Ever since his win over 3.5 at sandown early in the season i've had this in mind for the national.They experimented stepping him up to this trip and he was a very good winner when powering away up the run in staying on very strongly.
He has a good few things in his favour, firstly he has back class with a rating high of 166 winning a charlie hall and a good run in the ryanir but now races off 154, he is a smooth traveller usually in his races which is crucial at aintree. He loves fast ground and runs well fresh, his age of 11 is a bit of a negative but in the last 20 years 6 have won at that age or 12 and his weight of around 11-4ish isn't the curse it once was.

Not the worst shout- obviously a very fragile beast but well entered up this week- solid follow up run would have him a lot shorter.
A bit puzzled why you think his age is a negative when you posted proof that it isn't 
Was impressive at Sandown.

Used to like this horse a lot but very doubtful that he truly stays in spite of the Sandown race. Handicapper had dropped him a long way for his return to handicaps (17lb from his peak) and I think he just outclassed them in what was a very slowly run race.

i don't think it is really a negative,if i didn't mention his age then that would have been the comeback from detractors stating that 11 year old isn't the ideal age, so i was getting in first with the acknowledegement and then with defense.
