Grand National 2024

I'm not a backer myself (though, as previously mentioned, unsurprisingly my model does make him a "Big Run No Cigar" threat) but, with the ground drying, 8/1 (7 places) with BetFred for Corach Rambler looks attractive e/w value if you're so inclined.
I know the picture is varied, but Gerri Colombe certainly showed no ill effects from the Gold Cup.

And I still can't quite understand how Roi Mage remains unloved at 50s.
True, he's effectively shorter for place only and perhaps at 12 years old a win is quite a stretch on this ground but it's all relative. Some of those shortening have me scratching my head.

Really enjoyed ladies day yesterday and wow so the ladies scrub up well. Always helps when you get a few winners/ places so was unusually up on the day. Don’t expect the same today but my picks are:-
1.20 Cuthbert Dibble e/w
1.55 Brighterdaysahead win Esprit du Poitier e/w
2.30 Forward Plan e/w
3.05 Flooring Porter w
4.00 Galia Des Liteaux & Mahler Mission e/w’s
5.00 Foundafifty w and Master Chewy e/w
5.35 Mister Meggit w

Thanks @PeanutsMolloy a great thread as ever. I have a small amount on each of your 7. Hoping the luck is better this year, but whatever will make for an exciting race. 

AND Elliott does indeed take one out.
Run Wild Fred is a NR.
I reckon we all saw that one coming.

Thread of the year yet again.
Staggering the time you commit to your model Peanuts.
im on mr incredible and glenguily ew but sincerely hope Mrs Peanuts has the holiday brochures out at 4:30 this afternoon.

Thanks Gents
Much appreciate the comments and glad you enjoy it.
Fingers crossed.

Not following racing as much these days but sticking with my theory of younger unexposed horses being ones to go with in this race now. Thought Adamantly Chosen was a big price, and didn't mind Meetingofthewaters or The Goffer (though trip probably an issue for the latter!)

Yeah she was high on list too. Not sure about mares for this put me off but the stronger programme for them now probably means it shouldn't!

Don't understand why Nassalam is so long, can get 100s on the exchange and I think will be right up there. Gone for Nassalam and Farouk Dalene e/w and i am maximus straight win

If it's any help, Landfill is my prediction for this afternoon.

Sorry if its a rubbish tip.

Is the Betfred offer of 7 places (1/5th place) the best out there?

Betfred, Betway and Livescore bet are all offering 7 places online but not in shops

Thanks. In which case my bets are with Betfred (7 places):

I am Maximus £30 e/w @ 6-1
Roi Mage £10 e/w @ 50-1
Farouk D’alene £10 e/w @ 100-1

Good luck everyone and, of course, massive thanks to Peanuts for another interesting,impressive and fun thread.

Three Mullins horses have been heavily backed on Betfair (although it's a moot point as to whether Betfair are following the bookies' lead or vice versa):

I Am Maximus - 10.0 to 7.4
Mr Incredible - 20.0 to 15.0
Capodanno - 60.0 to 27.0 

Willie Mullins spoke particularly  glowingly about Capodanno in an interview with Matt Chapman. 

Being backed heavily at fixed odds as well.

I'm sticking with @PeanutsMolloy and his magnificent analysis.

Let's hope for a Charlton win together with a successful National.

Done 10 places with Bob on Farouk D'Alene, Roi Mage and Nassalam given the probable soft to heavy nature of the ground.

Cheers for your kind comments @LenGlover
Much appreciated.
I know I sound like a broken record but I'm still amazed that Roi Mage is still 66/1 e/w - softer than last year, jumped it beautifully to be an always-handy and not-stopping 7th. Now has his preferred partner on board and a 2lb lower mark. 14L margin to Corach who was good for maybe 5L further but is up 13lb in mark.
Just his age presumably but that matters much less on softer ground.
Absolute no brainer. And backing him in the Places market is the best value saver available IMHO.
Now the Betfair Top10 market's got some liquidity, having cleared the decks of my Attritional Ground, off-piste bets late yesterday, I've gone back in again this morning with Farouk and Nassalam for extended places as a hedge in case it pisses down - there's still a chance later, before Off time. Better prices than Bet365 on these unfancied ones.
I think people forget that Nassalam has good form over these fences in a Grand Sefton. Yes he's got too high a mark but so too has Coko Beach and, unlike Coko, there's no doubting his stamina.
He's not one of my model's picks but he's at daft prices now and well capable of a minor place. 
All the best.
