National Cut

Why? Who do you see defecting?

Pablo de Charmil, Made In Taipan, Deutsland, Dooneys Gate, Equas Maximus, Lennon, Piraya, Flintoff, Royal Rosa, Conna Castle

Royal rosa a def runner if gets in! Has form over the fences and the futher the better for him. Been his target all season and if it does end up being testing he'll love that too.

pretty sure Pipe has said Piraya is a definite.

Chelsea Harbour.

read that conna castle is a starter

Conna connections pretty keen to run.

notra pere / air force one

As a previous Aintree National winner Silver Birch should get a wildcard imo.

Razor Royale,Made in Taipan and Kirsty's Leap too

So where do we think it is ? going on other posts and reports its looking like Royal Rosa at 50 is the last one in.

Would be my guess at the moment ;\

madison du berlais not running??

They will see sense and go for the Bowl imo

Only need another out and the winner gets a run ;)

Hey Hey come on Whinstone!

looks like we are up to royal rosa at the moment ?

Whinstone would get in before Oodachee

Have doubts if lennon will run

Racing Post has jockeys listed for 40 runners down to Palypso De Creek with only 3 of those as unconfirmed runners so anything with less than 10-5 has no chance.

jonny..where are seeing these jockeys listings...on the site...cant see any ?

No jocks booked on mine either ;\

In todays RP paper

what page john...still cant see it :0

Was just looking at it in the bookies 2 hours ago. Was I seeing things - near the front.

cheers john/sands

i was calling it at no.50 royal rosa.....and it might stretch to that with MDB,dooneys,deutchland
all possible drop outs..
think abbey may get tugged for RR if its looking that tight...

^

FFS :^0

;\

TT Happy Easter - David England on Fitz :) Happy Easter to everyone :)

engand ydc for about a week :^0

Trev shirley wont take a week to get round :)

Sands ;) and you.............................David England :^0

thought it was a joke ffs :(

sands..it may if he has to remount 26 times ;\

When is the latest time a horse can get in - is it the 12 pm decs on the 5th ? or can they be added up to 24 hours before the race ?

Lennon looks like its out as well.

Is Whinstone Boy in ?

i wiil be amazed if the cut reaches whinstone

^ not sure sure, be close imo

think royal rosas in now for sure. be surprised if not. Whinestone only 4 behind him, shoould be in reserves at least, and when trainers see ground on Thursday, some sure to go AWOL

Wallis - horses don't technically "get in", they are eliminated. Eliminations occur after the 48 hr decs on Thursday, assuming more than 40 horses are declared. The highest weighted 40 horses will run, and the others are balloted out.

I'm not sure though, but I think they may be allowing substitutions this year to guarantee a maximum field, so if you are one or two out of the weights you have a chance right up to Saturday morning.

Ellerslie George wont run

Four reserves this year.

Thanks Barry. I take it that we probably wont see any more drop outs until thursday then.

Ive backed Cerium and Faasel at pretty decent prices. I really hope they both get in. Cerium looks fine now but Faasel is really stretching it a bit. Having backed him at Chelts I think it's a shame that Chief Dan George wont be getting a run by the look of it.
