Not a tip but I think Inglis is definately worth taking on. Has a poor record at Aintree particularly after his Cheltenham wins

Think Kauto Star be be up staged today also.
Has had a few tough races recently and can see the top horse winning that one.
be surprised if Kauto gets turned over. his form with all the others in the race is far superior and surely he can;t jump anywhere near as bad as in the Gold cup. I think come race time, the big boys will be ploughing into him at 8/11

Hope he does win, but looked knackered after gold cup, and if he has recovered, probably will win, but just have a sneaky feeling he'll be beaten.

maybe Exotic Dancer best chance to get one over on him
I think Inglis may do it today but i'll have a small e/w bet on Faasel at a huge price.
Kauto star has the beating of everyone in the field but the poor run at Chetenham has to be worring and i as i can never bring myself to back a Jonjo O'neill trianed horse(Exotic dancer) i'll instead do a small each way on Nicholls other one which is the outsider of the field...Gungadu.
I fancy binocular to beat Celestial halo on the back of his run against the older horses at Cheltenham.
Foxhunters over the national fences is a nice race to watch but no bet.
Leslingtaylor is interesting in the 4.20
Elusive dream looks strong in the 4.55 against Franchoek who has had a long hard season and is stepping up in class against older horses.
Edited as i forgot to say i fancy Peacock as an each way cert in the last. Only 8/1 but Powers will pay first 5.

Thats the one i am going for. Did back him in gold cup.
Gold Cup came too early for him as he needed that run and he will be better for it today but on past experiences i still cant see him beating KS.

Not a bad day yesterday with 2 winners and a nice priced placed horse. The only real disappointment for me was peacock who ran a stinker.

2 winners 5/1 & 7/2, not too bad i suppose. Bad to get only 2 winners from seven races.

I wouldn;t view that as bad at all at those prices. That's a 50% profit on an even stake on each race

First one up Mark. Had him myself though it;s the only one of the seven I did the same. Didn;t do anything in the 3rd as Master minded is too short a price at 1/3 for my money and with only 2 places, not much value elsewhere
Lingfield: Beautiful Lady 11/2 (2nd)
beaten 3/4l to the well fancied fav

Master Minded beaten. The same as with Kauto yesterday, a shocking jump at the 2nd last cost him dearly

Lot of money lost on him, and extra 4 furlongs didn't suit.
Would have been good to see how he would have stayed but for that mistake. seemed to really take the wind out of his sails. However, assuming that he didn;t stay on this occasion, he is still only 5 and may well stay 2m4 in the future (or further)

That sounds like the best way to pick one, it can be such a lottery.

Aintree Grand National, Well I have to admit I know nothing at all about
horses, but I do have a bet on this race every year, it probably goes
back to when I was a kid and my dad used to put a shilling each way
on a horse of our choice for us kids, and I've always done the same
for my kids, I've only got the winner three times and that was Red Rum
and the only reason I picked it was because it had red in it's name :)

Would love to see AP win it. I have backed him on Bulters Cabin.
Go on AP

The guy who give the tips on the ian dempsey show on fridays gave out the winner ...... was very sure about his selection and gave the reasons why (me not knowing about racing cant remember them) but it worked .........

Yes ,John Duggan he is, of course i didn't do his bet as he has a very poor weekly record of tipping, but not this week !
