I've had a final dekko at the field and I'm fast coming to the conclusion that this could be a National for the ages.

Class horses, reasonable ground and the prospect of pace could see a host of horses in with chances coming into the final mile and a lot of them still there two out, like last year but I'm looking forward to see if the better ground actually causes them to thin out in the latter stages as the real class kicks in.

In a field of 34 I reckon any one of 30 could win (so get yer money on the other four!) and, for once, I feel as though I won't really mind of I'm not on the winner. It's just going to be a terrific race, hopefully with no hard luck stories and may the best horse on the day just win.
