Cloth Cap 6/1 Fav Back or Lay...

I wouldn't want to lay at 7.2. I thought he was really good yesterday at Kelso and he holds strong claims. I like Milan Native at 44 and I'm going to have a little top up every day.

I got 9, may 'lay' at 5. Tiger Roll was 4/1 2nd time. But, Cloth Cap has very little weight.

My daughter who I have 'educated' in this sport has been backing Cloth Cap since he won The Hennessey after I told her it was my number one trial race for Aintree ....got some good prices compared to now  , 20's I seem to recall.

6/1 nrnb is still ok to back. I think he'll be shorter on the day given the feather weight he's, and future rise post Aintree.

5/1, 9/2 even 4/1 now with the online books. Seem rather ridiculous.

I guess if he wins it, it doesn't!

Cloth Cap is the most likely winner which is why he has shortened. He is top-rated on RPR but Tom Scu's bullishness at the start of the media hype cycle is another factor.

Cloth Cap is the name I'll be giving to any once-a-year punter who asks for a tip.

Ridiculous price. Of course might win and the 2019 run over 4m in Scottish National gives hope will stay 4m2f74y. But never jumped the Aintree fences and luck always pays a part in the National. Tom Scudamore's Grand National record is not great. Hasn't finished higher than 6th and has failed to finish on eight of his eighteen Grand National rides. Ten Year Record: 15,9,6,UR,9,12,11,F,-,F despite riding some decent horses.

There must be some better value in the race at this stage.
