Will Eclair Surf make the cut?

Fortescue is declared for the Scottish National at the moment. Both the horses on 10-5 (143 OR) are actually 4lbs well in as they are now rated 147 so I assume there would be a ballot if both were vying for the last place.

Sorry guys I totally misread , bloody speed reading He wants Death Duty at fairyhouse and another 3 above Eclair surf there too .

I understand there's only one National nevertheless why are Anibale Fly and Blaklion running? They've had so many chances and not getting any younger. Maybe connections will be sporting and allow others a chance for a 1st run in the race.

These are my probable no-show eg Samcro, Lostintranslation, Easysland, Chatham Street Lad, Battleoverdoyen, Coko beach, Kildisart, Freewheelin Dylan and Chris's Dream.

listening to jonjo today cloth cap wont be running if the promised rains come,if the worst thats predicted comes we,ll be looking at heav y,plenty of nons,
as for eclair surf fences are much softer as tiger brushing through tops of everyone shows but if any horse will try to take at least one home it will be eclair surf loves to batter at least one

up to 43, not many get pulled this late.
Proper touch and go

43 or 44 (unless it is uprated tomorrow).

Should be a limit to Horses entered by one stable ..

I hope Eclair Surf makes the cut. I'm expecting another to defect eg Samcro (20f to 34f); Death Duty and/or Delta Work will not run (Irish National/latter had a hard race against Tiger Roll); Freewheelin Dylan (Irish Nat winner); Battleoverdoyen/Coko Beach (only one will go to post); Lostintranslation (stamina?).

if the rains come cloth cap must be a doubt

I hope Gigginstown/Elliot will not flood this race with their charges merely to minimise the chances of others. If so, it's a travesty, and Aintree needs to formulate a fairer system for next renewal. Why run so many? For instance, the max Samcro has run is 26f - he competed over 16f; this is 34f ie 8f further The Irish National is only 29f, and only 29f.

I believe Gigginstown moaning over the weight allocation of Tiger Roll (and withdrawing), then flooding the race with their runners here could enrage other connections deprived of a run. Maybe connections of Blaklion and Anibale Fly would re-consider about their participation; chances aplenty in the past for these two runners, and not improving or getting any younger either.

1 more to go, and he'll get in. A little more push is needed.

I hope so. It's annoying to see an owner flooding this race at the expense of others just because they can afford to own more horses - horses not improving but regressing. In the old days I believe runners needed to QUALIFY by running in certain races. If so, what has brought about the change?

The present system is unjust, unsporting and bad for the sport.

Unless you withdraw one that's in the 40 so that another one of yours which isn't in the 40 can run and tough luck on anyone who has bet it and now lose their money without a run and not because the horse is injured.

Had forgotten that but the one big difference is that it was for 8 different owners at a quick glance.

IN,caribbean boy out lame.

confirmed.

Is Bellamy ok as a jock? I cannot remember backing any of his mount in big races, Sorry!

Who did JP take out? The horse I'd like to see taken out most is Samcro. He's out of place and not in-keeping in the race.

Cheers! Easysland is regressing so rapidly since beating Tiger Roll in the X-Country at Cheltenham ought to be retired like Native River.

This thing has got a huge chance, I do feel they need to gamble and not try to lead though. He appeared to cope okay at Newcastle with not being in front all the way.
