Cloth Cap is proven over the marathon trip. Class Conti has never run further than 3m1f before. The fav also won 2 and placed in 1 good race(s) this season. In saying that Class Conti has placed in a few decent Irish races and looks lime he could be a bit of a stayer over longer so it's worth a couple of pound at the odds.Quote:

I think in him and Monmiral we have seen 2 star chasers of the future this week.Quote:

I appreciate cloth cap will surely be the better horse given the odds and that my age/weight method isn't the best but it's all I've got. :greengrinQuote:

I'm going to have a wee wager of Roksana in the next. That's based on Thyme Hill maybe not being 100% and Paisley Park having had a hard race at Cheltenham.
Tell us you backed it!Quote:

I backed that too, did well to avoid the faller, never in much doubt after that.Quote:

Yala Enki £10 EW at 40/1Quote:

Fifty quid and that's it. I don't go big on the National, where anything can happen.
Aw man. That was a golden opportunity.Quote:

I should have been there today, carried over from last year.
Maybe next year!
I had Jett at 100/1 - clearly tired but what a lead he had/blew!
The best in the business does it again.
Jett gave me a good spin for my money at a price.
Some bookies were paying 7or 8 places so you might still get a payout. I was on with SkyBet so will get something.Quote:

Well done, mate. Fantastic moment for Rachael and for the sport. She really is a talent.Quote:

Have they confirmed all the horses got home safe yet? I did see the screens go up on the 2nd circuit but looked like it was for a jockey (who I obviously hope is OK as well).
I think 365 only went to 5 as standard. They were offering up to 10 but at lower prices.Quote:

Had a fiver on Blackmore. :aok:
I saw a badly injured horse at the back on the 2nd circuit.Quote:
