With a bit of rain Djakadam the bet ? 5/2 so nearly an ew.

Annie P cant be opposed ?

With a bit of rain Djakadam the bet ? 5/2 so nearly an ew.

Annie P cant be opposed ?

I think MTOY could go close.
Not sure about the weather, Djakadam needs genuinely deep ground to be seen at his best and I don't think he'll get that, have to say I'm surprised Cue Card is as short as he is but he'd be the obvious winner for me, Houblon e/w at a price ?

[Faugheen_Machine]

I can't see how Don Poli finishes unplaced and really fancy him to put in a big performance. Took the 7/1 each way and also each way doubled him with Jason Day for the Masters

I'm only just showing a profit having followed On The Fringe over many cliffs for years and he would seem the obvious choice here, however, the field were coming back to him at Cheltenham and he took much longer to get ready this year, maybe age is starting to catch up ?

This 2m 5f I think is perfect for Current Event, not convinced he stays the Cheltenham trip against the very best which explains why he hasn't always shown his best form there.
11/1 seems a great e/w price for me.....

[Istabraq]

That 11/1 B365 didn't last long, sneaked the last of it by the looks of it....

[MrMcGoldrick]

Some big prices around for horses that didn't give their running in the last race or two, excuses around if you believe them but here's an ew treble I stuck on
Sceaux Royal 20/1
Workbench 14/1
Major Malarkey 20/1
Also looked at Wakanda 66/1, may include that in something but probably too much class in that race for him, huge price though if he is on his A game, he'll love the ground, and if a couple of the opposition are feeling the Gold cup

[Montelado]

Like Marsonnien 8/1, Fayette County 5/1 & at a bigger price Khezerabad @ 25/1 - maybe the day for one that had not run at Cheltenham even though I hate deserting IG which was very good to me in Cheltenham

[loveracing]

Apples Jade 4/1 looks a bet to nothing. She didn't stay up the hill as well as IG, so the flatter track may help.

Added Annie Power & La Bague Au Roi double.

Sceaux Royal agreed.
Major Malarkey is a horse I know well through someone close to the Twisters, he needs rattling quick ground and I don't think he'll be getting that at Aintree, I wouldn't be surprised to see him go well as he's fit and well but I think he'd need everything to fall into place for him to prevail
