    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.

    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.

    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.

    Did a treble of Inglis Drever, Kauto Star and Celestial Halo.

    In the big one on Saturday did Bulters Cabin (25.0) e/w and Turko (32.0) e/w. Its a lottery
