If he runs then how many will carry over 10st? His presence will ensure that half (?) the field are out of the handicap. Never has a top weight had a better chance of winning. Might not even carry top wight if TB runs. A nice run on Saturday confirmed his well being, here's hoping!
Gold cup winner in the National with half the field out the handicap. Consistent, never not completed and if he can jump well enough to win a Gold cup the polystyrene fences at modern Aintree shouldn't cause him too much bother.

I doubt half the field will be out of the Hcp as it will encourage trainers to enter better horses as they are now likely to get in with a low racing weight. It should increase the quality of the field and make it harder to get in for less talented horses IMO.

People say he can't jump yet has never fallen and the paddy power wasn't the aim won the king george and gold cup after that,henderson has ran him in different races apart from the king george this season think he has been set up for this.

He doesn't fall , but his technique of brushing through the top of fences is a disaster awaiting at Aintree imo. And his form is hopeless this season , even in the King George he was going nowhere after 2 miles.
