    Agree with this too although not sure she'll turn up. No harm NRNB - would be close to bottom weight..25s 5 places with 365

      Hoping rain stops being forecast in the lead up to the national. Seems like that is all it's done the past 6 months

          …bit of Oddschecker blue for Desertmore House and Kitty’s Light but both need a few to come out to get a run.

            Interesting that Desertmore house was pulled from the Irish national final decs today so I’m reading into that they think they might sneak in here.

              Do you think we could do a short preview on every horse between now and the race?

              Be interesting to see what the comments on the eventual top 5 would be.

              Start with top weight and work our way down. Same person can't go twice in a row.

              Horse: Conflated
              Weight: ​​​​​11st 12lbs (166)
              Price: 50/1
              Verdict: Top weight has traditionally struggled and Conflated also may be unlikely to turn up on the day. If he does show, undoubtedly has class and potentially has been trained with this race in mind. Wouldn't be a surprise at all to see him in the places but likely to find a couple with nicer weights outstay him. Last horse to win off top weight was Red Rum

              Next Up: Noble Yeats

                DH needs a far sounder surface than the going at Fairyhouse today. That was the reasoning behind the NR.

                    Added Nassalam @ 40/1 E/W last week, on the back of the potential weather and going.

                    Cash out available so should it not come up soft/heavy or heavy I'll probably get out the bet.

                    Also backed him @ 10/3 for a top 10 finish.

                        ….if you bet up to £5 on the National with Ladbrokes, they give you matched free bet to use on Aintree Thursday. Opt in required.

                            …..Galia, Nassalam and Mr Incredible seem to be popular on Oddschecker. Bit of a drift for Galvin, hardly surprising with this rain.

                              Kitty's Light seems very popular still, but wouldn't he be another that would prefer better going?

                              I've backed so I'm looking for someone to disagree
