39 Captain Redbeard,agood horse but does not like these fences.

veux lion rouge ,had his chance before when younger ,pulled up last two runs as well.A definite no from me.38.

27. Ultragold. Colin Tizzards string are struggling at the moment and are certainly not in peak fitness.

In descending order folks from 40 not racecard number thank you so 35 next!

Outlander
Gone at the game and still high in the weights.

Tiger Roll,no back to back winner since RR and Skinto has backed it.

34 Tiger Roll--Because skinto has backed it is not a valid reason, if we want to get to the most likely top 4 please put a valid reason.

lostintranslation dots up in grade 1, tizzards must be crying about lack of form, ffs

think you need to look a little deeper into the tizzard form, lostintranslation is the only horse that doesnt seem to be affected by some sort of virus. His horses have been poor since January. one swallow doesnt make a summer.

So long as people come up with what they think is a valid reason we'll stick with it or we'll be questioning everything towards the final 10 or so!

LiveLoveLaugh not a great jumper and doubtful stayer

32 Valtor.Too much weight for what he has actually acheived.

Just 1 go each at the moment Snowy, if come 1hr before race we haven't got 39 picks i'll reopen it so you can have another go, don't want to leave it too late to get the winner!

Last one up is the winner imo.

Right here we go:

Joe Farrell: utter joke that this is now under 33-1, total lay. As this thread says win and 4 places layed. Not a hope. (NAP)

Tea for two: Lady jock poor stable so out of form it would struggle in a sellrt (NB)

Blow by blow: his chancers are blown before the start

Valseur Lido: Why oh why would you run it in this flopped last year will flop even more.

Ultragold: So over rated jumps fand think hes a frankel, joke entry.

Monbed notourios: lol lol lol god knows why people are backing this.


The horses you have to be on.

Last post its between Lake View Lad, Rathvinden and Jury Duty

Rathvinden wont win, Ruby can't get over the last

third and fourth

Not bad

The best horse wins - no argument here.

Great great horse enters the hall of fame.

Think we got 2nd 3rd and 4th in last 5 pretty good, now who is the pillock that put up Tiger Roll!

Glentoby

SHAME ON YOU

Think of the trifecta we could have had if Glentobyjug hadn't put the obvious horse up early from last 5 horses! Or if the Tiger hadn't finished, well done everyone, i backed the 4th and 5th.

nice one Stewarts got the 5th for small beans..
