    My early bet here is Caribean Boy at 16-1. I want to bet Farclas, but I will wait and see if he is declared.

    At this moment in time, I’m with two outsiders. Three Musketeers at 25-1, and Templepark 33-1, and both of the new at those prices.

    If either are absent, I will go with Fan De Blues, which is probably a more sensible option than the two I’ve actually bet.

    I Heard Tizzard Jnr say that LIT won’t run here now. Only likely further run this season will be at Sandown. They are still at a loss apparently to explain his performances this season.

    I think the Betfair Chase win over Bristol De Mai left its mark on Lostintranslation. Since then, the only good race he has run was in last season’s Gold Cup – which was a slowly run race and does not look like the best of renewals now.

    I think Caribean Boy is a very big price here. I’ve taken 14-1. I’ve not had many bets this NH season, but I do like this horse, so I’ve had a little bit more than usual.

    If Kauto Riko doesn’t get into The National field, I will bet him too

    Mr Patrick Mullins jocked up on Livelovelaugh… bit of a choker I’ll be honest having taken the early prices.

    I had Cassia Heights 2004 and Cregg House 2005 at fancy odds but nothing since in this race. I have more than half the field within 10 pounds on recent form so it really comes down to those whose jumping holds together with a likely fast pace and in the big field.

    Lust For Glory 171
    Magic Saint 169
    Modus 169

    Caribean Boy 168
    My Way 167
    Robin Des Foret 166

    Happy to take the top three against the field at Betfair SP. Top rated hasn’t set the world alight in a handful of attempts with double figures fields over jumps, but does have Sam Waley-Cohen aboard which helps around Aintree. The other two represent a bit of a class in a race where I would hope weight won’t be too much of issue on near good ground.

    Been disappointing but ill be giving dunvegan another punt @25s and glen forsa @50s

    The fact LLL is fav of any race atall nvm something as competitive as this, is enough for me to look down the bottom, would love old outlander to run well but wont be backing him, might be 13, but 35lbs down from his peak now, hopefully he can pick up one more race at some point before hes retired presumably very shortly.

    Ham, I bet Outlander last time, and he wasn’t that bad. I’m adding him and fellow rag Relentless Dreamer. Probably name my price the pair of them.

    I’m probably going to lay my stake off on Livelovelaugh, definitely if he goes shorter.

    There,s been plenty of money for visioman so glad I get 20-1 at the start of the week , I’m going in on Glen Forsa e.w to , there,s no doubt he,s been disappointing but I still can’t forget how good he looked a few years back , at the price I’ll take another punt

    Pleased with my Huntsman Son bet, but can’t go single handed in this so I’ll be looking at the top and tail of the handicap with Ibleo and Sir Jack Yeats. The former is a classy type who will be suited by this test and while I’ve missed all the big prices about the latter; his runs in the Foxhunters and Sefton offer plenty of encouragement.

    They’ll be my three.

    I’m happy with my 33/1 on Snugsborough Hall, now that he’s subject of some good support.

    I’m less happy with having waited for Caribean Boy. I have taken the 8/1, but he was double that when I was considering him.

    I’ll rely on those two.

    I also think that Snugsborough Hall can perform here on spring ground.

    I too will have a bet on Snugsborough Hall.

    There’s a fair amount indicating that he could run a big one + UK handicapper hasn’t done much to his mark. LLL had a recent run before his good effort the last time whereas, SH was running for the first time since Xmas.

    I really haven’t a clue what to make of Dunvegan??!?

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