Gaillard Du Mensil 14/1 (PP/Betfair) hasn't been confirmed as a runner but anything 9/1 or bigger looks massive value. His form is stacking up and he looks a classy boat of a horse. I could see him going off 11/2f. He's entered in a Grade 1 novice chase as well but the National is x5 the prize money. With Stattler scratched last week it just makes sense for him to go for it.
 
Guessing they might run Enjoy d’Allen in this given his first fence unseat yesterday. Assuming all’s well with the horse that is

Will the weights go up 7lb.
Looks like franco port being topweight.if he doesnt run then they could go up 10

Ontheropes blue on oddschecker Slim.
 
I've also just realised that Ronald Pump is running in this. Are they stark raving mad? He will NEVER get the trip. I have more chance of finishing that he does. Seriously are they stark raving mad?

Also anyone running anything that ran in the GN wants shooting.
 
I haven't had a bet yet but the one that appeals to me most right now is Fakir D'alene (25/1).

I reckon there's a handful of real longshots in the race worth keeping onside.
 
Off you go 25s
Velvet elvis 25/1
Time to get up 25/1
Frontal assault 33/1
Streets of doyen 66/1
Mister fogpatches 20/1


If Velvet elvis wins I will put on my blue suede shoes on get all shook up.its now or never.

I see GDM as a similar type to Latest Exhibition in last year's race.

Similar type (apart from age), similar level, similarly handicapped, likely to run a big race, likely to be vulnerable to a bandit.

I'm holding off on bets for now, mainly because the ones I like are decent prices and last year a lot of the outsiders were pushed out quite wildly during the morning of the race. Right now I don't think the bookies are giving much away.
 
Gdm off 154 tomorrow, Latest Exhibition was off 153 so yes, apt comparison. Our Duke was also on 153 though so it can be done.
 
If the handicapper was to do thr ratings again for the RSA he'd be upgrading the first 5 home. He's thrown in off 154 and the more rain they get the further he will win.

Why? Just because AS came out and won well at Aintree?

That's tenuous at best.
