New Posts For Thread: Character Building - Grand Nationalhttps://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/27368929/character-building---grand-nationalBacked this yesterday at 40s ew 1st 5. I think he is somewhat overlooked this year compared to his position in market last year - maybe as an 11 yo grey and with Nina on bookies feel they can field against him this year. He ran a corker last year wheI almost talked myself into backing the horse and I agree with all the above but I just dont feel he is economical enough at his fences and always seems to put in an extra step instead of standing off and having a real cut. That may seem a touch hypehttps://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/27368929/character-building---grand-national?post_id=491512077#491512077I almost talked myself into backing the horse and I agree with all the above but I just dont feel he is economical enough at his fences and always seems to put in an extra step instead of standing off and having a real cut.

If it was any other race they would probably have been called in! Donny prep looked ideal and I like his chance at the odds.https://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/27368929/character-building---grand-national?post_id=490903209#490903209Last year was certainly an excellent sighter for him.

This horse will need producing at the elbow at the earliest imo, shud make for an enthralling finish if CB is still in contentionhttps://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/27368929/character-building---grand-national?post_id=490891369#490891369I concur totally Bullwinkle, bad prep last year,think fitness more than anything cost him a place.
