2022 Grand National

[Rhinos1968]

For those who fancy Burrows Saint Acapella Bourgeois beat it by over 4 lengths lto and appears to be 7lbs better off at the weights and is triple the price. Danny Mullins rides and seems to go on most grounds. Apologies if this has already been mentioned and feel free to point out what I'm missing but seems a decent ew at least!

Anyone think Class Conti has EW claims?

Yep.
I backed him a month back.
cashed today and will re back if 365 go 50-1 or higher.

Betfred going 8 places for bets placed by midnight tomorrow and they haven’t given everything a massive trim either...

Bet365 returning half of your stake on e/w bets

So say you have ?10 e/w they will immediately credit your account with ?10 so you could add another for ?5 e/w for nothing then another for ?2.50 e/w for nothing and so on

Good way to back a few big priced ones

I’ve done this with Double Shuffle, small stakes on 5 places all the way up to 10 places

Added 4pts each way FARCLAS at 20-1 1/4 1-5 with half the stake refunded under the B365 offer.

Usually avoid 7-year-olds for the National because of their lack of experience/stamina - I see the last 7-year-old winner was back in 1940.

But Farclas won the Triumph (good sign) and has been running well in some top class handicaps this season - 3 lengths second to The Shunter at the Festival when trying to give him 13lbs was a pretty heroic effort.

Yes, nearly all his races have been at trips short of 3m. His only try at 3 miles was in the Paddy Power where he was a staying on third - now better off at the weights with runner-up Minella Times. (who I'm on at 45-1).

Regarding age, 3 of the last 5 winners were 8 - including Tiger Roll (another Triumph winner) for his first Aintree success.

Farclas is obviously from the right stable for this race and it's interesting that Jack has chosen him over Milan Native - on the face of it the more likely GN horse - who he also rode at the Festival.

Farclas is set to carry the lowest weight he's had to shoulder since his flat racing days - and he goes well on good/good to soft ground which will also help him get the trip.

The only time he's tackled big fields over obstacles has been this season where his record is 5/17. 4/22. 3/22, 2/21 - the last 3 with Jack on board.

At effective odds of 40-1 he'll do for me each way despite the age and trip concerns.

He could just be Giggsy's next Tiger Roll!!!!

PS: Good luck to Faugheen Machine in landing ANOTHER big one with Discorama who we climbed on board last April.

Timeform have also given him the second-highest weight-adjusted rating in the race behind Cloth Cap.

4 for me against the field:

Anibale Fly
Lake View Lad
Mister Malarky
Milan Native

And a real longshot to do a Freewheelin Dylan:

Minellacelebration has won 7 and placed three in chases at 3miles or more. 100-1.

[Lobos]

Only bet Cheltenham festival all year but do give myself the luxury of a GN bet every year. Gone for Burrows Saint 5pts Ew @14/1 and Takingrisks 2.5pts Ew @50/1, both top 5 with Paddies.

Patrick mullins on burrows saint

Not sure how to feel about that tbh

Gutted townend won't be on

Patrick has a top record over the big fences so not disappointed at all.

Was today not the first time he'd ever won over the national fences? I thought he said that post race

If he gives the horse a ride of the quality he gave LLL I will be delighted

I'm now just worried about how he will handle the sharp left turns

[Stormez]

A Burrows Saint win & Double Shuffle in the top 10 would be lovely please!

[Sprinter Sacre]

If the ground is on the soft side how confident will Cloth Cap backers be?

When I say top record I just mean completing the National course not winning over it !
