    It’s still The Galloping Bear for me, but after yesterday, I could see Defi Bleu bring targetted at this, and I’ll watch him closely

    Can somebody who has today’s Racing Post have a juke at the stable tour entry for Recite a Prayer for me please? Shop had already sold out this morning on my way to work. He’d need to go up a few pounds but his jumping is coming on.

    Fiddlerontheroof or Our Power for me at this stage, but a lot will obviously depend on how they get on at Newbury

    Does he know , Bailey might say there’s no long term plan but surely he,ll head here , he,s quirky but talented , if his jumping holds up I could see him running well

    HDLG- David Bass was interviewed on RTV and had a one-word answer when asked if Does He Know is a Grand National horse: “No.”

    Does He Know won’t look too well handicapped for this after that.

    Good luck to the Shark, but it would seem a bit ambitious for a horse who hasn’t raced past 3m and hasn’t won past 2m4f to be considered a National horse at this stage, no? His pedigree doesn’t really suggest it either.

    If The Galloping Bear runs on Saturday, I’d be happy for a respectable run with the National in mind. A win and then things will be tougher, but it will still be good to see him back

    Corach Rambler is made for this, isn’t he?

    “Corach Rambler has been laid out for this, hasn’t he?”

    FIFY. 😉

    He does seem to get behind in his races though so would need plenty of luck.

    Corach is rated 147. I’d be concerned that any defeats before the weights come out will nudge that down a pound or two, which may mean he doesn’t get in, especially when Mullins and Elliott run their 15 each.

    Last year 143 got in after a few late withdrawals.
