    Decided to add Tiger Roll at 9’s. As much as it surprised me, that run at Cheltenham was impressive.

    There’s no way I can leave him, and happy to have him on side.

    Hopefully still get a few quid back from Ten Ten before the off, which was always the plan, and that would probably go the way of Champagne Classic and/or Off You Go.

    Ten Ten 25’s
    Tiger Roll 9’s

    There are three that I like here, and I don’t mind splitting the three of them. I don’t mind betting them just now, but hopefully they will all line up.
    The big dog 14-1
    Brahma Bull 25-1
    Discordantly 25-1

    Maybe the last two I will bet on ew on the day, but that’s the three I’m going with just now.

    It’s not an approach that I’m too keen on, but I cashed out a small part of my Sempo bet. Even as a backer I didn’t expect him to be this low.

    I’ve used that cash to cover Court Maid at 20-1, who looks to have been kept for this.

    9 have come out I think. Still 60 left in. Of the more fancied ones, Longhouse Poet and Galvin are out.

    Agusta Gold 12/1 my first bet here.

    It’s good news for me that Saturnas hasn’t been declared, and it means I can focus on others. The market support for Discorama and The Jam Man is interesting, but I will just wait until Friday now for any more.

    Not good news with weights gone up. Coko Beach has a 7lb claimer on which might help a bit.

    Latest exhibition left in

    Be interesting to see what prices are available once they go back up

    Id say having Gainford on Coko Beach was your best hope Mike

    This looks a belting race, as good if not better than the English version

    It has certainly a better calibre of horse in it this year than Aintree has.

    Not debating which National is a more prestigious race.

    Not a better calibre of horse than Aintree. Top weight in this is a relatively lowly 153.

    Oh yeah on English handicap marks we will solve everything :yes:

    Just my view, much more intriguing race with novices with much more upside than the “higher rated” ones in the UK version…..

    A handicap including a bunch of unexposed novices which makes it interesting, yes I agree with that.

    If cloth cap and latest exhibition had a match race id wager that the ratings of those two horses are actually the wrong way round

    Added latest exhibition at 7/1

    Imo Cloth Cap would beat Latest Exhibition in a good ground level weights match over, say, 3 miles 4, at this stage in their careers. In a handicap match up I’m not so sure, coz I’m wondering if 162 was a slight over- reaction from the handicapper for last time and maybe 158 is nearer the mark, which would then make him more vulnerable against Latest Exhibition giving him 9 lbs.

    Was not going to bother, but Roaring Bull EW @ 117/1 Boosted at Billies. Not sure exactly what the places are like, says 1/4 the odds so must be 4.
