      Not sure how to link but if you search 'b365 grand national offer' on the twitter their account has replied to a question about the offer confirming it won't be available.

        • Velvet Elvis & Vanillier will be the flying V’s for me tomorrow…

          Quack, Quack, Quack

          Le Milos’s & The Big Breakaway at smaller stakes for a bit of cover!

          Have a sneaky feeling for Velvet Elvis though, especially now he’s got his ground.

              Me too. Very much coming in under the radar. If it wins of course everyone on Twitter will tell us they backed it.

              • ….Enjoy Dallen, site fancy last year when fell at the first & totally ignored this time around after an unimpressive campaign. Fall in the weights, I’m hoping everything has been geared for today.

                Exacta permed; Enjoy Dallen, Capadanno & Vanillier.

                  Was looking and making this exact case to myself five minutes ago Eggs.

                  I was trying something different and looking at the sires as well, he's by Network who also sired Delta Work so hopefully stamina not in question if he can make it past the first this year! Form absolutely stinks the place out, worse than Liverpool away at the moment

                  • I've gone with 11.

                    Corach Rambler looks a massive price this morning at 10-1, I was against him due to his run style prior to the Ultima, but he looked to travel and retain position a lot easier in that race and unless he reverts today he should run a massive race.

                    Mr Incredible should also run a decent race, but if he has to get racing early and is not still travelling then he may struggle.

                    The other 3 I like that I'll be backing some time today are Capodanno, Longhouse Poet and GDM, all of these are just the right sort of weight with potential for improvement.
                    Capodanno the only one in the top 10 of the weights I've backed as I think he is the least exposed, and could be a 170 horse.

                    Others in the team backed antepost are...

                    Coko Beach
                    Cloudy Glen
                    Enjoy Dallen
                    Gabbys Cross
                    Aint that a shame
                    Recite a Prayer
                    (all four figure returns from 1 or 2pts, except ain't that a shame)

                    Might back Our Power if he drifts even further.

                    I do respect the horses near the top of the weights and 2 or 3 will undoubtedly run well and they may even win the race if nothing really improves from further down the weights.
                    Delta Work the most likely.
                    The ground will make it harder for them all though.

                    Vanillier I can leave as he will likely find a way to run through at least one fence - but you never know, he has slowly improved his jumping the thick bastard.

                    I think without Corach Rambler the race is very open and you could make a decent case for around 75% of the field.
                    So if he doesn't run hos race or gets bad luck in running then anything could win.

                    At 10-1 though he looks very good value.

                    • 3 for me so far but thinking of backing Gaillard Du Mesnil as well.

                      Delta Work 12/1
                      Vanillier 22/1
                      Longhouse Poet 20/1

                      • I'm at a loss without the 365 offer cos I can't scum back every one I have an inkling about

                        Comment


                        • Hugh Taylor has put up Corach Rambler and Capodanno. Slightly surprised by that

                          Comment


                          • Still not sure who to back.

                            Already done Velvet Elvis 40/1 6 places and 29/1 8 places. Followed him since his novice hurdle campaign so won't be abandoning him now.

                            Shortlist then includes:

                            Capodanno - high in the weights but is a grade 1 horse and 11-5 isn't too bad.

                            Le Milos - Harry Skelton puts me off.

                            The Big Breakaway - if it's dried out, not sure that will suit.

                            Minella Trump - one on my tracker for a while. Wins in small fields so could hate the hustle and bustle.

                            Recite a Prayer - going to watch his Becher run again to see how he jumped over the fences.

                            Eva's Oskar - might be a bit keen
                            Our Power - can't really see any negatives.

                            Will back 2/3 of the above - likely Minella Trump, Our Power and one other.

                            Corach Rambler should be favourite for me. Perfect profile. Will be ridden patiently. Short enough though so I'll back him in play on betfair when the layers push him out for not being near the front.

                            Last winner in this was over 10 years ago so you can probably discount the above.

                            • I’ve backed 3 so far…..

                              Delta Work 12/1
                              Capodanno 25/1
                              Diol Ker 80/1

                              Got Noble Yeats & Longhouse Poet in the placepot too, not sure Noble Yeats can win it with the weight though so may just add Longhouse Poet.

                              • Looking through I've already backed a fair few

                                Our Power
                                Vannilier
                                Capodanno
                                The Big Breakaway
                                Recite a Prayer
                                Delta Work​

                                Meaning I've already backed 15% of the field, so I'm just gonna let them run

                                The Big Breakaway is my biggest winner but every preview seems to think I'm mad
