    Elvis Mail hacked up last time in his first attempt at 26f, and I’m backing him EW at 18/1 to 6 places. For some reason Paddy Power offer almost twice the price everyone else does in going 28/1 about Sandy’s horse Flower Of Scotland and I’ve backed him too EW to 6 places.

    Good luck all

    I was expecting Kitty’s Light to be around the 3/1 mark so I’ll have a piece of 5/1 7 places. How many times do you see the runner up of a race one year go on to win in the next? The answer is some….times.

    Thrown in Magna Sam @ 14’s as he may improve on his last time out Edinburgh national win after transferring to Mr. Ralph’s yard.

    Dusart for me here. I think his step up in trip will really suit him. Ground should be fine as well and he won here last at this meeting. Too big a price for me.

    Dusart 25/1 EW

    Keeping the faith with Malina Girl- drifting and ran a career best only 21 days ago, so you’d have to be slightly concerned for this marathon trip. However, she’s still unexposed in my book, good ground will help and she won really well last time. Trusting Cromwell’s judgement on her well-being. Sean Flanagan will be riding this with a point to prove after Vanillier.

    The other, and the main one is Famous Bridge. Trainer good in this type of race, he’s unexposed and clearly by the trainer’s remarks, he’s very well in.

    Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!

    Magna Sam wont be wanting for stamina having won the Edinburgh National last time
    out, the only worry is the possibility he could bounce after a year off before
    Musselburgh. As long as he doesn’t he looks decent value.

    Magna Sam 20/1 6 places Bet365

    Jonjo has just said in ITV interview, before the Scottish Champ Hurdle, that Monbeg is doubtful for the National.

    Ground has got firm in places – he said MG is only 50/50 to run later.

    “Monbeg Genius is NOT running today.”

    Comes as no surprise to me.

    Plenty of my early shortlist made it, and still really keen on Flash Collonges and Famous Bridge (NR)in particular, while still think that Mighty Thunder should make the frame. He’s a fraction of the price I hoped for, and in a race where I’ll have enough on, I’ll leave him.

    In the end, went with Coopers Cross. I really liked the way Coopers travelled at Doncaster, and it was a similar story at Aintree last week. Credited with a fall, when he was actually hampered and knocked over. I think he’d have won. On my radar for Aintree next year, and if over that race, I think he can surprise here.

    I’ll bet Empire Ste in running if need be


    1535 Coopers Cross 22’s EW 7pls/33’s

    There’s been attempt to disrupt the race but police have dealt with it.
