    Did say Mark hasn’t riden him before but yea definitely a decision that will be talked about.

    Wonder has the trainers championship played a part with Mullins getting his no.1 jock on board plus theirs the obvious fact PT certainly knows how to ride IAM and get the best out of him.

    He’s a odd sort IAM that’s for sure - if you were a jock I’m not sure you’d be jumping up and down to ride him in a Grand National - he’s won an Irish one but this will be different

      ….Conflated declared for Melling Chase, I assume that means the GN weights will rise.

      With this deluge of rain (raining again the last few hours) I wonder if they’ll call tomorrow’s Foxhunters off to protect the National course. I’m no Michael Fish but I’m amazed they are officially still calling it Soft/Heavy.

            Will hills epic boost, I've chanced a few quid on farouk D'lane Ew at 160/1 top 6 finish
            Think he's a better horse that what he's shown of late the ground should be perfect for him come Saturday and I'm guessing Elliott has been running over hurdles most of the season with this in mind. I'm hoping he's ridden to eek out his stamina to stay the trip and,if the race cuts up may fill a place with some luck.

              Pretty sure only the win part of the bet is boosted.

                    My Lucky Number 14.

                    I'll definitely have a go on him.

                    • …..I’m waiting for Dandrew99 to put up a case for his beloved Landrake tomorrow.

                      I’m wanting to see a big drift and then I might be mad enough to have a little interest regardless. New trainer and horses who ran over fences earlier in the season have a decent record in the race

                        Didn't even notice he was running

                        Definitely wins though.

                            • I'm slowly coming around to Corach Rambler winning again

                              He's just the best horse in the race

                              And turned it into a procession last year

                              Runs off the same mark tiger did when winning his 2nd and his gold cup 3rd suggests hes as good if not better than tiger

                              Think I'm going to make my main winner

                              • Currently raining in Chester, anyone at or nearer the course to say if it is there?

                                Delta could do with it I think!
