New Posts For Thread: Haydock Grand National Trialhttps://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/30197697/haydock-grand-national-trialLooked at this race few for a weeks... the two horses that I fancy at big prices are MONBEG DUDE (10/1) and WELL REFRESHED (14/1)In terms of value I think they will be a lot shorter, Well Refreshed won this last year by 10 lengths...
