Irish grand national

uk has fav and you scrub aline through 90% of the elliot entries,most running on ratings achieved yrs ago,but hey their qualified so we,ll run them, if he,d got younger better handicapped horses with better chances he,d scratch half of these old plodders,once again just a numbers game

you dont get many 100 to 1 shots in the national these days but elliott currently has about 10 66,s to 100 to 1+ shots in the betting

These old timers are the punters worst enemy. Half the time they won't put it in so they drop down the handicap.
Then one day they feel like it and win half the track.
Next time they run it's back to the plod plod not today thank you.

Unless they're running consistently you don't know how they're likely to go.

British Irish we still wont back the Winner ffs.

I rarely look at big fields. If you follow form then you need to look at them all, which takes too long.
And there will always be unexposed horses running especially if the prize is big. 

I understand these well handicapped runners are the kind that pricewise tips.

In that case, what they haven't done, is more important than what they have done.

Which makes a nonsense of looking for those with the best form.

And one less now 3under35 has gone the way of the trainer's wishes rather than the owner's .
