Hi - it is 33/1 at StanJames nrnb this is also top price
FWIW - i am waiting on Oscar Time in the double with Long Run(gold cup)
Good Luck

Kalinic.....trainer stated GN was the plan if he could get him there. He'll go without a prep run if he does, after injuring himself when finishing second in the Paddy Power over the Christmas period. Think he had minor surgery as a result of that injury.

If the word soft appears in the going description Silver By Nature to hose up!

Kalinic he defo goes, he went over to Haydock in January to run but the meeting was abandoned, then he had a little setback when he got back so hasn't had a run over hurdles.

But last I heard all systems go, I've him backed too and will top up when I hear he's in fine form.

Good stuff, i've taken some of that 50's, really like this horse, backed it in the 4miler last year, travels very well, hope the injury fully healed

Wasn't injured at Christmas by the way, just had a slight setback last month is all.

Just found out that Davy Russell likely to take thee ride on becauseicouldntsee, happy with this, although nina gets a good tune out of him i have to say

Kalinic - does Russell's likely availability point to One Cool Cookie missing the race ? Hadn't heard anything after the cross-country debacle.

I've backed Becauseicouldntsee also. Would prefer to see Nina on board, don't think she's anyway inferior to many of the top jocks and can only be good for the sport. Would settle for Davy though if it's the owner's/trainer's decision to go for a pro.

Davy russell injured

Russell said he will be back for the ride. Couldnt do the weight on One Cool Cookie anyway.

The National is two weeks tomorrow, Racing Post article states that Russell faces up to two weeks on the sideline. It'll be a fine line to get back in time!

thats the first five home not sure which order yet though ballabriggs will probley win though

Im on Majestic Concorde & Becauseicouldntsee at mahoooosive prices..Love the national its a race where you can turn pennies into redies $$$$$$$$$$$

Northern Alliance - won the Kerry National on only attempt over 3m then been tooling around over hurdles / inadequate trips (including a pretty decent run in the MCR Hurdle behind Final Approach this season). Acts on good ground in fact the only offputting thing is the huge price, given the connections!

Ballabriggs won't stay.

I like Northern Alliance myself and love a Tony Martin plot (although it's been a while since Arc Blue won the Northumberland Plate!). Any news on whether or not the National is the plan, very big at treble figure prices if it is?

ballabriggs has more of a chance than midnight club although a do share your doubts rhinestone

Goes against the grain backing a 7-y-o novice but Quinze has massive chance.
