My 5 bullets for this race now!
SNOW FALCON 25/1 EW 5 places
Mall Dini 10/1 EW 5 Places
General Principle 33/1 EW
Moulin Vent 33/1 EW 5 Places
THUNDER & ROSES 33/1 EW 6 Places
Good luck all
Poor record in this
Forever Gold has scrapped in at the bottom. Likes FH and bottomless 33s
Monbeg Notorious 14s, Bellshill 20s. And Snow Falcon 22s each way 6 places. Tempting to do more but will stick with 3.
Not a lucky race for me, but still like to have a bet.
So trying
MALL DINI & BELLSHILL WIN ONLY
OUTLANDER EW (4 PLACES ) HAD OUTLANDER SINCE TIPPING HIM IN PAT’S ANTE POST COMP
CALL IT MAGIC EW ( 6 PLACES )
GENERAL PRINCIPAL & JETSTREAM JACK EW (5 PLACES )
The best things in life are free.
But you can give them to the birds and bees.Landed on Monbeg Notorious, Dounikos and Snow Falcon.

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!Well done those who had General Principle.
That was a very gruelling race and Kemboy couldn’t even get over the 1st fence. Monbeg Notorious was never travelling the way I wanted to see him and it was just a question of time.
Bellshill gave it a great go and I think it was a bit harsh that he was disqualified. You can only do so much when a horse has given his all and wanders under pressure.
As the song went “Don’t it make my brown eyes blue” and he fell at the 5th
A very tough renewal with only 8 finishers. Is it ever dry in Ireland?
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
Can’t recall a finish as complex as that; Bells Hill would have won without slowing + straddling the last, Isleofhopeanddreams if the race was 50 yds shorter, Forever Gold if the race was 50 yds longer, + Folsom blues if the race was 100 yds longer; great handicapping over 3 miles 5 furlongs
It was a crazy finish Betfair, but a fantastic one at that. At first I was cursing my luck with Arkwrisht, but Folsom Blue must go down as the unlucky loser
Finally got round to watching this (busy week) on YouTube.
I know it’s not easy, but what a rotten commentary that was by O’Hehir. Only eight finished, but you’d not know it if you had it audio-only. He barely mentioned any fallers, certainly didn’t mention any pulled-ups. That, to me, is a basic requirement of commenting a big National. You have nine minutes to fill. Telling us the first three only for eight of those minutes is not, to me, a good commentary.
Folsom Blue would have won if not impeded and he has barely mentioned the horse’s name.
I have to agree with you Quelle Farce. It was not his finest hour. We aren’t blessed with too many top drawer commentators over here, but he really got the basics wrong. I would excuse him the multitude of mud splattered Gigginstown silks.
Aside from that though, I also agree about Folsom Blue, and it really was a great finish
