    Lake View Lad my e/w pick. I like that he has had a breathing op and is blinkers (first time?). Could be the key! :D

    Backed Minellacelebration 10 e/w at 130/1 (Ladbrokes booster) and like the look for a place. Also did small 2 e/w's on Double Shuffle, Lake View Lad, Viex Lion Rouge and Talkischeap.

    Haven't had a nice win since Red Marauder back in the day.

    Genuinely asking. Why is 2m-2m4f form considered so relevant in a 4m2f race? Surely 3m+ form is more relevant? Yet I hear the shorter distance being advanced all the time as the reason to back a horse in this.

    Well the most relevant form is that he's won a Kim Muir(3m2f) and competed in staying chases elsewhere so there are no stamina question marks in his case.
    The element that he can win over 2m in graded company shows, for me, that he is quick and adds a feather to his bow.

    The question probably more relevant to a Farclas though, who has only ran once over 3m.

    I have Lake View Lad and Definitely Red. The woman, not a huge gambler, went for Mister Malarky and Any Second Now.

    I said to my brother this morning does he want me to put a bet on the grand national for him. He tells me "the favourite" and I put 50p on. Now it's only 50p, and I don't mind, but I walked past his laptop in the kitchen where he has it open to Paddy Power with a €1 multiple for some MMA thing to return €28. Little fecker.

    I have been taking pieces of Acapella Burgeois for a while now. Price might be going a bit but I think he is massive value for this, should be up with the favourites.

    A lot of them are walking strangely. It must be the speed they're going at and the surface. Normally there'd be a little bit more bounce in their step but a lot of them are taking strange loping strides in their walk.

    Some race. Some result. Well done Rachel Blackmore. Didn't back anything, but would have picked Minella Times and Any Second Now.

    Weights released today, Tiger Roll rated at 166, a rating O'Leary has said he will not allow the horse to run off.

    https://www.racingpost.com/news/2021-grand-national/i-hope-he-runs-for-the-public-elliott-on-7lb-national-rise-for-tiger-roll/473751

    Would be tempted to take a punt on Minella Times at 50/1 who looks chucked in off its weight.
    Boooooooooooooooooooom!
