I’m sitting pretty with £15 on Aimigayle at 25/1, placed at the time of starting the thread, plus a top-up £10 at 10s. For me, these are pretty big bets!
I notice Triggerman won 9 days ago. Not sure what to make of this. I thought it took 4 weeks to recover from a steeplechase. On the other hand he did win so obviously he has good form.
I thought he was nailed on to win the Scottish National last week, You could tell Ferdy had something in mind for this horse all season, he had a spin in a jumpers bumper around Southwell at Christmas, he wasn’t knocked about in the X Country at Cheltenham so last Saturday seemed to be the day.
Being almost brought down put paid to that so the only question would last week’s experience have put him off. Evidently not. The bookies will be reeling tonight from my £2 ew 12/1 stinger. (I’ll draw a discreet veil over the fact that I backed Balthazar King as well.)
