    I'm no protestor but watching the race it does seem like it's ridiculously dangerous.. Has it the highest and most dangerous jumps?

    The fences are high but compared to what they were down the years they aren't.

    No, those two ran on, A D obeaux and another collided. Think it might be I Just Know down but not sure.

    Ah thanks. It's a shame for any horse to be injured and it can't be fun for a jockey to fall off a horse off a national fence.

    Gutted, thought he was the winner all the way around until Tiger Roll picked him up. Then so close to getting back up. :(

    My current shortlist are Cause Of Causes,  Tiger Roll, Children's List, Warriors Tale and Vyta Du Roc.

    Tiger Roll is small, same with Cause Of Causes but small horses aren't inconvenienced by Aintree as much as people might think. Another example of a small horse running well is Sunnyhill Boy. Both are by flat sires as well.

    Tiger Roll is a massive price knowing he'll go there after Chaltenham. 

    Children's List is unexposed. He's had too few races over fences to expect him to go this year but wouldn't like to let him run here without backing him.

    Warriors Tale is progressing nicely, he's consistent and recently had his highest RPR performance. He'll go on any ground If I'm not mistaken he's just been bought by Trevor Hemmings. Not yet totally convinced of his stamina but no real doubts either.

    Vyta Du Roc has had colic two weeks ago and is up against it to get to Aintree, but if he got there I'd be having a bet on him.
    I'm on the right side of a nose winning distance this time :)
    Get in the Tiger!

    Great race.

    Delighted for Davy. Flying in the twilight of his career.

    Hope the horses and jockeys that were down are ok.

    Hahahaha, couldn't have Tiger roll if i was given a dozen bets, was certain he'd fall or clatter that many he'd be too far back. Well done backers.
