2019 Grand National

Abolitionist the latest absentee.

I think number 50 will get a run, possibly even Joe Farrell at 53.
 
No point in doing anything until after Monday's confirmation stage.
 
If they're NRNB, why would they change on Monday? A waste of good drinking time.

True. In fairness most will be a bigger price on the Saturday morning when enhanced places will be on offer too.

I'm just spending the week trading a few on the exchanges.
 
I like Jury Dury

Like him myself too lads, he has a nice profile, has solid graded form, slight worry over his stamina but maybe a combination of very soft ground and immaturity was a factor in him not getting the trip in the NHC last year.

I know the Punchestown 3m novice chase fell to pieces over the last few furlongs but Monbeg Notorious & Jury Duty finishing 2nd & 3rd is good form in my book.

Where would you score Joe Farrell? May just squeeze in.
 
Or their intention was to damage the Hurdles course but they couldn't tell the difference.


Bit of a cheap shot that one!

Sadly I think he'll just miss out but he will have a bigger chance of doubling up in the Scottish equivalent.
 
G.Elliott saying Shattered love, the storyteller , Alpha des obeaux won't run , Mala beach needs rain .
The rest to run , could have 12 runners.
 
Warriors Tale likely to go for the Topham instead of this, according to PFN.
 
I’ve lost quite a bit of money backing David Pipe again this year but after Ascot yesterday I think he may have turned the corner yesterday and is now finally in form this season. He has quite a few placed horses over the past few weeks in decent handicaps but now he’s turning out winners. I had RDT ante post but just stuck a point e/won VLR at 40’s, he came 9th last year, has some very good form at Aintree, recently had a wind op and will probably be near the foot of the weights. There’s a lot to like about him
