Good post GT, when you look a trends you have to take account of horses who have LOST as well as won.
I would just like to thank Ginge on behalf of the forum for publishing these. Top work!

Dont get me wrong i love the way synchronized moves but after watching the welsh national about four times now, im really not sure if he can handle the aintree fences . Chepstow is one thing but aintree national fences is a completely different prospect . The jury is out on this at the moment.
Fair along ran a good trial yesterday, stayed on strongly and was infront after the post, the first 2 were out on there feet and he look as fresh as paint unsaddling. Bit small for the national but really tries over fences and is quite clever when he gets one wrong
Fair Along has also got an entry in the Nakayama Grand Jump 7 days later on April 16th. It will be interesting to see where they go with the horse, but personally I would head to Japan – I think the 2m 5f round Nakayama would suit the horse better than 4 1/2 miles round Aintree, and the prize money is better in Japan of course.
