Come on then who we going for? Going for an outside shot Vicente (46-1) best price at the moment.

Good luck all.

I’d been waiting to back Minella Rocco all year, ended up top weight which I didn’t want, especially on bad ground.

Non runner. That will give them a year to get that handicap mark down ready for 2019. If it gets to run in it off around 11st it will have a right chance.

I'm usually all over one for the National but this year don't really fancy anything much.
Will have a bit on Seeyouatmidmight and Shantou Flyer.

It’s a class horse but didn’t stay last year which would put me off.

Tiger Roll or I Just Know. Still undecided.

Still can't decide so split my stake between them. Also had a silly e/w bet on Pendra

True but the wind op has supposed to have helped with that, the bigger worry is the weight he’s carrying given the soft ground because of that I’m taking a punt on Milansbar as an outside bet.

Just seen the result (modifications to the fences have totally ruined this race over the years ) Irish horses finished 1-2-3-4- some of you might think this is a good result for Ireland but it's actually a long term total disaster for Irish runners . The british handicapper is going to slaughter the irish runners for the next decade

The Irish horses have been a little bit harshly treated over here at Aintree and Cheltenham over the last few years. There were a lot of horses treated very well at Cheltenham this year and it looks like it carried on to Aintree. I was on Road to Ritches, 50 EW at 66 first 5 places. Finished 6th. Typical.
