does any one know what they set the maximum weight at and which horse will be carrying it
|
|
By:
Neptune Collonges 168
Tidal Bay 166 Don´t Push It 164 Midnight Chase 163 Deep Purple 160 Here are the top weights amongst the initial entries according to the RP. My guess is that Don't Push It will be top weight with 11st 10lb probably as that has been the highest weight in the last few years |
|
By:
Need to look at those sitting sub 11 stone...assuming Don't Push It is top weight with 11:10...ballabriggs looks to have a great chance off 10:10?
|
|
By:
I can't have Ballabriggs in this at all, very doubtful stayer in my book
Backstage had a provisional rating of 143 when the RP published the entries last week so theoretically is going to be off roughly 10st 3lb in this (although handicapper frames his own weights from what I believe) if DPI is the likely top weight with 11st 10lb. Backstage was still tanking when being brought down on the 2nd circuit last year when carrying 11st (DPI carried 11st 5lb when winning) and I think connections will be well chuffed with his likely weight if he is handicapped on that mark. Wouldn't worry about him not being seen recently, trainer confirmed he was being aimed at this race a few weeks back on ATR and he is already within the top 50 rated horses on the official handicap so shouldn't be any doubts about him getting in. Based on the last 3 years the bottom rated horse has been rated 138 (2008), 139 (2009) and 139 (2010). Probably need a rating of 141 to be safe this year. |

I assume you're doubting his ability to stay based on him being 10 lengths up at the last and just holding on in the amateur riders race at cheltenham last year? I would note that he has won foiur chases over 3m 1f+ and in the amateur race arguably he was sent on too soon 3 fences out and he did have top weight of 11:12 - was he not entitled to get tired close home? There's plenty of stamina from his sire presenting (Denman; war of attrition; weapons amnesty) and the dam is out of blakeney...there's a risk as always - but I'd be willing to take it on staying...

By:
NEPTUNE COLLONGES and FRENCH TRAINED HORSE WILL BE JOINT TOP WEIGHTS, Ballabrigs and others will be handicapped closer to these top weights to give the high weights a chance to carry their weight, as is Mr Smiths usual way of handicapping this unique race.
|
|
By:
Nicholls hinted at the weekend that Neptune Collonges wont be running in the GN. Dont know about the Frenchie though.
My top 5 at the moment are: Chief Dan George Oscar Time Vic Venturi Taranis the Midnight Club |

Becauseicouldntsee faces a race against time to be ready for the John Smith's Grand National after undergoing surgery on a hind leg.
The eight-year-old is due back at Noel Glynn's stables in County Clare from the Fethard Equine Hospital in County Tipperary on Friday and the trainer remains hopeful the horse will make Aintree on April 9th. "It's 50-50 for Aintree at the minute. He's coming home from the hospital tomorrow but we think we'll make it. We still have eight weeks so we should get there. "He'll have to have a week off when he gets home, but we think we'll get there. We were going to give him a run before the National but we won't now. If he's fit enough he'll go directly to Aintree." |

Ballabriggs to carry more or less than 11 stone? At a guess think he'l race bang on it
|
|
By:
Looks like being a poor renewal thsi year with Don't Push It being top weight. I expect a horse weighted around 140 will win it.

WEIGHTS on February 15th.
Harry Findlay to sell horses and quit racing.... “They will all come under the hammer at the Doncaster sales on April 21 and, in all likelihood, our last ever runner will be Big Fella Thanks in the Grand National.” Ballabriggs (16) , Big Fella Thanks (20) , Dont Push It (20) , Niche Market (20) , The Midnight Club (20) , Merigo (25) , Synchronised (25) , West End Rocker (25) , Oscar Time (28) , Becauseicouldntsee (29) , Backstage (33) , Notre Pere (33) , State of Play (33) , Bluesea Cracker (35) , Hello Bud (37) , Midnight Chase (38) , Calgary Bay (40) , Chief Dan George (40) , Northern Alliance (40) , Our Monty (40) - Others 40 or more |

It's certainly not the "meatiest" renewal of recent years for sure. Not much strength and depth this time so might be easier to pin down a handful of classier rivals.
|
|
By:
Agreed Mully.One of the weaker renewals imo. My initial list includes:
Tick most boxes: Ballabriggs West end rocker with some reservations: notre pere Chief dan george State of Play I'm hoping for 10:12 on Ballabriggs tomorrow. |
|
By:
I've keen on CDG at the moment Fistful. Seeing what weight he's burdened with Tuesday before backing up.
|
|
By:
Agreed Mully - got good chance if getting there fit and well. Too stiff a task first comeback race...would like to see him run back to form in an easier contest....suspect the trainer is protecting the mark...GL

I'm going to go to Haydock on Saturday to see if that race gives me any clues.

What time are the weights out men?

Top 5 weights on Twitter at 11 am, the rest released at 11.30 am
|
|
By:
PF Trader I suspect you are other than a fool having looked at a few of your posts.
My analysis is that Backstage ticks a number of boxes, and is very decent value at anything over 30 as he is such a likely runner and very likely to be backed as well. |
