The 2025 Grand National

[Mr Whatoxo]

Can any one remember if any bookie went 7 let alone 8 places last year ? I thought those days were gone, especially after the field was reduced to 34.

I expected 6, possibly 7 but not 8 places.

I don’t know for sure, but I do recall bookies being more stingy with place terms the last couple of years.

I am going tomorrow, I will be in the festival zone (lol), does that come with my own private seat .

Does any one know of a horse that will definetly win or at least place at 5/1 or bigger, for each of the races . Come on The Fortune Teller you must know .

I've placed 40 pounds sterling each way on my cliff horse Dr TJ Eckleburg ante post.

He might drift in the betting as his better form is on soft or heavy. That said, he won on good to firm on the flat, albeit in a mickey mouse race, and he's won on good to soft previously over hurdles and fences.

So it's one of those Alex, if the perceived negative of decent ground, could be turned into a positive, I still think he'll be running on well at the finish.

No guarantees though, sorry.

You have a great day tomorrow.

Sky Bet regularly offer more places but it’s at the expense of the win price. Outsider often points out that the likes of Bet365 will do likewise if you go to their site. I sometimes do accept the compromise but I can’t with Sky. They only take football bets off me. I think I would take 80/1 eight places rather than 100/1 seven places but could never be arsed doing the maths to see if it was the right decision. The race would be over before I’d worked it out!

He's been tipped by Ben Linfoot in the Sporting Life.
