I like the rating bit cookie but the last time an 8 year old won was 2002 and 12yr old just gets in - in 2004.
it's like the stats are put before us to suit there needs.

like i said i will look at the rating bit along with other bits on my stats post LOL

Im not into teaforthree at all yes its a decent horse but ive never come across nor can think of a horse that has been placed in the national then go onto win it, horses have won it then been placed but not vice versa unless someone else knows different, plenty of rain forecast this week so ground should be perfect chasing ground of good to soft

Hallo Dandy.
4th the first time then won it the year after.

L'escargot - 3rd 1973, 2nd 1974, WON 1975
Amberleigh House - 3rd 2003, WON 2004.

Same bet I have every year. 2 horses to be put down.

Ban it. Horse murdering bastards.

Bastards.

I normally back 2 horses in the national, one from amongst the favourites and an each way outsider. Either last year or the one before that the 2 that I'd backed were both killed during the race!

I can't back Teaforthree at the current price. Especially as the value disappeared when Pricewise & Hugh Taylor tipped it at 25/1.

I backed a couple antepost, possibly with a view to trade.

Colbert Station 109/1 (McCoy may ride it).
Double Seven 33/1 (As above).
Mountainous 169/1 (Probably only run on soft ground).
Long Run 20/1 (No course form, but Henderson has been bullish).

Someone mention Balthazar King earlier. Watched a re-run of 2013 and it ran a cracker last year before fading on the 2nd circuit.

battle group 50/1 absolute rogue of a horse but loves it round aintree, if it jumps off could run well at a huge price. Think long run will run well but 14/1 is short enough. Baltazhar King is a cracking horse but if ground turns soft wouldnt be backing it. The real interesting one in the market is Prince de Beauchene, missed out last 2 years when ante post favourite, if it turns up this yr 20/1 could be a tasty price.

Then why not start an animal rights thread if you feel that strongly about it, rather than ruin one dedicated to folk's tips for the race instead?
Maybe that boring plastic Sherman who is unable to take a shit without asking Morrissey which toilet paper he should use to wipe his arse afterwards could assist.
