There was plenty of love for Morning assembly and Goonyella on the final furlong pod

I've got a battalion running for me tomorrow. In order of preference, they are:
Gallant Oscar
Goonyella
Onenightinvienna
Traded the following for free bets:
Triolo Dalene
On His Own
Buywise
Ucello Conti
Vieux Lion Rouge
I haven't had the national winner since Silver Birch so I'm not holding out much hope.

Fahy was delighted with the weight after it was announced and Russell seemed happy to committ early rather than wait to see which Cooper picked too.
Rule the World is also on my radar. 2nd in an Irish and 3rd in a Kerry National in the last year and may improve for the longer trip.

Rule The World never came near my radar I have to say.
Davy had Morning Assembly clear of trouble out wide and travelling as well as any horse I've seen over staying trips then he suddenly emptied at the second last.
Yet another head scratching National for me....

Isty, do you not think he took him too wide? There's staying out of trouble but he had him running the other side of Liverpool.
He must have covered a load more ground.
Considering how well he run I wonder if DR could run the race again whether he do it differently?
Morning Assembly is one to consider if he lines up again next year.

It could be he was searching better ground too....

Just seen this quote from Davy Russell
Davy Russell (Morning Assembly, eighth)
"I got a great ride. He jumped so well, he got me in a false position after the third last. I was trying to fill him up but it just wasn't to be. He didn't really see out the trip but it was the best spin I got over the fences. I moved him out to get a clear view. He wasn't jumping as well behind horses and when I moved him out he pricked his ears and was winging fences."
