I was going to back that last week, but, I thought I'll wait until I see how much dough I've got after Amsterdam.

Could've got 40s last Wednesday, I think its into 25s now.

Trainer seems quite confident it'll get the distance which was the only thing putting me off a bit!

Irish Invader also for me. It has won over 3 miles on hurdles, ground maybe an issue as best form on soft or heavy however also won on better ground.

Think I will join you on that selection. Had a wee look on At the races earlier on and that one looks like it has decent form and a good weight.

As an outsider going to go for Golden Flight. Barry Geraghty is the jockey on that one and he always seems to do well in the National.

Mrs Vein has chosen Darkness as the winner because of the nice pink colours

looks like it has a decent chance though!!

If anyone is looking for a bookie paying out on more than 4 places I've found Boylesports paying out on 6 places

Rambling Minster
Darkness
Kilbeggan Blade

**Brando7** · 03-04-2009 01:57 PM

Took current fav my will @ 9/1

With Walsh on board this a confident bet

Trainer says it "Stays longer than the Mother in Law"

**Perth Hibee** · 03-04-2009 05:09 PM

You know what, I may just tell my Faither in Law that when he asks for backup to my tips for the race

Butlers Cabin, was cruising last year before falling 2nd time round at Bechers.

Brooklyn Brownie, like the trainer, if it starts getting backed this morning jump on, trainer himself known to like a wee touch.
