2023 Grand National

Am I mad for thinking The Big Breakaway has a lovely profile for this?

Well off the pace looking at the race this year, but he hits near enough every trend you want?

I was convinced enough to drive half an hour through major roadworks to my nearest Hills shop to snap up the 50s.
Not sure he has the perfect profile but I loved his Welsh National run, kept trying right to the line.
Concern would be the ground as he'll need some cut, looks to be some rain around over next 10 days but at this time of year when the sun comes out and temperatures hit teens the ground can dry quickly.
50/1 has to be OK though...
 
Slightly wrong topic but anyone know if Chemical Energy is an intended runner in the Irish National?

He’s not amongst the 6 Elliott spoke of going to Aintree so I’d say it may be ground dependent now.

Currently soft/heavy at Fairyhouse.

….Percussion looks like he needs plenty come out but if he gets in he’s a decent price for the Topham @ 33-1 with 365. For some reason, 365 market for the race isn’t on Oddschecker & Percussion is best price 20-1 elsewhere. Came 3rd in Beecher with some decent types behind
 
Have Cheltenham runners struggled today at Fairyhouse or is it just the ones I've backed and my drunk state?

Mostly a big minus for the Cheltenham runners, although Dinoblue won. He was gifted the race though when the leader fell at the last. Another clear example of the Mullins strength in depth. Expect similar at Punchestown.
 
Never get too involved at Fairyhouse, learned the hard way for many years but always like a few darts at the Grand National.

Three against the field tomorrow…

Angels Dawn e/w 20/1
Amirite e/w 33/1
Must Be Obeyed e/w 50/1
 
….I’m not too far from Aintree & we’ve got really heavy rain this morning.
 
Just realised I cashed a GDM 50/1 voucher in Feb, so that's a day ruiner


Anyone know when the 365 offer comes in? Is it usually on the day or before? Don't want to risk DW shortening but the offer allows me to put more on so in 2 minds

Fairly sure it's usually Thursday. After decs.
 
I doubt that anyone needs reminding but the market usually goes against punters early for the big race, best value (lowest over round) likely to exist late Thursday when markets switch from ante post to late Friday, chances are by the time Saturday morning comes around many prices will have gone.
Worth reminding family/friends of this too, if you like a 50/1 shot then you want paying on a 50/1 shot, not 18/1 because the scum bookies want to rinse everyone…

….bad weather forecast but it’s been a lovely sunny & breezy morning here in Liverpool. Another few hours before the rain comes in might help dry things after yesterdays deluge.
 
I live just behind the course, not much rain today so far just a few light showers
