think many clouds looks the real deal for me , makes it look so easy .. distance and smaller fences . make it easier still .. Half or more will not be in sight coming into straight ....for me best since red rum ..Race has changed totally from rummies wins so hard to say winners in future are of the same stamp .........what we see is how it is now and move on to todays game ..or tomorrows in case of ...GRAND NATIONAL....BEST WISHES TO ALL PLAYERS AND ENJOY OUR YEARLY ..FEAST >>>...............

Softer ground than last year will make it harder to carry the weight.
The modern version of the race does not have the specialists coming back year after year and dominating the race. This is no doubt due to the easier fences.
He clearly has some chance , but is dreadful value in single figures.

I write a preview prediction on the 40 runners each year marking them as probable , possible ,unlikely and no chance entrants. He was one of four probables last year , the only negative I wrote was the hard races he had and whether or not they had left their mark .

price is slim but bother said he has a real attitude for jumping which is most likeable about him .last year it was my second choice and foolishly went nap on saint are .. cursing for being talked out of it by reading the threads .. so no longer let others get to me but total decision myself from now on ....horse can do it for me to put my wrong to right if you see the point .. did have a real good bet on rummy first time it won .. this was a useless flat horse that was little good for anything ,.. these animals can be underestimated by many .. including an old hand like myself . so go on do it for me ...MANY CLOUDS .. THE OWNER BUYS TOP HORSES REGULARLY OVER THE YEARS ...get well tipped in I of M ?.........?

Has the Red Rum feel about it. Same age going for 2nd win. In good current form and has never fallen. One p/u and one b/d. Jockey going for his third win as was Brian Fletcher on Red Rum. Carrying only one pound more than last year - can't ignore it.

And i know this is a slightly better race this year...But the only thing stopping him in my eyes is a loose horse cutting across, or being badly hampered by a faller in front of him. Never fell in his whole racing career! the 9 and 10/1 available tomorrow morning is a great price for me. I've backed a few outsiders as well but for me theres only 1 winner tomorrow.

Lets look at it from a cold handicapping point of view. He goes into the Hennessy Nov 14 rated 151. He then wins the Cotswold chase, 6th in Gold Cup then wins National. Placed twice in graded company in 3 starts this season before winning at Kelso. Is now rated 165.
So. Raised 14lb for winning a Hennessy, A Cotswold Chase, A National and a listed chase.
I think thats all you need to know. Moono sums it up perfectly.

Yeah before the race after seeing that rain i thought he would have to be something extra special to carry that weight in that ground! I let all my bets ride on the beast, i had manyyyyyyyy bets on many clouds Ran a great race i thought, i blame the f*cking weather gods! they can give me a full refund when i go to the clouds in the afterlife. Better weather, a slightly lighter weight will see him regain his crown next year.

Why was it a strange ride, he took up the running just at the 19th fence. He wanted to win the race, nothing wrong with the ride at all. Nothing strange either.
