The Grand National 'Gun to your Head' Thread

[Desert Orchid]

OK, folks.

It's pretty obvious from the race thread that many of us take the 'portfolio' approach but this thread a radically opposed approach.

I have a gun to your head and you must name ONE horse to win the National.

No each-way poncy sh1t. No fannying. No rationale or provisos (eg, "if it stays", etc). Any infraction of any of those rules and I pull the friggin trigger.

Simply name the horse that WINS.

I'll start...
