what gets in?

Bloob, normally between 77 and 82 from the original entries..............from Gallant Oscar to Mountainous.

Why didn't Theartrical Star run at Cheltenham?
Is there a problem!!!!

if Goonyella gets in it could be an interesting one, I don't think it will though

Harry Viking is the one that really interests me... currently 78 so not that hopeful.

Doesn't look like Shotgun Paddy's going, so one down for you CCM.

Nice one mate

100/1 NRNB.... Only 37 more to go!

I think you can also rule out Carlingford Lough, Lord Windermere, and Theatrical Star...........getting there

Why Theatrical Star?

betfair have taken Theatrical Star out of the betting

Ah right, cheers. Thought he had a chance myself.

Alderwood scratched, and Rolling Aces looks doubtful.

8 further out
Boston Bob
Roi Du Mee
Katenko
Living Next Door
Make A Track
Prince De Beauchene
Cedre Bleu
Buddy Bolero

I'm not writing off Rocky Creek being top weight at this rate.

What order do the 10st2 horses get in? I'm hoping for Royale Knight.

MC, Soll would be first in, off his highest present rating. I think (though not certain) it goes to a draw for those currently on the same rating, being Royale Knight, and Ely Brown.

I think that would make RK 46, or 47 on the list, and I reckon more than a fortnight from the race, you'd feel pretty sure he'd get in from there......well I hope so anyway as I've bet both RK, and Ely Brown

Arguably all 15 of these are priced as if they're unlikely to run (BF price & best bookmaker price)

Some of those discrepencies may be down to the ew aspect but I can see there being at least 10 withdrawals from that lot.

Pretty sure after seeing Greatrex on ATR that Tranquil Sea runs

Teaforthree out with an old injury.

Harry The Viking.... inching closer to that magic 40

Just got matched at 110 Corrin Wood in rubbish ,but am  happy to have got out as expected it would have had a run by now when I backed it , but someone must think its a runner .

Anyone know why Wyck Hill is doubtful?

Double Ross out as well now.

Will Raz De Maree get in?

He's 49 on the list at the moment Loaf, with Double Ross, and Teaforthree out, you'd have to be hopeful with a fortnight to go.

I've just backed Raz De Maree 66/1 NRNB. Trouble is that he's also in the Irish National.  Could have a chance if it goes soft 66/1 is fair.

All this continuous race in the north would see Goonyella disputing favouritism come race day ......if he can only get in .

My sentiments exactly six!

I agree about Raz de Maree, if it goes soft then it's got a great chance. Got to be a big question about it turning up though, it would be a gamble to skip the Irish national and then get balloted out. Deffo worth a bet at 66/1 NRNB with the weather forecast

Forecast i looked at today says dry and sunshine from Wednesday next week.

I backed Goonyella last year and ended up being reserve and missing out.  Not a lot between Him and Raz De Maree but the latter is higher up the list and double the price.  If (and it's a big if) they both get in then I'd give them both a decent shout.

Hadrians Approach looking doubtful, having knocked a hind leg joint in his box.

merry king out!

Goonyella getting closer...if only..

How far are we down the list now?

47?

11 of the top 40 are doubtful so Raz De Maree looks pretty fair and perhaps The Package.

when's the next new set of decs?

Ming, It'll be Monday, 5 Day Decs

Raz De Maree number 40 imo.

Cheers, & the weather forecast might mean that a couple of mud-larks drop out too.

Is Raz De Maree being aimed at the Irish national?

Sam Winner looks as if he's out.

one that definitely will not get in is Neptune Equester but he has just been backed at 3/1 

Hadrian's Approach, Sam Winner, Renard, Home Farm, Sydney Paget and Benvolio all withdrawn at 5-day stage leaving 65 on the list.

There are still three that could defect which leaves anything under Raz De Maree looking pretty grim.

What are the three? I'm desperate for RDM to get in at 40.

i do not think gas line boy will run.
