| Not a clue this year. More inclined to back a jockey as opposed to a horse.

| Three bets stand out to me on the other non-National races.
Starluck in the 4yo Hurdle
Agus A Vic in the Foxhunters Chase
Fiveforthree in the Aintree Hurdle.
Already backed State of Play (43/1), Southern Vic (37/1) and Musica Bella (200's+) for the National itself.

| For anyone that watched the Harlequins-Hull game, I think it was obvious who Martin Offiah's got his money on!
Currently 14/1

Im on Southern Vic too but only 25s though. Also backed Chelsea Harbour ages ago but think its run too much since then.
Agree re Agus A Vic and Fiveforthree, although i'd be against Starluck and will back Hebridean if it runs.
This meeting doesnt always follow the order of things from Cheltenham as i recall so could be some decent value out there.

| Not decided concrete on the National yet ..
Got Irish Invader last Monday at 50/1 - Now 20/1.
Also like the look of Can't Buy Time, will probably bet on him on Saturday.

| Looking forward to this, The Grand National is obviously not a race for the serious punter so i just have a few over-priced E/W's, its the other races that interest me more.
Ideal Weight for the National = Under 11 stone.
Ideal age for the National = 9.
Always back a horse that has finished 1st or 2nd in it's last race.
Offshore Account 40/1.
Ping pong sivola looked quite impressive at Cheltenham and if it shows that form again should go close in the topham @ 6s.
Ill be back on here on the day of the races when we know exactly what's running.

| Not sure how you come to the conclusion that 9 is the magic age for a horse in the Grand National.
Only 5 of the last 19 winners have been 9.
You could never be sure which Black Apalachi would turn up, but the horse has improved so much since moving yards this season. Has run well this season and has got a run over hurdles under his belt.
I think i will have a bet on him on the day.

has the right qualities by winning the becher chase over the national fences earlier this season but may need softer ground. saw this horse come 2nd in a bumper to future cheltenham festival winner l'antartique at listowel in ireland in 2004 (i think)

Not saying it's the magic age but 9 year old have been most successful.
www.freebetonthenational.com/cat ... n-average/
"Nine-year-olds have proved the most successful age group in recent years, providing eight of the last 28 winners of the John Smith’s Grand National. Nine-year-old scorers in that period have been Lucius (197icon_cool.gif, Grittar (1982), West Tip (1986), Rhyme ‘N’ Reason (198icon_cool.gif, Lord Gyllene (1997), Bobbyjo (1999), Papillon (2000) and 2005 hero Hedgehunter".

| Fancy Al Eile in the Aintree Hurdle on Saturday.
Was given the tip by an Irish Bloke on the train to the course last year and ignored it ... Won!
Won't be ignoring it this time round.

Yeah Just Seen That On Now!...
I Think One I Have To Go With Is My Will Due To The Ruby Walsh Factor If Anything...
Probably Have A Dabble On Offshore Account And Maybe Cornish Sett With Fundamentalist Aswell...
My Top 4 Selections:
1. My Will
2. Offshore Account
3. Cornish Sett
4. Fundamentalist

| @ War Of Attrition
That was one of the most ridiculous "gambles" I have ever seen. I would have happily taken the liabilities on people wanting to back it over the past fortnight.

| The National is a waste of time and not a race I will never have a serious bet in. I had Comply or Die last year but only made a small profit due to having savers on 3 others

not a waste of time. ok the race is for the mug punter like myself but the spectacle of seeing 40 horses jumping the big fences is 1 of the best in sport. hope all horses and jockeys come back safe

| It's easy enough to narrow it down to a few serious contenders.
Rule out the following:
Horses who have fallen or unseated this season
Horses aged 6 or those aged 12 and over
Those who have completed in previous Nationals
Positives: Form over the National fences.

Yeah you are right, waste of time from a punting view (unless you follow CP's guide ) but reasonable entertainment I suppose.
