Cheers chaps, On going that I expect to produce a pace equivalent to a Good ground National, I am backing [all e/w]:
TEAFORTHREE (#1 win Candidate) CAPPA BLEU (#2 win candidate) SWING BILL (100/1 BetVictor [6 places]) JOIN TOGETHER MAJOR MALARKEY (125/1 with Stan James [5 places], 80/1 BetVictor [6 places])
The model rates Ballabriggs equal with Swing Bill and Join Together as strongest place candidates but, though he could run very well if he avoids trouble (they say they will hold him up more this time), I am passing him by as I don't want to dilute returns further from an all e/w book and no GN winner since Bindaree (2002) has won another race, let alone another GN. I much prefer to have the Major running for me (I was on at 150/1 with Vic). Best of luck.

You're too kind chaps. Pleasure to share the fruits of my weird hobby every year. Just hope the Irish haven't blind-sided me this time - the market clearly reckons they have. Still, they're keeping a welcome in the hillside for the first Welsh-trained winner for over a century. Let's hope all 40 return home safe and sound. Whoever you've backed, best of luck.

13.45... Up and Go, don't think it will be caught around this track.
National..... Ballabriggs e/w.
Whatever happens, happy punting and good luck :-)
Not up to Peanuts standard, but interesting nonetheless.
I'm confident Peanuts. Charlton win and T43 romping home,
Big thanks to him, win or lose, fantastic thread this is every year.
now doing bets for family and one that i haven't done keeps catching my eye. lost glory.
Still, they're keeping a welcome in the hillside for the first Welsh-trained winner for over a century.
Let's hope all 40 return home safe and sound.
Whoever you've backed, best of luck.
£1 e/w on On His OWn @ 10/1
