I think Minella Rocco will end up with top weight
I had already backed (at tiny stakes)
Tiger Roll - 70.0
Rogue Angel - 460.0
UTPT - 60.0 - dead already
I’ve added:
Bellshill - 55.0
Cogry - 450
Abolitisionist - 40s
Hoping Morning Assembly will be matched
All tiny darts between £2-£5 but the potential for a couple of Quid I’d never remember about to spring a nice surprise

Has anyone ever looked at whether competing in cross country is a positive or negative for the national? I know CoC and Balthazar King have had two very different experiences but i fancied both!

Silver Birch was runner up in Cross Country before winning the GN but not sure about any others.
They barely break out of a canter for 3 miles so the Cross Country isn't a hard race for the horses and they can then follow up at Aintree. That's just my opinion though, and the stats may not back that up.

It's a while since I've seen a horse go from travelling really well to stopped as quickly as WWW did yesterday, glad Heskin pulled him up when he was clearly distressed. That race will have taken it's toll I reckon on Blacklion, plenty of time till the GN but it could well have left it's mark, needed a stepladder to get over the last
