Anyone want to give any tips ? Someone told me "HedgeHunter" is a dead cert put the morgage on it, what do you think Ghostie currently 10/1, then again a certain B&A user told me Doyen would set the world alight

Without having fully done the form, I have reasons NOT to back them all, except "It Takes Time" 28/1 and "Fondmort" 50/1. But I will report back when I've completed my homework ;D

My moneys on Forest Gunner... My thoughts are with you Stutty. She is the worst jockey in the race by a mile I know The Riverside is very keen on it too, and if anyone else but her was riding it, i'd have to agree with him.

Think I'll have to lay my 35/1 then. Guess it'll be 30 quid instead of 700 quid flying back to the FishTank

Anyone want to give any tips ? Avoid eating peanuts during the race, a loud cheer followed by a sharp intake of breath can result in one of the blighters getting lodged in your wind pipe.

Worrying odds there I see you can get your money on for Chelters '06 already. Hardy Eustace only at 5/1 for the Smurift a year up front! Absurd!

With a lot of rain forcast from now till Saturday and the going already Good to Soft it maybe an idea to have a look at Colnel Rayburn who wants it soft.
Well handicaped 10/7, and worth £10 e/w

Probably one horse to be shot after falling at one of the fences. Tip: Don't bet and save a life.

Well handicaped 10/7, and worth £10 e/w I was going to ask you why one of Irelands top jockeys had chosen Colnel Rayburn ahead of Montys Pass who he was asked to ride You're getting warmer ;D

Did Forest Gunner take on the appearance of a Scout Walker under assault from Ewoks, that might clarify things a little

It worried me that I'm getting a bit obsessed with the nags Reg ;D Even my daughter loves watching Attheraces (although she doesn't have much choice ) and the live Greyhounds. I'm in the process of teaching her to boo whenever Newbon appears on screen my 2 to Monmore recently, and they could not fathom where the rabbit kept disappearing to after the races Mind you, it was their first time, some of them bloody hounds are chasing it for the 300th time

I've still a lot of homework to do on Satutdays meeting Without having fully done the form, I have reasons NOT to back them all, except "It Takes Time" 28/1 and "Fondmort" 50/1. But I will report back when I've completed my homework ;D Right, homework completed and..............its a horrible one to call Of my original two, Fondmort is still the class horse of the race, but since I posted that the weights have risen and he now has to carry a welterweight 11st 6lb for 4.5 miles which would stop most but i'll have a small each way on him anyway. As for "It Takes Time", I watched Martin Pipes runners at Aintree today, and they all ran terribly, and something is clearly amiss at the stable at the moment, so I cant back him. The one who has jumped out of the formbook is "Nil Desperandum", who will surely never ever carry a weight as low as 10st 11lb again, and is worth a small investment. Happy Punting

I noticed Sleeping Night is running today, so chucked it in a cheeky little double with easy favourite Moscow Flyer. Any chance in it's field today RG?
