    I think they’ll be tempted by the GC , say Galopin runs badly tomorrow , the fav is very talented but he’s beaten plenty times ? , will both the 2 younger horses stay ? , this could be an open GC

    Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026

    I’ll be suprised if they do both , may well get entries but if he ran a big race in March Aintree would prob come to soon

    I’ve bet two just now, both at 40-1. Lecky Watson, and Resplendent Grey

    Funnily enough I tickled Lecky at a big price for the Ryanair earlier

    Haiti Couleurs up to OR 159. Not enough for a Gold Cup win but the National is there for the taking. Same mark I Am Maximus won off.

    Could Haiti Couleurs become the first horse to win and Irish, Welsh and English National. I think he has a great chance :good: And like I Am Maximus he has shown can carry the heavier weight

    Gorgeous Tom
    Nice mark, ran in the Coral Gold Cup like De Bromhead’s Senior Chief prior to running at Aintree. Related to Cappa Bleu, who placed twice in the race.

    What mark did Native River go to after winning the Welsh , I wouldn’t underestimate this horse , if there’s some give in the ground he’s in the mix

    Native River won the Welsh National off 155 and got raised to 168; Haiti Couleurs won off 154 and has been put up to 159.

    Handicapper being fairer considering Haiti prob won easier , if they go down the GN route it might make the difference however I get the feeling they want a go at the GC

    Resplendent Grey is a pretty mad price and will be my first bet in the race alongside L’Homme Presse. The former is perhaps a shade below being graded level and is clearly in good nick while the latter has been an Aintree hopeful of mine since his novice days. Maybe handicapped to his best, but has shown that he can be competetive all the same.

    I’m another one looking at Panic Attack. Can’t not be impressed with her Cheltenham/Newbury double and has had a nice canter around Newbury again since. Happy to wait with her, but definitely of interest.

    Victtorino will be a bet once the weights come out, assuming he gets an entry. 146 is on the cusp of getting in these days, so it might be a wait and see where he is in relation to the weights job.

    I’m sure there’ll be a dozen more once the entries come out.

    Wonder if Christian Williams is considering this for Deep Cave?

    Top weight in tomorrow’s Great Yorkshire off 141, will need to win to get in the Grand National.
