Split your stake, do both ew.

I'm enjoying C4's coverage. Less trips down nostalgia lane in the build up that the BBC used to overdose on. (And none of that annoying theme music playing in the background all day).

Although yer man asked a ridiculous question there a few minutes ago.

"What makes a horse win a race"?

Well I don't know about you lads, but in my experience if he crosses the finish line ahead of all the others, that usually does the trick !

9/4 about Solwhit looks like the value bet of the day now with hindsight.

I'm sorry I didn't have a cut. Especially after backing him 3 weeks ago.

I threw away a bet slip for a tenner on him, could just see another longshot bombing passed him like the the other favourites. hindsight is a great thing...

My bets for today:

3.25 - Cantalow 6/1 EW
4.15 - Chicago 11/1 EW
4.15 - Soll 40/1 EW

already lost with Dodging Bullets... I think retirement is calling for Ruby.

I’m going for 2 more min bets on the national, in the hope that I can have a winner and not have to look at Alex Fergusson in the winners Enclosure. I’ve been struggling to come up with anything but Auroras Encore might just be well handicapped on his very good 2nd in the Scottish version last year. He has a good few poor runs on softer ground since but is down to a lower mark that that run and if he can get back to form in similar conditions 100/1 with 5 places looks great value.

I’m also going with a small bet on a bit of class in Quel Esprit. Even though he has fallen a few times in general he is a very good jumper and conditions might just suit him today. He has had very little racing this year, and although he does look as good as he was he is still only 9 and there could well be a big race in him. Hes worth the risk of a small bet at 50/1

1 Point EW 100/1 Auroras Encore 5 Places Bet365 and others
1/2 Point EW 50/1 Quel Esprit 5 places Bet365

Value of the day,it was value of the year and I invested big time.Should have been 1/1 in a worse race than Cheltenham.
