Am with you, Charles on Art Mauresque. He ran well against Waiting Patiently then young Cobden made a bit too much use of him giving him little chance of seeing out the 3 miles next time. Two years since he tried soft ground and I think he might well go on it (won in France on very soft). Scholfield back in the plate (has ridden him in all 6 UK wins).
Bet365 go 18/1 6 places a quarter and I’ve taken that.
Polidam 12/1 & Highland Lodge 14/1 & Rathlin Rose 33/1 all EW are the ones for me. Polidam is a bit of unknown, but he could be well handicapped. Highland Lodge is a proven jumper and on a lower mark then his recent placings at Aintree. I think the trip shouldn’t really be an issue. Finally Rathlin Rose is having a fantastic season, but isn’t really punished by the handicapper. Could go well too.
Art Mauresque win at 20s and Rathlin Rose EW at around 40s, that’s what I go with.
Good luck!
With Art Mauresque and Highland Lodge both out I have replaced those two with a couple of e/w naps (5 places) with Bet365.
DEAVILLE DANCER (80/1) – He’s fresh and fit now after a spin round Kempton after a winter break. He was too progressive back in the Autumn to be this big a price.
BIGBADJOHN (20/1) – If he’s in as good form as last time I can see him going close if he takes to the fences. I liked him as a novice but he seemed to lose his way and maybe the change of scenery has done him the world of good.
I backed Deauville Dancer earlier this season, but I have watched last year’s National a few times in the last week or so, noting that Rogue Angel was superb for the first 3+ miles of that race last season.
Rachael Blackmore is great, so a good performance today could set her up for even more media interest tomorrow. I’ve had a small bet each-way.
Deauville Dancer for me also Charles. I remember this time last year Greenasgrass had a massive winner with Ultragold + he will do for me, but not at last years price.
Jaysus, that is good work Lemons, well played mate hard to call the front two in that race
Great stuff Lemons, now get that bloody DLAP thread up and running properly FFS lol
