grand national tips thread

Butlers Cabin , was going very well last year before falling at Beechers 2nd time around , has been treated very well by the handicapper and is carrying much less weight . Not a great price but better a short priced winner than a long priced loser.

McCoy has chosen to ride him again this year which must mean he fancies him too. He'd be a hugely popular winner

Big negative is his French breeding but I suppose the trend will be broken some day.

I get your point about prices but 8/1 is very skinny for the National

I get your point about prices but 8/12 is very skinny for the National

JP Mc , JONJO and Mcoy , none have won it before which is amazing , it`s a good time to break the hoodoo.

I also have it doubled with Crowded House in the finest horse race in the world , The Derby .

I going to the Derby this year for my first time, really looking forward to it. Crowded House is 6/1 with William Hill. So a tenner double pays out 630 quid. Nice work if you can get it.

I have a tenner each way double today on Ping Pong Sivola and Voy Per Ustedes in todays 3.45 and 3.10.

I have only missed one in the last 15 , one of the best days of the year , you will love it , I have CH backed from 12`s down to 8`s saw him win in Doncaster last year in an incredible finish , at the moment nothing else looks a threat , was cruising after 8F and looked like the extra 4 would be made for him ( Rainbow Quest is his daddy ) Loads can go wrong over the 3 months but feeling confident ATM.

If you go to attheraces.com , its free to register and you can see replays , the doncaster race is on there , its one of the most impressive turns of speed I have ever seen , worthy of Shergar

To be honest, people who bet seriously will tend to steer clear of this race, won't they?

not really, i think it's quite an easy race to predict (famous last words). my tips are:

Rambling Minster
Butlers Cabin
Parsons Legacy

i think you can disregard: all those who thrive on soft ground, all those who have been treated harshly by the handicapper, those in bad form, French ones, those who consistently fall/unseat rider, and those entered for a laugh (eg complete no hopers)
 
i reckon i might go for:

Parsons Legacy - winner

Rambling Minster will prob be there at the end - might do an e/w on him tho as others could be faster. Butler's Cabin looks a good bet too, assuming he can stay on his feet. And maybe Hear The Echo at 26-1 as the chance to try and win some real cash!
 
I got Cloudy Lane in the work sweepstake then paid again for my absent colleague and got Rambling Minster. If he wins I want my pound back plus some chocolate :mad:

"Faster" isn't something to really consider in the Grand National!! :eek:
 
Right I've made my bets and I have to be placed:

Rambling Minster
Kilbeggan Blade
Irish Invader

Come on the Blades! It'll be good tomorrow at the match if Kilbeggan Blade comes in as pretty much everyone in Bramall Lane will have put money on that horse!
 
Idle Talk is way overpriced at 66/1 with Coral
also like the look of Himalayan Trail plenty of 33/1 available
and Kilbeggan Blade currently at 22/1 with Stan James

Yeah, by looking for horses that can stay the distance, are good jumpers and are well handicapped you can cut out the great majority of the field.

I've backed

Rambling Minster 12/1
Kilbeggan Blade 25/1
Irish Invader 25/1

For anyone yet to have a bet most of the major firms apart from Hills, Corals and Ladbrokes are paying EW on 5 places and Boyles are paying on 6.
 
Rambling Minster, Parson's Legacy and Comply or Die for 1/2/3 (in any order) with Brooklyn Brownie and Butler's Cabin in 4th and 5th. That's not a bet, just a prediction :cool:

Although there was a bit of rain up there last night.
 
After reading up every tip, I have got 10 horses that I have my eye on.

Rambling Minster
Irish Invader
Black Apalachi
Kilbeggan Blade
Parson's legacy
Preists Leap
Butlers cabin
Cornish Sett
Big Fella Thanks
State of Play

Need to get narrowed down to 5.
 
Anybody else not bothering this year? I usually have £20 e/w on a couple of horsies in the 18/25-1 range. Today, just don't fancy chucking money away in a fiscal stimulus to Paddy Power.

Just me?
 
£5 on Nowhere to place.

Think I'll splash some money on Butler's Cabin too. Its the week mof The Masters and the green jacket gets presented in...The Butler's cabin, its an omen I tells ya!!

Big word for Solwhit in the Aintree Hurdle on Saturday - was 9/1 now 7/1.

Either back it on Betfair and lay in running OR do it in an eachway double with your National pick, is my thought - will run a big race but it's competitive . . .
