tidal bay

think you will know your fate at the first fence he will take to it or down tools immediately

i agree but my reasoning is if takes to it will stay got a touch of class and 40s is just to big a price

I agree he looks good on paper but for the National I like a horse that jumps well and travels well, Tidal Bay does neither anymore. I wouldn't put anybody off at 40's it's a reasonable price but he is that price for a reason.

never did jump to be fair

Can't jump but has never failed to complete in 27 goes over hurdles and fences +++ Think that the extra distance will either make him or break him +++ At 40-1 (but shortening) he represents decent value +++ message ends +++

i can see him traveling well through race and a solid jumper running on in gold cup think trip will suit ive more than convinced myself

but think just how far behind he will get - think amberleigh house then treble it....

I thought those who backed him in the Gold Cup were mad and said so but this time round Aintree he could be worth a bet.

He's a total weirdo Tidal Bay but I think he may just take to these fences, if he does then there will be only one winner.

The thing is will he line up? If he does then I'll def have a bet and if he jumps the first half dozen well I'll be in again.

One of my 3 against the field.

Scottish national would have suited him much better.

if they increase the National distance to 8 miles he may just have a squeak

10 lengths behind what a friend in the gold cup wasn't that bad a run.

Tell you what if I was Tony McCoy and had jumped to the front 2 out, looked behind and saw Tidal Bay 10 lengths behind I would worry more than I would having What A Friend upsides me.

I think he'll love the place to be honest and I haven't backed him or liked him since he won the Arkle.

Theres much worse 40/1 shots imo, iv had a saver on him. Simular profile to Don't Push It.

dont push it is a tryer

Well Tidal Bay tries too, tries your patience

This horse is a freek!  Could potentially press the turbo button off the elbow & smoke up by 12 lengths all day long!!!

well said thebigeasy ! i can see this machine make a mockery of the grand national ! TIDAL BAY,TIDAL BAY,TIDAL BAY ,TIDAL BAY .....

Could sulk imo and be pulled up before the canal turn.

If it likes the place and is bang there 5 out it p1sses up

sums it up^
