April 8, 201610 yr I've backed Gallant Oscar @20/1 and Holywell @16/1 both to win. Apparently its all about the stats and these two fit the criteria. What's everyone backing?
April 8, 201610 yr I'd have thought the National was one of the races where stats went straight out of the window. I'm on this beast E/W at 50/1 Just A ParJockey: S Bowen Trainer: P Nicholls Age: Nine Weight: 10st 6lb Produced an extraordinary finish to win the Bet365 Gold Cup last year, beating Vics Canvas and Le Reve, seeming to relish the marathon distance. Fairly handicapped on 7lb higher now and easy to imagine a similar effort carrying him into the argument, although horses that need extreme hold-up tactics can get into trouble in Grand Nationals. First two (weak) runs this season came at a time when the stable was faring poorly. Back to form last month with a second place at Exeter, giving a stone to the winner and without usual blinkers.

April 8, 201610 yr I usually back 5, 2 of which I think about firm etc, 3 where I just like the name. I've had more luck in the past with the latter.
April 8, 201610 yr First Lieutenant Shutthefrontdoor Not decided on other 3 yet Did they not run last year

April 8, 201610 yr Their are some trends that you see over time in the GN For instance age of horse - 9-11 is the sweet spot, not many older or younger win Also weight - not many win carrying 11st 6 or above However last year many clouds defied both of the above so it must have been doing something right I'm on just a par as well at 50's - not decided the rest yet
April 8, 201610 yr For those wanting a punt on a horse with a Wanderers Ways connection would do worse than looking at Garage Dwarf Sex Pest @ 33/1
April 8, 201610 yr In no particular order The Druid's Nephew Sir Des Champs Aachen The Last Samuri Avoid these as I'm betting on them, so this means they'll all probably die or break legs or both
April 8, 201610 yr Romford Pele will piss it. Romford is where the Stranglers are from and Pele is coming back to Bolton. I've done my homework, now watch this space
April 8, 201610 yr Sir Des Champs for me. Bet365 are refunding half your stake on each way bets as well. Which is nice of them.
April 8, 201610 yr All about goonyella Some mad bloke in town today told me he'd sold one of his kidneys to lump on it. Worrying thing is he was as yellow as Homer Simpson and was wearing an oxygen tank on his back with tubes up his nose like the kid on ET.
April 8, 201610 yr Sir Des Champs for me. Bet365 are refunding half your stake on each way bets as well. Which is nice of them. Smoke and mirrors Your better off with bet victor who are paying out EW 1-6 vs BET365's 1-5
