Welsh National 2016

That was a fabulous performance. I couldn’t have been more wrong. A grand horse who must have a good chance in the GC. Well done all supporters.

Massive performance. Nice wee lift for my 9s vouchers.
I’d have him 2nd fav for the Gold cup. taking the 12.5 to cover my Thistlecrack vouchers.

Excellent performance from Native River but a bit excessive of Richard Hoiles (is he still a member here, by the way?) to nention him in the same breath as Carvills Hill.

Watch the 1991 Welsh National again, Richard, then reach for the old form books to see what Party Politics, Aquilifer, Bonanza Boy, Cool Ground, Twin Oaks, Kildimo, Boraceva et al had either already accomplished or were about to achieve and then you’ll see just how daft that comparison was.

Still, well done to all Native River backers; he’ll certainly head to the Gold Cup with place prospects, although I can’t see him troubling his more illustrious stablemates if they’re both on their game.

Another stunning Tizzard performance. Not bad for a six year old!! Has to go for the GC next.

Suspect so, deserves it. Got 40/1+ for the Aintree Grand National, so wouldn’t mind him going there.
If going for the Gold Cup there’s another front runner might get in the way.

Tizzard was laughing to himself but I wouldn’t rule out him doing a Mullins

Well if this isn’t the easiest race of the year to assess now it looks like Native River is running.He’s got top weight but that wont stop him,he’s actually rated 163 now but runs off 159 due to the early closure of this race.I know Caroles Destrier has a 4lb pull on their Hennessey run but thats not enough to reverse the form.Both horses trade at 10/1 jt Favs today and I have missed all the 25/1 as I didn’t expect connections to run him but this fast improving 6yo only has to turn up to win this as he fits perfectly in the ‘Carvills Hill’ and ‘Synchronised’ moukd of weight carrying achievers.TAPK has gone in hard with a £100 e/w bet at 10/1 with ‘BetFred’ who I cant believe haven’t slashed his odds because I’m on and another £100 win at 10’s on the machine..’Caroles Destrier’ would be my main danger if ‘Shutthefrontdoor’ 33/1 doesn’t turn up.

Hope I’m not coming across as boring?

When are you releasing the signed book Gord
and what is the title going to be called?

My first book was a bestseller Nath…’The King of Ante-Post’, a simple book like myself.
I followed that up with ‘Confidence is King’ another top 10 book then there was ‘Sex with the King’ that wasn’t such a hit but my last book ‘The legend that is’ will be my best yet…

there was ‘Sex with the King’ that wasn’t such a hit

I liked that book a lot, the bit where you take off the ginger jester’s head with one clean swipe was very good
