2022 Grand National

[Slim]

If the O'Learys are correct in Tiger Roll being badly handicapped, doesn't that put Delta Work too high off 160?

Don't get me wrong, I quite like the price and the fact that PP goes short at 10/1. It could be a good ground National so not unreasonable for a classy top-weight winner.

I don't believe anything the O'Learys say. If Tiger Roll was running off 163 he'd be 11/2 now.

 

[Slim]

I see that now, Slim. I don't understand why it wasn't in my records.

That said, the form last week is more in line with its form since Feb 2020.

I suppose it's possible that when it was beaten in the Gold Cup they decided to see what mark they could get into the 2022 National with.

Right now, I'm not convinced but at least it's on my radar now!

I'm still keener on the list I put up a while back.

The race has a really good feel to it this year. I'm really looking forward to it. We want horses like Delta Work beinn in the mix.

I always have the proverbial 'localised high blood pressure' for the race!

 

[Outsider]

He's mad tempting at 14/1.

Sky are offering 35/1 delta work to win GN and 2023 cross country.

 

[Desert Orchid]

So that's just better than 2/1 for the latter?

About 11/8 isnt it.

 

[Desert Orchid]

Yes, you're absolutely right, Outsider.

That would make it all the less attractive.

Slim, Ontheropes has been scratched today. Sure you mentioned him earlier in the thread.

Thanks for that. I'd have really fancied him before the Tuesday scratching for the National Hunt Chase.

I would think all in for next year's Hennessy.

Not in the betting for the irish national so yes ,the Hennessy.

Horse will need a proper break. No need to risk on good ground at Fairyhouse.

 

[Desert Orchid]

78 left in at today's forfeit stage.

The only one of mine scratched is Itchy Feet which I'd only stuck a quid on at 336 on the exchange so half-presumed it wasn't going to run anyway.

Does anyone know what the set back/injury is?

Bad cut when going for a canter morning of Cheltenham. DG posted about a horse getting a bad one, one of Mullins, safely assume it was Ontheropes

It's when it changes from racecard order to the betting show.

 

[Desert Orchid]

Not on mine.

Not on mine.

Very strange.under the horse there is a circle with an X in it but the 4 that were feint had a black X and if I pressed that black X they went back into the race.
Anyway they are still on oddschecker.

That’s a feature of the pro card - tick the x to eliminate it from consideration (ie: stick down the bottom half hidden) and when you’ve finished your process of elimination you’re left with your short list.

Have backed Hill Sixteen and Highland Hunter today.......with the absolute bare minimum of enthusiasm.

Thanks for that BJ.
