Anyone trust me with a selection??

…yep, of course.

Next week's volunteer gets the easy job of picking between the 37 mullins runners in the Scottish national and champion hurdle

Valgrand for Skelton interests me, obviously Mullins will throw dart after dart at the bigger races but I know Valgrand was expected to go close in the County and disappointed hugely, I haven't heard if anything came to light after the race but given he gets the entry you have to assume he's fit and well, and won't mind the ground.
He was dropped 2lb after Cheltenham too....

….i have Spanish Harlem in my notebook for next years Grand National, interesting to see him in Scottish National decs (33-1).

Ran in the race last year off 140, 12/1 shot and was Paul Townend’s mount…..dropped 5lbs since last year

Not sure if I've been handed the honour but I'm going to tip one up anyway.....

Scottish Grand National...

Rock My Way

Placed all Chase runs

Best run (imo) was when upped in trip last time and a good 2nd behind a really improved horse in the NHC. That showed to me that this marathon trip could bring out even more improvement.

Was really well backed that day on what was just the horses 2nd run for his new trainer so they should know even more about the horse now and how to ride him.

Good profile for the race. Right age and a lovely racing weight.

For me, he should be shorter in the betting but Mullins gang are keeping his price up.

12/1 available Each Way with Corals/Laddies top 5 which is where my money has gone.

Good luck.

Edit....

Just read Rules on page 1 and other posts and realised that this should have been posted at 10am Saturday and the price 16/1+

Soz, I'll get my coat and let someone more sensible put one up......

Oooops

I saw Hasthing was 16s for the Scot Nash, was in the process of running a mighty race in the Nat Hunt Chase, that seems a bit of value though Spanish Harlem has been the subject of some interest also at 16s....

….i mentioned Spanish Harlem at 33s. I have him in my notebook for the GN after an eye catching 4th in the recent Punchestown trial where he was ridden out back, travelled wide and did his best work at the end to finish 4th.

He went off 12-1 for this last year under Paul Townend, presume the jockey bookings this time isn’t a positive.

Jockey bookings meant nothing a week ago.
Well done on 33s, had a nibble already so hopefully Haysey can do us both a favour….

Moneys come for Spanish Harlem, now best price 11/1

Good shout Eggs, we have some value to enjoy the race

Was there a punt this week then? Got a bit chaotic

….no, I think whoever drops out should only do so after a replacement is found otherwise it’s left up in the air.

I assumed there wouldn't be much difficulty finding someone so hadn't really been paying attention to the thread until last night.

Theres one or two i like tomorrow so i could just do an extra week and stick one of them up in the morning if theyre a decent price, and if it loses there's another week to find somebody. If there is difficulty finding new people every week I could just do it every week myself if that's preferable and see if I'm profitable with one big priced runner every weekend

I did try......

See post 81

[riccirich]

I hadnt said I was definitely putting something up, but on the off chance that anyone is expecting a pick, there won't be one this morning as there is nothing of interest.

If anyone would like to put up a pick next saturday or sunday at the usual time of 10 in the morning then feel free to volunteer. If not i'll just carry it on myself and see how it goes.
