£15ew Ballabriggs 14/1 (won me a grand last year so gotta stick with him)
£15ew Shakalakaboomboom 16/1

Plus £5ew on Planet of sound for the missus at 28/1

I've backed both Ballabriggs and Shakalakaboomboom but haven't heard much about Chicago Grey, any particular reason why you've backed him?

I would love to say it's because I have super knowledge of horse racing but I would be lying. Just from what I've read over the past week or so, he seems to be well fancied by people superior to me.

Gordon Elliot has prepped him with this in mind all season.Paul Carberry is an able jockey, he's a proficient jumper,and stays longer than the mother in law,but ideally wants firm going.

Just had a look at some forums and it seems that you're right.

Ah.. bollucks to it.

I've stuck a tenner on him. Cheers for the tip, lads!

Got him in the sweep at work.
Chicago Grey is on my shortlist, as is Junior and Ballabriggs again.
Killyglen, Always Right and Treacle are three that not many are talking about but which shouldn't be overlooked

Doesn't one of the guys who owns Junior post on here???

What's he said about his chances???

 

[bernabias home shirt]

West end rocker 17/1
Killyglen 20/1

Think these will run well in the national.
