled "Bookmakers prepare for national stampede" on the RP

Reporting that Ladbrokes will be 12/1 Synchronised this morning.
