2022 Grand National

Chris's dream taken out, Chatham street lad too and Highland Hunter injured and out. Also Go Another one scratched .
73 left in and Poker Party the last one guaranteed at the moment.
 
They should pull Samcro or Battleoverdoyan who have no chance of staying to get Death Duty into the race who needs one to come out it seems.
 
Are 6 places the best we will get on the day? Skybet often have 7 in 18+ runner handicaps on a Saturday, but I suppose there is less enticement needed for the National. Can anyone remember what they did last year?

Boylesports were the only bookie to go 7 places last year, most others went 6 places. 365 and hills only 5 places.
 
….Aintree weather update; cold and wet night continuing into this morning. Not pouring but there’s rain in the air. It’s grey & not very nice out there.

Thanks. As a Longhouse Poet fan I’ll take the 16s now as I suspect he will be shorter on the day

Backed a couple so far, Commodore 40/1 & Deise Aba 66/1, obviously both E/W. Have a few more I will jump on too at some point. May just wait for final decs now though. Hoping at least one bookmaker goes more than 6 places!
 
I love Commodore but unlikely to get in?

I wonder if 365 will do the usual e/w offer. Kind of waiting for that before putting anything on

A few year ago before they started trying with racing again, pretty sure Hill only paid 4 places cos I emailed them drunk and told them to close my account because they were a bunch of jokers.

Sure there must have been an algorithm smirking when i came crawling back

I would guess Sky will go extra places so they don't have to pay the SP!

EDIT: Think they are claiming it already with the 6 instead of 4! They went 6 last year aswell.

Gordon now has all 9 of his National entries jocked up - including Death Duty (Jordan Gainford) at 41 - according to the RP.

Looks to me as though they will run the lot which would also make it less likely that leading light-weights Eclair Surf and Commodore get in.

They're presumably thinking something else may opt out on Thursday giving Death Duty a run. If that doesn't happen they can always pull one of their lesser lights at the 11th hour to get him in.

Same here bud. I believe it went up late weds evening last year (early hours of Thurs morning) so hoping for the same before I get stuck in

Yeah, seem to remember reading bets were valid from Thursday last year so hopefully go up early hours of Thursday morning.

Battleoverdoyen going for Topham so Death Duty will run in the GN

Good news. Just 2 now required for Eclair Surf to get in........

Going to be tight for him to get in now… potentially WPM splits the RR horses but can’t see another who is easily identifiable that will come out
 
Looking likely to be another Secret Reprieve from last year with Eclair Surf
 
William Hill have went from 5 places to 6 places now on the National
