Sorry, but couldn’t find a thread.
These are my bets. All ew and 6 places.

1/ Vintage Clouds
2/ Lake View Lad
3/ One for Arthur
4/ General Principle

And my ‘fun’ bet; Warriors Tale.
Good luck
 
I backed one last year it got disqualified?? Somebody threw a tin of meat at it!!! The jockey said it got hampered:)
 
Mall dini at 25's to win, been prepared just for this
Spirit of Aran ew, it's a great jumper which is needed round aintree
 
Shortest price fav in a hundred years. It should be that price for a top 4 place.
Think the bookies will shorten it with mug money until near the off then lengthen it for last 15 min.
As you probably know many previous winners looked likely to follow up next year but failed.

To be fair none of them looked as likely as TR, its Boyne hurdle and Cross Country runs put it well in on its Grand National mark. Should be more like 7/1 imo.

You're right but West Tip, Hedgehunter and Many Clouds were all fav or close to it.

Many Clouds hadn't improved Hedgehunter 2nd in poor gold cup was decent but not much of an improvement whereas Tiger Roll has stepped up to another level, West tip was before my time.
 
In a straight race Tiger Roll will win but with so many imponderables, fences, horses falling etc 7/2 is a shit price.

Had a little bit on Jury Duty @ 25's Ew & may cover Anibale Fly on the day.
Yeah. Totally agree about TigerRoll, but not at 7/2 though probably be 5s on the day. I also had Jury Duty AND Anibale Fly on my shortlist!
Good luck

Ill guarantee that baldy fred will push it out on one of his boost on Saturday Morning, 6/1 i reckon.

He did it for Auxerre in the Lincoln last Saturday, 5/1 from 3/1 and it shit in. He loves pushing these favs out for the big races.
 
Tiger Roll should fair well with a clear run but pants for value so as this is the National I shall plump an each way wager on Joe Farell who with good ground should run well.Rathvinden is also deserved of support.

Weight killed their chance of following up really, the weights nowadays are a lot more compressed, giving a true class horse a better chance.

Know what you mean mate.
I never actually said that TR won’t win or that he shouldn’t go off clear fav just that the bookies will shorten him up to something stupid on the day.
 
Rock the Kasbah

Was tempted by One For Arthur as I backed it in 2017 but surely it can't win again
