Betfred Grand National Trial - Haydock ( Sat 20th Feb)

Went for him myself Facts, think he would have won last timeless as well. Took the 14's at the weekend, along  with Broadway Buffalo 20's.

Two should be more than enough, but topped up a few quid on Unioniste at 16's as well, though he could go to Kelso on Thu.

Good luck Fab

Cheers Facts, you too, hopefully we get a run for our money.

Just had a look through. Course is frozen at the moment so hope it goes ahead. For such a competitive race I can't see past Broadway Buffalo
Has run 3 times at Haydock winning twice on soft and heavy and tipping up in this last year when still travelling well. I have a feeling that he has been
targeted for this race and has had a nice break since running a blinder in France back in November
Spookydooky may also run a big race

With Unioniste heading to Kelso, I've added Harry The Viking ew @ 25's

Whilst Haydock offers s very different challenge to Chepstow, and having virtually it's highest mark at age 11, to my mind Mountainous is a very worthy favourite.

Jumps very effectively, will adore the ground and could be called winner of Welsh National turning in. His move to take lead was very taking.

Turns up in same form he wins imo. Backed before decs so wouldn't take current price.

Of the others now at prices I also have had a little e/w on One For Arthur as he brings decent unexposed form to the table at 20/1

Stables had 3 of the last 6 wins Roo, had a good look at him.

Only 8 left in, this threads looking good.

Cut up more than I expected and a tad surprised that Katie Wash has the leg up on BB. Not that I'm bothered about it as she has ridden the horse twice
Can see Rigadin and Gas line making the running and at a fair clip, even on this heavy ground, which will suit BB down to the ground
Good luck with your 20s Fab as 5s is looking pretty big to me

Thanks Giddy, fingers crossed.

Well done Facts n Fab - I waited also not expecting the race to cut up so much - the early bird and all that...

Anyway, pretty much agree with everything Giddy says about BB.

I think connections may have overprotected his mark though because he looks too low on list to get in the Grand National - I heard Phil Smith saying that winners post the weights annoucment go to the top of their weight bracket so I imagine they'll be pretty keen on winning this to try and at least give him some sort of squeak.

The only negative is that the stable seem less reliable when bringing one back from a long absence these days.

Anyway, Broadway Buffalo win best price tomorrow am for me.

Cheers Rease, GL

Nice antepost price lads.

Broadway Buffalo for me also though. Could probably do with winning to get in the national - where I've had a small bet

Backed Broadway Buffalo each way.

Facts/Fab....good shouts antepost,best of luck.

Thanks nocturnal

Done Rigaden and Mountainous

Disappointing effort from GLB.  Never travelling like he did in his previous race. Too many races now not finished.
Off the list.

Bad luck  Fab. Thought for a second BB was coming to take the race !

Cheers Facts, had him ew, so few quid back, but it's small consolation, would have been a decent lift for me.

To be fair though, no excuses, and sound performance from the winner.

Facts. Gas Line Boy was blood tested 45 mins before the race. Jim Best wasn't pleased as he said it really wound the horse up! You may want to forgive him for that run

No excuses here either. Unbelievably BB was matched at 1.31 on the run in

Oh great ! Why did they do this before a race ?

Thanks for the information Giddy.
