Companero, Cornish Sett and Roll Along also not entered.
I seem to have £140 on dead ‘uns, but that includes Drumconvis and Russian Trigger who ARE dead ‘uns. An improvement on last year, when I had £170 on horses not entered, which was half my portfolio.
Edit: that total is wrong, as it doesn’t include Golden Flight and Miko. Betfair still seem to be re-organising.
Just noticed that Gungadu isn’t an entry.
Entries down to a rating of 134 (the Irish horses are shown with Irish ratings. List does not include Louping d’ainay as I don’t know his rating.

Parsons Pistol 134The last two mentioned on the list were both killed in falls (Drumconvis & Russian Trigger).
Louping D’Ainay would be off around 151 David – at least he would be judged on his French rating.
Yes, I know Grey Desire, I was just including them as I had had bets on them prior to their demise.
Here are the other horses that I think would surprise different people by their absence:-
Brooklyn Brownie
Butlers Cabin
Dear Villez
Frankie Figg
Hoo La Baloo (Nicholls mentioned the National at the start of the season)
Operation Houdini
Southern Vic
Stan ("new" trainer not keen)
Toby Jug
Will Be DoneDavid has beaten me to the trigger with a list, so I won’t bother with mine!
Erm, Monkerhostin is Shirley Shum Mishtake?
The surprise entry to me is Ellerslie George, who is supposedly going for the Irish National.
Ouch, you’re just rubbing it into my wounds.
Twelve 7 yos! Including Palypso De Creek, Le Beau Bai, Tricky Trickster, Possol and Pomme Tiepy. Time ripe for our preconceptions to be blown apart, if this one will be.
yes sorry, Monkerhostin is not entered.
Don’t let me put anyone off producing a complete list…mine was done hastily, only goes down to OR 134 & as Gerald has spotted is not bombproof!!!
Air Force One has been dropped to the same mark (153) as when 2nd in the Hennessy.
All aboard
Fences only get smaller because of all the titchy horses jumping through them and not over them……
Not sure if I’m disappointed or pleased with this year’s entries. Given the prize money on offer I am definitely the former in terms of the numbers.
The dark horse in the entries, for me, is the Waley-Cohen Roulez Cool. I had my eye on this one for the race next year but never imagined he’d receive an entry for 2010. If he was a year older I would actually fancy him a lot more than I do now but his dam was a decent animal for the same owner.
Alan King has only one entry (AGAIN) and you have to wonder why anyone would send a staying chaser to his yard. Even if Halcon didn’t get an entry I thought at least Nenuphar warranted one.
I guess I am pleased aswell because there are quite a number this time around that can be disregarded from the outset in terms of both ability and pedigree. At least there should be a shortlist as opposed to the longlists of the last couple of years.
Glad to see Kilcrea Castle in there though as old Gerald and I can retire if he comes up trumps and was loving the way he jumped on his reappearance at Ascot. That will have shaken off the cobwebs.
Not retire, but can one do the 3rd year of one’s degree, 5 years after the 2nd year?
ive got one horse on antepost and thats because i dreamt it would win this years national over 3months back, strange i know but you never know
