The 2016 Grand National

Because much to your dismay probably, it's not my kind of bet. It's only been the past 4 years that I've made a healthy and consistent profit and that coincided with binning the multiples. I know many make them pay but for me it's a case of why change a winning formula ?

My above double is purely a £10 e/w fun bet.

Onenightinvienna is a very interesting runner as a 7yo novice. I strongly fancied him for the NH Chase but Hobbs withdrew him to target him at the National, a bold step. He jumps really well and looks a strong stayer. You'd have to forgive a below-par run at Ascot last time but he seemed to go off too fast and it at least got him a 2lb drop in his mark. His form, especially with Blaklion, stands up. If he can get over the first few fences, he could go really well. Runs in the West Tip colours.

I haven't backed the winner since they made the fences suitable for Shetland ponies but my 4 against the field would be:
The Last Samuri
Many Clouds
Morning Assembly
Shutthefrontdoor (assuming that Saint Barry doesn't do 'a Don't Push It' and jump ship to the Martin horse at the last minute)
 
" it is 16 years since his last winner on English soil. That was Quadco in Aintree's Champion Bumper, with a seven-pound-claiming amateur rider called DN Russell up top"

That made me smile, cheers for the link Granger.


My top 5 in order of preference

Many Clouds <-> The Last Samuri (struggling to split these two)
Morning Assembly
Saint Are
The Druids Nephew


Silviniaco Conti could be thrown in and he's one of my favourite horses in training so I daresay I'll throw a few quid at him too out of sentiment but I also think he might struggle to get home and is that low, cat like jumping style so suitable to these fences, even with the recent reductions in height ?

they also match best price for the other major bookies from 10am saturday
 
If they really fancy Bishops Road (1st reserve), the owner could buy the horse (forgotten it's name) that's in a sale tomorrow evening and which holds an entry, and withdraw it.
 
Paul Moloney on board Buywise
Happy with that, Accepting that he won't win I couldn't ask for a better pilot to get him in the places
His first 4 record in the last 7 years is second to none.
