2022 Grand National

[FinalFurlong91]

I keep hearing the line trotted out that cloth cap is 14lb well in

Cant have that at all

If he's a 162 horse il eat my hat

Aso beaten 50 lengths in the gold cup and 100 lengths (behind tiger roll even) yesterday

hes so far below his best these days

Two for gold was awful in the topham today before unseating jumping as poorly as he did at kelso

He may well win as he's got a few lbs in hand and jumps well

But 14lbs? Not for me

[Craigy14]

For anyone interested Cloth Cap is boosted to 13/2 with Paddy P.

Doesn't look like there’s a limit either.

Price is a little better but I’m similar to FF91 above. He could have lbs well in hand and if taking to the fences will have a great chance. I just feel in races like the national which is so unique, horses (tiger excluded) shouldn’t be sub 10/1 imo.

Nothing in the race has proved that good a horse to be sub 10/1 imo. Now a previous winner like Tiger he went off 5/1mfor his second national win, how can the bookies have Cloth Cap in the same league as Tiger when he’s not even been over the national fences yet.

On the other hand he does have proven stamina so that should not be an issue.

For me, all about price and once again bookies are taking the piss with Cloth Cap. Yes he was available at bigger antepost of course but his price now is shocking imo.

Clerk put down an extra 6mms last night.....seems excessive to me

....dry overnight, sunny and clear so far this morning in Liverpool.

We may be in danger of overlooking the obvious in the first today in Wherling Dervish. Hes been running on soft and heavy so todays a new challenge but he rallied well last time off top weight over a slightly shorter trip than today so the extra distance should suit. Basically hes an irish horse in a handicap this week, it cant be ignored.

Ive already backed Kid Commando at 28/1 with pp lasg night, but will be covering wherling too

That’s about as good a strategy as there is at the moment Jrow!

1:45 Wherling Dervish
2:25 Ballyadam
3:35 Diol Ker

Blindly backed as they are irish, but also do have very good chances

Not with how dry and sunny it’s been GG.

They will know how well/much the ground dried yesterday as conditions look to be the same today.

Takingrisks and Mister Malarky have come in from over 50-1 to teens the last while. I know Codd tipped up Mister Malarky. Did anyone else tip either?

[Stormez]

Heard someone mention Takingrisks on a podcast a few days ago, can’t remember who but wasn’t a big name tipster. Andrew Thornton maybe?

[Green Goddess]

Not that original but my top 6 for National are:

1) Cloth Cap
2) Magic of Light
3) Any Second Now
4) Takingrisks
5) Mister Malarkey
6) Burrows Saint

Also, Spotlight in the RP.

[Joleg]

The price on Cloth Cap isn't worth taking for the scraps i outlay on the National albeit i do expect it to win.

My Hard earned is on the following

Mr Malarkey 50-1
Lake View Lad 40-1

The above's racecard number corresponds with the dates of my grandchildren's birthday's (Now there's an old school way of picking GN winners)

Also

Acapella Bourgeois 28-1
Burrows Saint 11-1
Discorama 18-1
Takingrisks 20-1

GL all

Backed Kimberlite around a month ago at 20s and thought I'd done well but drifted all the way from 10s to 20s today

Not had a winner in the national since Ballabrigs so just a bit of fun with the 365 offer and all the below really low stakes

Minella Celebration 100/1
Acapella Bourgeois 28/1
Farclas 25/1
Class conti 50/1
Sub lieutenant 50/1
Cabaret Queen 80/1
