My approach next year should be to spend no time whatsoever looking at the race, just watch it and enjoy it, possibly have a small interest. I spent a considerable time looking at and thinking about the race, but as with every National since the 2013 changes, had a pitiful return (small ew on Meetingotthewaters) from reasonable investment. Prior to 2013, this had been a very productive race for me.

On Friday night, I spent 3 or 4 minutes studying a 5 runner chase at Newcastle, to produce a 25/1 winner (25p rule 4, after non-runner reduced field to 4).

Will I learn this lesson? I doubt it very much.
