    Who cares whether Presentings stay 4m, when they keep on racking up G1s. :shock: Another one via Weapon’s Amnesty. 8)

    I don’t think there’s much thought anymore. Mon Mome has to go off favorite now.

    I think you`re right peter his form this season is as good as it gets from a previous years national winner.

    Wouldn`t be surprised to see him make it a second win.

    10 isn’t old for a National winner. 12 of the last 20 winners were 10 or older. Esha Ness was also 10 when he was first past the post…

    His weight might be a bit of a concern; but his age is not a problem in my view.

    State of Play is 12lb better off with Mon Mome and he’d have been closer last year but for a mistake or two. 25 on BF seems a tad generous.

    I think I’m now going to back everything that NTD runs, be it non stayers

    geriatrics [Hello Bud, Ollie] and, no word that’s printable

    ….in the words of the master, ‘if you throw enough s**t at a wall some of it will stick’. You wouldn’t hear PN say that, now….

    There is something niggling me in the back of my head about Beat the Boys if he were to run in the national ,could just be a flea though i suppose :wink:

    Would not back Knowhere (almost) any price. Always had some jumping problems, now it is worse than ever. I ask the question: Should he be allowed to run, for his own, his rider and rivals safety?

    Prescient.

    One of those occasions you hate to be right.

    Am sure it won’t stop Twister running something that is just plain wrong.

    [/size:ugalvylz] What difference does the fact that he’s a grey make. The has been two previous greys win before The Lamb (dual winner) and Nicholas Silver. Maybe it could be time for grey number three. After all the as been a few greys close like Suny Bay and What’s Up Boys.

    One thing that worried me about Beat The Boys in the William Hill was that he ran 5 wide with no cover, as if the jockey was given instructions to do so, so that the horse could get a good view of the fences. If the horse doesn’t like to be in the melee it doesn’t bode well.

    It was a play on the name darwengray…

    And there have been plenty of bad jumpers in the National that are no way near as classy as Knowhere. I am convinced he can not only complete the course; but he can run a big race too.
