Aintree Log

Nulty

These are my selections for the Granc National Meeting. Hoping to make a profit but not backing all selections. Will *(asterix) the ones I back.

Nulty

No time to look closely but heres my picks

2.00 Big Buck's Can't see it happening
2.35 Me Voici Like this horse and connection but goes in soft ground (G1)
3.10 What a Friend Carr and Nac fight for lead, IC @ Aintree? What a friend made it round Leopardstown in soft
3.45 Nedzers Return
4.20 Pigeon Island can't see anything else, maybe Nikola
4.55 Somersby Best horse but tough run at Cheltenham, Nightingale to pick up the piecs
5.30 Tara Royale To take another big step up

did lucky 63 on the last 6. Only 10c obv.

One winner @ 3/1. The rest were total flops (except BB, can't be backing 100/30 tho! Even with wings)

basically 2pts down

Nulty

2.00 Washington Irving (* 25/1 1pt ew)
Good ground and 2 miles will see the best of him @ 25/1 and 1/4 odds at Lads. Trainers horses have been running well and I reckon he thinks this horse can be competitive. Needs to get jumping right though

2.35 Ogee (* 4/1 1/2 pt Win)
Reckon he'll like the good ground better than other fancied horses and probably has more speed to take advantage.

3.10 Monets Garden (* 9/1 1pt ew)
Record around Aintree is impossible to ignore. Getting on but as good as ever beating Albertas Run at Ascot. The dryer it is, the closer Albertas Run ought to be.

3.45 Frankie Figg (* 14/1 1pt ew)
Winning form round Aintree. ought to appreciate the ground and potentially well handicapped. Also like Battlecry.

4.20 Lord Generous (* 12/1 1pt ew)
Backed him at Aintree hoping the ground would be better and will do so again today confident of better ground and the extra 3 1/2furlongs. Henderson is 10 from 27 the last 2 weeks.

4.55 Bob n' You (* 16/1 1pt ew)
Didn't look too long at this one. Following the stats here. 1/1 Course, 2/6 Going, 2/4 Distance

5.30 Style of Campile
Not much interest in bumpers, this one.

Nulty

I'm absolutely fuming. PP Live Betting offering 9/2 on Burton Port between the 2nd last and the last fences. My mouse starts acting the prick! :mad::(:mad:

Catenaccio!

Unlucky man

Nulty

Getting desperate now!

Might have to win the national to break even:p

2.00 Washington Irving 7th -4pt
Mystery?

2.35 Ogee -4.5pt
Hampered and never in it after that. Good winner all the same

3.10 Monets Garden 3rd -4pt
Ran well before it all catching up with him. Still jmps for fun.

3.45 Frankie Figg F -6pt
Smashed the second last when chance of win and miles clear of 3rd.

Clearly hasn't recovered from Cheltenham.

4.55 Bob n' You 3rd -5pt
Lived up to form, impressive run.

Nulty

Would have gone Peddlers 1pt Win and Osana 1pt Win so square one basically


Petit Robin 1pt ew Done on the line for a place. Doesn't get the distance
Au Courant 1pt ew Non-Stayer, the winner looks obvious in hindsight
Cerium 1pt ew
