Arbor Supreme 40-1 OUR THOUGHTS: Progressive Irish handicapper who recorded three wins in 2008. Slightly disappointing when well fancied for the Irish National but bounced back when finishing a close third at the Punchestown Festival to Ambobo. Owned by JP McManus, it would be no surprise to see him aimed at Aintree this season and an early entry in the Hennessy at Newbury indicates the high regard he is held in by owner and trainer. Versatile when it comes to ground conditions he has won on good and soft ground. Stamina appears more assured than with some contenders as Arbor Supreme has victories at 29 and 30 furlongs.

Roulez Cool 40-1
OUR THOUGHTS: Home-bred youngster from the powerful owner/trainer yard of Robert Waley-Cohen. Roulez Cool started his racing career with ten races in France, winning one at Auteuil in April 2007. After that he returned home to Waley-Cohen and had three runs in the UK including an apparent 33/1 surprise win in a handicap chase at Bangor where he was a very easy winner. The handicapper took note of that performance and put the horse up from 130 to 142 but he still managed to finish a close second in a very competitive handicap at Uttoxeter with the likes of Pretty Star, Pablo Du Charmil and Exmoor Ranger all behind him that day. This season his trainer has decided to focus him at the Cheltenham Foxhunters and he has been successful in two point to points and is likely to be at the head of the market for that race once the runners are known. An entry in the Grand National look ambitious on the face of it, especially for such a young horse with little experience of British fences but it could be that this is a very classy performer who could be someway ahead of the handicapper's current rating and the Grand National could be the ultimate way of exploiting this. Bit of a dark horse ths one, must be in with a chance if it runs. |

Offshore Account 50-1
OUR THOUGHTS: Returned from a fifteen month lay-off in 2009 due to injury and made a satisfactory comeback that season running three times culminating with a run in the Grand National where he was in the lead approaching the 2nd last but weakened badly to finish fifteenth. Was a prolific scorer in the 06/07 season where he won five races, including a four-timer over fences. Ended that season by springing a surprise in the Champion Novice Chase at the Punchestown Festival. After four runs in the 09/10 season he finds himself eleven pounds less in the handicap than he was when running well in last year's Grand National and at ten-years-old it's not impossible to seeing him bettering last year's performance on such improved terms. |

View Profile Matched Hedgehunter in finishing runner-up after winning the National and like that great horse just found the extra weight against him when losing out to Mon Mome in 2009 after taking the lead between the last two fences. Not impossible to believe that he could regain his title if the handicapper relented slightly and much will depend on Phil Smith's view and how the horse performs between now and the publications of the weights for 2010. Likely to have his season totally geared to Aintree once again and should definitely not be overlooked as another Aintree placing at the very least looks very possible.

Our Vic - 66-1
David Johnson has had some great horses Our Vic must rate up with the best. Most horses would do well to win one race like a Reynoldstown Chase, a Paddy Power, a Charlie Hall, a Ryanair, a Totesport Bowl or a Peter Marsh but this twelve-year-old gelding has won all these and seven other races as well. Apparently as good as ever as he approaches his teenage years, the Grand National now apparently figures on Our Vic's radar and whereas stamina appeared to be an issue in his younger days he certainly seems to be seeing out his races much better in later life. Usually quite lightly raced each season but has already visited the racecourse six times this season so might not have many more runs between now and Aintree if he is to take his chance in the Grand National.

Babyholland - 33/1
Smart and versatile gelding, trained in County Down by Colin McBratney, caused something of a shock when winning the Galway Plate back in July at 16/1. After that McBratney stated that the Becher Chase might be the next target but instead the son of Tiraaz waited until January for his next run, a novice hurdle at Naas. The lack of a run for nearly five months did not appear to inconvenience Ballyholland who kept on well to record the fifth win of his career when winning by just under two lengths from Mr Cracker. This latest win pushes his career strike rate up to close to 33% and he looks a horse to continue to follow but with no wins over 22 furlongs it remains questionable if he would have the stamina for a race like the Grand National. Two wins in his early career at three miles in point to points may give hope to his supporters about his underlying stamina but four defeats at distances over 22 furlongs on the racecourse must call into question his ability to stay a trip.

Eric's Charm
Confounded doubters when winning his last race at Newbury as had become known as something as a right-handed course specialist. Has been given a mark of 143 for the Grand National and his offical mark has now risen to 149 so is theoretically six pounds well in if he races at Aintree. On a hat-trick of wins after winning the London National at Sandown and the aforementioned Newbury win came in a top-quality veterans race where the likes of Trabolgan, Knowhere, Gone To Lunch and Ellerslie George were all behind. His career has been ear-marked by his enthusiastic front-running style and exuberant jumping, something that may well stand him in good stead at Aintree. The supposed preference for right-handed tracks remains a concern with eight of his eleven wins coming that way round but if that can be overcome then he looks to have an excellent chance, although has had one race over the National fences in the 2008 Topham and came down at the sixth fence --- Very weird as he has been probably my biggest winner of the year at Newbury!! Although AP was on board... it's destiny though!!!! :D:D:D |

Ballyfitz
View Profile Started his career with Nigel Twiston-Davies with two wins in Novice Hurdles in 2005 and was booked in to go over fences the following season. Unfortunately things went badly wrong on his chasing debut that year and it was decided to revert to hurdles as his jumping of the larger obstacles had left much to be desired in his first outing over fences at Cheltenham. This turned out to be a good decision as Ballyfitz went on to win three more hurdle races before returning to fencing including the big prize of the Pertemps Hurdle final at the Cheltenham Festival in 2008. The following season he started off with two wins in Novice Chases and it looked as if he was destined for top honours but unfortunately his jumping problems returned and three further outings produced no more wins. The 09/10 season has seen him well fancied for the Paddy Power and the Hennessy but an encouraging fourth in the former led to more jumping problems in the latter. Twiston-Davies sent him back over hurdles again for a confidence boost and this seemed to do the trick as he ran out a good winner of a decent handicap hurdle at Sandown but again jumped stickily when put back over fences in the Welsh National. Given his history of jumping errors it would take a big leap of faith to have confidence in him navigating his way round Aintree.

Whinstone Boy here...
Spotlight: Lightly raced over fences and looked well handicapped before the Thyestes Chase based on his hurdles mark and so it proved with an all the way victory in that valuable handicap. Followed that up with another win at Clonmel two weeks later and that win has pushed his mark up to 138 and into the realms of horses who may get into the Grand National but it might be that he could fall a little short this year. It would be a shame if he fails to make the race as he hails from the same stable that guided Monty's Pass to Grand National victory in 2003. If he were to miss out on the National would be a very interesting runner if given his chance in the Topham. This will get a few £££'s from me though SMorning is my Antepost bet at 33/1... |

Big Fella Thanks
View Profile Went off at 14/1 for last year's Grand National but unfortunately maintained the long losing record of seven-year-olds when finishing a respectable 6th, some twenty-three lengths behind Mon Mome. Considering you have to go back to Bogskars victory in 1940 to find the last seven-year-old that did win the National we should only look positively on the performance of Big Fella Thanks as he looked as he if he was really going to have a say in the business end of the race when moving into contention at the fourth last. However, his exertions just took their toll and he weakened from the second last. He was ridden in the big race by Christian Williams who had this to say afterwards: He'll be a year older next year, and perhaps on softer ground you never know. He's only a baby and although he got a little tired over the last three he was a pleasure to ride. 'He's got a little cut on his hind leg and that may have made a slight difference, but if he improves again and comes back with a nice weight next year he could go close.' This has to be seen as an impressive performance from a horse with such little experience and he will be at the top of many punters shortlists for 2010. Any fears that he would be aggressively campaigned in 09/10 to increase his experience appear to have been quelled with just one run prior to the weights. His supporters may be glad about this as any major rise up the handicap would push him into a weight territory for the National that may prove insurmountable. He started this season off 150 and has been given 146 in the National and you would therefore hope he will prove extremely competitive in 2010, especialy after his eyecatching victory over an inadequate trip at Newbury recently.

Silver Birch Odds and Grand National Form2007 Grand National winner who returned from nearly two years off with injury to show glimpses of his old form and, perhaps, indicated enough to his connections to suggest that he should be given another chance at the National itself in 2010. The problem is that he is now thirteen-years-old but he was still going well when coming down at Bechers on the second circuit last year and then went on to run Cross Country king Garde Champetre to two lengths at Punchestown. He obviously retains a lot of his old ability and as he has still only had nineteen races over fences so perhaps Silver Birch could bow out on a big win?
