Master Dee and O O Seven are your 12/1 joint favoruites but the one who interests me is 18.0 Patricks Park. Could some kind soul tell me why he was scratched from several engagements at Cheltenham, please? Was it just the going. If so, will he have the same problem at Aintree?
the horse is ground dependent he wouldnt be able to recognise that from the form because he never does any research empty vessel most sound

Ive got my eyes on Art Mauresque for this though, but also no idea if its the plan. Its his only entry though, so pretty hopeful.
He's still only 8, but has had loads of experience and is generally a pretty sound jumper (albeit he can jump slightly left which shouldn't be a big issue here). Has slipped back down to a mark of 148 which is 2lb lower than when he ran a very good race behind Waiting Patiently at Kempton.
Whilst he has got a bit on to reverse form with Master Dee after their last run, he looked the winner 2 out and didnt seem to get home over 3m, whereas the test of stamina really suited Master Dee. The step back to 2m5f should be perfect, and he's 7lb better off so I personally fancy him quite strongly to reverse the placings.
20/1 looks more than fair.

Just seen this thread. Here's what I put on the thread I created on The Grand National Forum.
At 25/1 last years winner Ultragold looks a great EW bet to me. Since then he has been given some stiff tasks but looks like he's been readied for this. He won last year on good ground but he ran in the Sefton in December over C&D on heavy where he only found another course specialist Gas Line Boy too good. He's on the same mark as that race and only 5lb higher than winning last year. No ground worries for him so as I say at 25/1 IMO he's worth a go.
