Scottish National 2019

[Venture to Cognac]

Still looking ominous on Betfair Peter, and I’ve covered him for The Novice Chase on Saturday, just in case.

Geronimo still a massive fancy, and I’ve missed the 33’s. I’m as well waiting now, he surely can’t go that much lower than 16’s once declared.

[peter .h]

Yeah he’s drifted everywhere which doesn’t bode well. I wouldn’t want him opposing Molly The Dolly in the J & D, so I have everything crossed!

[peter .h]

Well it’s official now. I’ll replace him with Carole’s Destrier and that’ll be me.

[buckers]

Racingorchid, I’m in the same boat. I have to follow Vintage Clouds again + I’m happy with 10-1.

I also like Takingrisks. 28-1 with Paddy Power who are paying 6 Places looks worth adding, but I also like Brian Boranha 20-1 with the same places each way.

I will only bet one of that pair each way, as like Vintage Clouds, I will be betting another one win onlya. Blue Fight looks a very big price at 25-1, so I have went with him as well.

[Racingorchid]

Have also gone in again at the 10/1 VC and have added Cogry 25/1 ew 6 places , was second to Vicente in this in 2017

[KevMc]

Second pick –

Sizing Codelco 50/1

Badly out of form last few seasons, but he’s got his conditions here and at the price i couldn’t leave him alone with Cobden up. Tizzards now in good form also and think he’s been aimed at this all season.

[Venture to Cognac]

Good luck with him Kev.

Finally added Geronimo, and that’ll do me.

Dingo Dollar 14’s
Geronimo 16’s
Sizing Codelco 50’s EW 6 Places

[Mike007]

My picks ew are…

Vintage Clouds 16s
Dingo Dollar 14s
Crosshue Boy 12s 5 places
Brian Boranha 25s 5 places

[Steeplechasing]

EW to 6 places:

Crosspark. 14/1

Beware The Bear. 11/1

Arthur’s Gift. 50/1

[DBRDBR]

I’ve gone for:

Red Infantry 33/1 EW
Takingrisks 28/1 EW

I like Takingrisks form with Vintage Clouds and Lake View Lad. He does like a real stayer. Red Infantry dropped a few pounds, but has proven himself over this trip and should have a decent EW shot.

[fivelongdays]

So my ew three against the field are

Crosspark
Chidswell
Brian Borhana.

Keep in mind I’ve never backed the winner of this race!

BlueSky @pghenn.bsky.social

So don't run, just like the others always do

[raymo61]

My three in this are

BLUE FLIGHT at 33/1
GERONIMO at 16/1
SIZING CODELCO 50/1

This looks proper tricky

[Coneycard]

Can get ~75s on Sizing Codelco with a Billy Hill boost, so have have played him along with Cogry (a horse I always seem to be on the wrong side of) at 28s, Geronimo 14s and Cloth cap 12s. All EW 6 places.

[viktors89]

One of the hardest races I remember to sort out for me. I will have 4 at small stakes:
Impulsive Star at 18s
Blue Flight at 40s
Childswell at 25s

Big River in the exchanges at 18s live (taking the risk it goes unmatched but I believe he will rally so the odds should increase while live)

[He Didnt Like Ground]

Stuck some more on dingo dollar , I’ve also played sizing codello e.w , Geronimo and at the bottom of the handicap doing fine , Sean Bowen up , wind up and 4th last year ….reckon he,ll go close

[Autumnal]

I’m happy to have got a nice price on Crosshue Boy, but it’s a race where I would like a backup.

Nigel Twiston Davies is a trainer who I often get wrong, but his Blue Flight at 40-1, is my second selection. I have also bet him at 33-1, with 6 Places each way.

[peter .h]

I’ve had to add Chidswell at 25’s. Difficult to forget how well he won the Grimphorpe; a race I like to look at with a view to this.

Also had to top up on Carole’s Destrier and Big River who both drifted overnight.
