Added Ms Parfois 33/1 and Blow by Blow 66/1, both nrnb.
 
Hi gang,
Well the weights are out let battle commence
 
1st bet
General Principle to win 25/1 NRNB

Going to aim for 4-5U on him but with Cheltenham still to come it will be bit by bit

Hurricane fly,
Think GENERAL PRINCIPLE will need the ground to be deep to stance a chance of being competitive
 
Hi gang,
Over the moon with weights of GO CONQUER and BALYOPTIC,both horses should be in the mix at the business end
Anybody got any views.....
 
Hi gang,
Thought TIGER ROLL would of been top weight,but I think GORDON ELLIOTT will be happy

I'm starting to wonder if BDM can win off top weight. A flat track, decent ground and fences shouldnt pose a problem. The handicapper has knocked him down a few lb, hasn't he?

Partly why I’ve gone NRNB but I was also really encouraged with his run at the weekend behind Dounikos

He's 'technically' well-in, with the condensed handicap isn't he....

then again, I suppose that depends on whether you give his OR the full belief or not...
 
Bolger said on Wednesday: “We want to let ante-post punters know that Auvergnat will be taken out of the Grand National at the next available stage. “I find it puzzling how wrongly handicapped he is compared to the other Irish horses.”
 
The 4 I like initially are (in this order)

Ms Parfois
Jury Duty
Ramses De Teillee

I’m very happy when you think in his conditionals in the cross country he’s carrying 11-4 all the time and still winning XC in heavy ground that he hates. Hoping for a good to soft Aintree to give him his best chance. I think this horse has got a cracking chance.


Tiger Roll is a horse of a generation we just don’t know it yet!!

Just a quick question will Davy ride you think or KOD? Mid point of writing this I checked KOD weight on each of his rides in last 2 years and lowest he’s been is 11’3 once his average is around 11’5. So it’s going be touch and go - part of me wants him to have his day but the other is that Davy and tiger did what they did last year. Keith will have to be the lowest he’s ever been but if the top weight pulls out it may condense and Keith could get the ride

Surely Davy will be given the ride again. He gave Tiger Roll a peach last year so he'll get the gig again. There are none better than Davy imo.

You would think so. I know they’ll be after him for Mall Dini who I like too
