Anyone else see Tiger Roll having blinkers on this year as a negative? It's not something I generally like to see in the National. 43 have worn them since Comply Or Die's victory including COD. One runner up, a third and a fifth.

HArd to see it as a negative, when they've seemed to be such a positive for him?
If he doesn't win the race I don't think I'd put it down to blinkers... of course we'd never actually know

as long as they stay in position I wouldn't worry.
If they slip and he runs blind then I'd back each way to be safe
Ultimately, it's a handicap, so the horses in the race have a rating that deserves to get them in.
Which stable they're in, or what colours the fella on top wears don't REALLY matter in terms of the race?
Team tactics are rarer (and would be fairly useless in a race like this anyway) so that wouldn't matter and that only really leaves "how it looks".
Different colours caps, I don't like it...but there are more important things to worry about in racing than that...
I did hear someone on a podcast say they should cap number of owners runners so they can't have #no-hopers' - but ultaitmely, every horse has a rating so that's an incorrect opinion.
Can't see anything changing, I wouldn't change anything.
