I was convinced Burrows Saint was gonna win the National in 2021, but it looks as if the race almost finished him ...... sad to see he still going around and being comprehensively hammered in the Irish Pointing fields - he should have a comfortably armchair and his hooves up in front of the fire...

Unlucky

Tom Segal's Pricewise pick for the Lincoln is Lattam Paul Kealy's Lincoln selection is Magnum Opus

Lope Harswell is now as now as 12/1 and no bigger than 20's from an initial quote of 66/1 when odds were released for the opening race, one for some EW cash today is Justice Twice ( still a little 25/1 left ) ........ but it's anyone's guess in a field of 17 debutants.

Fingers crossed if you're backing Beringer ........I couldn't myself given his past issues and time off the track, I would say he needs more help from the handicapper too, he's only 4 pounds lower than his last win almost six years ago - that said if he is anywhere near his form when dead...

Apparently the Mildmay course is already Good - Good to Soft in Places.

I stick by what I said the other day, Thursday is likely to be Good to Soft and by Saturday it will be riding very close to Good. All depends how much they put on, but they surely can't over water. The course is looking great at the moment.

Justice Twice interests me a little 28's yesterday and 25/1 generally today, trainer has had two winners recently from as many runners ......... I would sooner chance two or three at big prices than go for a fav in a race full of debutants

Have been out for a good chunk of the day, but would have put this up earlier. It is somewhat of a guessing game in this race but I was advised by somebody in the industry to have an EW interest at a similar price ...... with 4 places on offer the 33/1 with Sky - Ladbrokes and Coral may shorten...

Don't be put off by Jockeys having their first ride in the race, a few that spring to mind that won the race on the first attempt = Ryan Mania ( Auroras Encore ) Niall ( Slippers ) Madden on Numbersixvalverde , Jason Titley ( Royal Athlete ) , Liam Treadwell ( Mon Mone ) ....... there must...

I think one thing that is overlooked by some, is the fact that since the race distance has been shortened along with the modification of the fences is that the race is generally run at a quicker tempo. I don't know the stats ( maybe someone has the figures ) but how do the injury & death rates...

'' Good '' safe jumping ground is not dangerous, tacky going hinders jumping and is potentially worse ..... as I've said they will aim for G/S on Thursday, will most likely water that even to hopefully maintain G/S but with NO rain forecast it will be close to Good come Saturday. The Going...

I'm not that far myself - just over the other side of the Mersey. Not long back home from there ........ the Going is currently '' Good to Soft '' ( soft in places ) ...... I'll be amazed if it doesn't dry up a little at least.

From Tuesday through to Saturday of next week there is no rain forecast to fall, they can't over water in fear of producing tacky going - which may possibly be more dangerous than '' Good '' ....... they will aim for G/S on Thursday - will water in the evening to try and maintain that, but by...

Has shortened because of the likely ground conditions.

Over the years the Irish National has produced the Aintree winner a few times I Am Maximus Numbersixvalverde Bobbyjo All spring to mind ........ Irish National winners to be placed at Aintree include Ebony Jane and Burrows Saint to name just a couple Intense Raffles won the Irish version...

They will water to keep the going safe, but there is not huge amounts of rain forecast up until raceday. The going will be Good to Soft on the Thursday and probably on the Friday, they may well declare it G/S for Saturday but it is certain to be nearer Good ...... the genuine SOFT ground runners...

5.00 Wincanton Albert Park .... EW 9/2 is my first racing bet ( other than a National ante post ) since Cheltenham, will double my stake IF Sky go 9/2 ( currently only 7/2 ) as they are paying 4 PLACES

I used to update the trends each year, age - official rating etc for the past 20 years, but now the race has been cut to 34 runners it alters matters somewhat. The race is attracting a better quality field and you will need to be rated 146/147 this year just to get a place in the line up. Looks...
