    Eventually after days of crossing off and putting on I have backed ….

    COCKTAILS AT DAWN purely because of Hendo’s record in the race.
    EASTLAKE on his 2014 run
    MINELLA RECEPTION cos it likes soft ground

    Good Luck Folks :good:

    Wish I’d seen your excellent write up before Vtc.
    You lot have bagged the massive prices again. Leave some for me!

    My 4 and 2 halves against the field are:

    Main Bets:
    Village Vic, Bishops Road, Top Cat Henry and Mr Moonshine.

    Savers:
    Dromnea and Bennys Mist

    Got 33/1 Bishops Road for Saturday, so hope he doesn’t go in this.

    First thing you do with any race over the National fences is check what Waley-Cohen’s riding.

    Top Cat Henry each way for me.

    Cracking winner Raymo, well done mate :good:

    Well I’m having a day to remember too, unfortunately not for the best of
    reasons. Bishops Road doesn’t make the National, I’ve got to back him here,
    ane he gets as far as the 1st.

    I’ve got a backup in Top Cat Henry at 40/1 5 places with Betvictor, runs a
    very good race, but run out of 5th in the run in :wacko:

    I’m obviously keeping all my luck for tomorrow……I hope :unsure:

    Had Top Cat Henry jumped better he would have landed the place. Three bad mistakes were too much to overcome.

    Eastlake was third in this 2 years for the Jonjo/JP team, and I thought he would go on from that, but bar travelling nicely in a race at Ascot last winter, he’s been something of a disappointment. I almost bet him for The Grand Annual, but in a moment of clarity, I swerved him. He did, to be fair run ok in that race, and did get hampered down the back. I’ve no doubt he’ll come good, and it might as well be here as anywhere, but one of his disappointing runs was in this last year, and he’s hard to be enthusiastic about.

    Bloody Hell Fire….We have bought that bloody horse Bob and guess who never had a penny on today? :cry:

    Oh me too Gord, I just couldn’t have him this time…….called myself a few names lol

    Got the same problem in the big one, with a few running that I’ve had one or two pounds on in the past :wacko:

    Mixture of bad luck and shocking performances from the fancied runners. Fingers crossed that things ‘even out’ and punters are not faced with a similarly priced first five in the National itself. I wouldn’t like to see bookmakers rejoicing two days in a row.
