15 .40 aintree tomorrow....

Scotsirish should anyway he was 2nd last year.

In an open looking race i'm going with Noel Meade inda first..trainer seems to think a lot of him ..ran well up behind First Liutenant and Zaidpour and not beyond the bounds of possibility that in spite of a stable downturn Noel Meade could have a decent priced winner at a big meeting..jockey in good form..ground may bring improvement..win and place [;)]for me then ..

Ballyholland must have agreat chance. the horse ran great for 2 1/2 miles in last years national(check it out on BBC website, in the inside with the light colours), likes good ground and has dropped in the handicap a few pounds. If this horse is ready to go it should go close.

BALLYHOLLAND/CHASING CARS/ SIEGEMASTER . WATCHIN IN PUB[:D]

That is one competitive racecard!
I`ll have a nibble at Oilily in the opener but I don`t expect to find many winners. 
I said to a friend before his reappearance that I`m sure Dev was only getting ready for the Topham, so I can`t desert him now off 10st.

unlucky there giant ..hit 1.30 in running .....

mon parrain for me. only a 5yo but jumped very impressively on his debut in sandown. didnt beat much but very eyecatching and could have a decent handicap mark.

the fact ruby rides him , he must think it has a big chance mitch      ...he has enough weight for a 5 yo imo....

Not having any luck wr.
Thought it was a poor ride. Got chopped up turning out of the back. Ran around the whole field and sent it in too soon.
3 2nds and a third since. Pain in my hole.

mon parrain is the best jumper of a fence ive seen in a while.
looked like he didnt stay but he won over 3m in sandown last time.
i suppose the weight caught him out. he can only get stronger.

was surpized he sent it on so early ..remember backing it at punchestown ..still thought she was on the right side though ..still unlucky mate and a very good pick ..keep it going.. only messing myself trying to keep the tank full for my trip to the uk soon ..had £40 on master minded backed a 6/1 inner of gosdens for a score and backed scotsirish to place for a score and got £93.59. for my score ..so tipping along nicely ...

unlucky mitch ..looked stone wall cert turning in ...weight did it for him alright.. some jumper ....

Good work wr.
I was going to back Handy Andy in the next. Couldn`t be arsed now.

Olily would have got a better ride off a 7lb claimer imho,got squashed a bit just before turning in and lost the head completely.

Fair play to the Gigginstown connections with QDLR as the ground appeared to be all against it here.

agree punchestown.. coulden't have him either on that ground ...davy rode a cracker...

keyaza is interesting in the mares bumper. impeccably bred by azamour out of key change who won a yorkshire oaks for john oxx. makes her a half sister to pittoni.
won on her debut by 12L.
can you believe she was bought for only 7,500 back in november. even if she had a few vices she was still some bargain as a broodmare prospect.

wow .. a few lads over on the breeding forum will be kicking them selfs ...she must have been a snip at that kind of money....
