I'm one of @PeanutsMolloy 's most devoted disciples and follow him but this was one I chose all by myself as a speculative punt.SheedyCAFC said:Tell me I'm not the only one who thinks Maggio has an incredible chance today at 100/1? Won a 3m at Aintree back in 2016 as a 50/1 outsider by 12 lengths, now just 5lb higher, primed for the last 2 years but missed the cut/injury prevented, had a light campaign in preparation for this race but it's hard to forget the demolition job in 2016.
EDIT: The other two of 'mine' are Gas Line Boy and Shantou Flyer. Suggest avoiding all 3!1 -
Thank you PM, hopefully one of your selections win today, as I've followed and backed them all too!
Great thread this1 -
Much appreciate the devotion Len, though I seem to remember you going "off piste" before - adding Rule The World to your slip in 2016, .......you shrewdyLenGlover said:

Backed Houblon Des Obeaux at average odds of 115 to one with betfair 2 to 3 weeks ago thanks to Peanuts. £6.00 win only, should have backed each way really.1

Finally got one over the line with Identity ThiefPolzeathNick said:Knew the miracle of Walk In The Mill getting in yesterday was too good to be true.
Fwiw gone with the following (in preference order)
Vieux Lion Rouge
Ucello Conti
Houblon Des Obeaux
Milansbar
Hit crossbar last few days with Calino D'Airy and Bedrock both backed at massive prices going close. Hope for a turn in fortunes today.
On the rest of the card thought Identity Thief looked big price. Ran in Champion like he looked in need of going up in trip, and pedigree offers confidence too. 20/1+ is cheap play to find out, and at his best he'd laugh at this rabble.
Chanced Shantou Rock against Petit Mouchoir, likes tight tracks, ran Sceau Royal close last time and fav had savage race at Cheltenham.
Best of luck to all!2 -

Big thanks to Peanuts, Paddy, Polzeath and others for their tips/input. Certainly a learning experience while following and I might do well to jump on some of these selections earlier next year. :-)0 - Sponsored links:

Well their algorithm is better than mine !!Callumcafc said:
Makes me wonder what your thoughts are on things like the "virtual" Grand National? Lots of people writing the idea off as a nonsense but I'm not sure if they set the criteria/conditions right. They must use some sort of algorithm type process to come up with their predicted results, just with a fancy looking graphic to show off at the end.PeanutsMolloy said:https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2018/apr/13/compelling-grand-national-keeps-fragile-link-with-horses-alive-horse-racing

That's not nice to watch. You have to be pretty tapped to have enjoyed that.
I bet this year, but never again.0 -
Is there a question regarding the fence that the runners were waved by the jockey?0

PM - you were right about Seeyouatmidnight being a run short. Also, can't help thinking that if connections hadn't run Bless The Wings in the IN he might have won.1

Clearly common sense prevailed in that respect.ValleyGary said:

Oh well Peanuts, guess we were due an off year. Thanks to the Missus doing her annual clairvoyant act and picking the winner on the back of liking the name (seriously, she's picked the winner 4 years running) we wiped our face and broke even. I can live with that as I only bet on it for a bit of fun and won't gamble agin until the next National.
Cheers as always Peanuts for sharing your passion with us.2 -
Seemed a lot of fallers this year, were there more than usual or just my imagination?1

Had Tiger Roll and Bless the Wings EW a few weeks back thanks to @PeanutsMolloy5
