    This will be right up Bristol de mai Street , he maybe on the downgrade but he,s at his fav place , e.w Lord de Mesnil will have been primed again , anyone backing secret repieve id be worried he gets to far behind , Bristol won’t be hanging about

    Win Bristol De Mai

    E.w Lord de Mesnil

    I think Blaklion is the one here. Ran a very good race in the National last year and he seems to be in better form this season. Second in 2018 off topweight, he’s 16lbs lower today. Dan Skelton seems to have him as well ever.

    He’s not a bad e/w bet with 4 places available. There probably won’t be too many more finishers.

    They might struggle to get a third for the winning enclosure

    First post nailed it Lemons, well played with the 20’s.

    Well played Spoon with the 20’s too, and also Peter

    WD Lemons, Spoon and Peter.

    What a warrior Bristol de Mai is. He jumped like he was bouncing off good ground. That 2nd was nearly more impressive than his Betfair wins.

    Ran his heart out green , reminds me a bit of Neptune’s collonges prep for the GN , he could run a nice race at Aintree , still a classy horse on his day

    At least they were each pulled up in a timely fashion so it wasn’t too bad.

    Maybe the ground HDLG. When it gets like that its a bit specialist.

    He was beaten a long way out Mike , trainer was very bullish before hand to so it’s a head scratcher , see if they find anything wrong after

    Thank you Bob and Greenasgrass. I like this horse a lot, and pardon the pun, but I’ll definitely bear him in mind for The Irish Grand National.

    I think that I may have found my Aintree horse for next season well in advance
