Theatre Of War number 22 I think, Tronador will need a few more taken out

I might be wrong CoD but by my reckoning the cut comes on 10st 12lbs at the moment. Three horses are on that mark - Theatre of War, Repetitio and Goa Lil - and only one of them is guaranteed to get in. But I imagine it's a cert that a couple more will drop out on the final decs.
 
Racenews Twitter has said Fujimoto Flyer still in this race. I expect they’ve made the error, however May need double checking.
 
Speaking to connections at the weekend its likely that F Flyer will go to the Triumph and hope to pick up some prize money if the Triumph looks like being a small ish figures.

How is this decided then? Any ideas? Probably end up balloted out now, but I expect at least one or two to drop out still.

I was wondering the same thing - it often happens in the Grand National.

Its odd that the 3 horses on 10-12 are not in alphabetical order. I wonder if the pecking order is already decided?
 
Handicapper reassesses the level weights horses in the GN but for some reason think it might be lots here.
 
No Tremwedge either which is a shame.

....Nigel Hawke re Repetitio;

“I think he’s very much up to it. It’s taking a risk but over the last few years horses off 130 have nearly always got a run. With a mark of 130 we didn’t want to expose it. If he’d gone and won next time, he’d be up to high-130’s or 140.”

Clearly saved for this, fingers crossed it gets in.

I said it before the Adonis, King has form at protecting a horses maiden tag so he was probably a non trier at Kempton and will either be looked away for a late Spring campaign or held over until next season, either way I wouldn't be surprised if the horse retains his novice status for next season...
