Ok folks the big one is this weekend. 

Whats the mortgage going on?

I have a pretty decent track record in the national I normally back 2/3 each year and I have backed 6 winners out the last 7.


My cash is already on Ebony Light e/w I would have backed Clan Royal looks a certainty after last year but the price is far too short for me.

Took Clan Royal ages ago and is a must imo.  This is the only race Clan Royal has been trained for since the last National (I'm still miffed about it being taken out last time!)

yep Clan royal for me too. 8)

I like Hedgehunter & Clan Royal, however I think for a race with 30 runners and no guarantees your horse will finish (remember Clan Royal the past 2 years - looked like the winner a furlong from home in 04 then in 05 got carried out on the last circuit). For me, the prices are far too short in such a race.

imo they are the 2 best horses in the race, I just wouldn't be comfortable taking such a short price on those 2. I have always had a bet in the National, however I am seriously considering not having a bet in this year's race.

 

I backed Clan Royal to win.

Ebony Light e/w.

And one random one where the name means something to me   e/w as well.

I normally get a tip from a lad at work, I will have to get in contact with him and find out. 
He has the luck of the Irish.

Yip I was on Clan Royal last year as well but can't be having 5/1  :o

Both Hedgehumper & Clan Royal will drift between now & race time but I'll have a closer look towards the end of the week

The trends go towards horses carrying below 11 stones(hedgehunter carried 11-1 last year but the previous 9 winners all has less than 11 stones) that have either good course form or good staying form.

My two against the field are garvivonian (20/1 with laddies)and numbersixvalverde(12/1 around)

good luck

Dun Doire

Le Duc

This horse is seriously Overpriced.

forest gunner e/w for me

OOOOOh, i drew clan royal in the sweepstake at work :D
Glad i read this thread now.

Jack High for me £25 e/w

everyone knows that Jack High never wins  :D

Hedgehunter is a class above for me.

No offence to those who have backed Clan Royal / Hedgehunter, but to back any horse in the grand national at odds around the 6.0 or 7.0 is madness.

Cornish Rebel for me - 2nd in the Scottish National.  Slightly tempermental.  It is Nicholls' pick of his stable tho.

  Joe's Edge e/w for me, he had some good form last season, including winning the Scottish National (admittedly carrying a lot less weight), but he is still only carrying 10-10 and I have a feeling he has been laid out for this race. Obviously the two market leaders are going to take all the beating, but there is no value to be had backing horses at those prices in the National.
   So, in short, don't back Joe's Edge I have tipped it so it is bound to be the first faller in the race!

ive got a 5er each way on tripod, bit of a doubt if it has the legs for the final furlong or two 8)

I have been predictable and gone for Jack High.  :D

Looks like me & you will be cheering it on together ed.  COME ON

Are you sure PD ?

I have not removed the timeform squiggle that I awarded you earlier in the week  ;)

Gone for Innox myself. Also had tickle bets on Risk Accessor and Sir OJ.

Its Garvivonion for me. Its done it over the National fences, only fallen once in 86 races & is getting 18 pounds from Hedgehunter.

Hedgehunter is the class horse but don't fancy it carrying such weight with the softening ground.
Clan Royal is to headstrong & is more likely to place than win but can't have it so short priced.

Clan royal and hedgehunter look great horses but at around 6/1 not much value. ive gone for forest gunner and jack high

I've gone with Ebony Light, Garvivonnian and Numbersixvalver all E/W . Would have gone with Clan Royal if it had a better price

i have a free £1 bet after backing 2 outsiders high and laying them low on betfair so unless my outsiders come in when i will get a nice little earner then £1 is my winnings so who should i put it on?

innox for me but also had a tenner on risk assesor at 66-1  puntal allso 66-1 a good bet in my opinion
