As some people may know on Saturday 6th April it is the Randox Health Grand National at Aintree.

Would anyone be interested in taking part in a possible sweepstake where you get a horse chosen at random?

Can cqmerqn get the winner again?

Let me know if you are interested on here.

About:

Came agonisingly close to winning this race last year when just failing by a head to reel in Tiger Roll. Fourteen years since the last Willie Mullins Grand National winner but this lad could break that run.


21) NOBLE ENDEAVOR (IRE) 10 10-10 (Mark Enright) Gordon Elliott IRE 33/1

About:

Has won valuable handicaps in the past. Not seen much in last couple of seasons.

11) BALLYOPTIC (IRE) 9 11-01 (Tom Bellamy) Nigel Twiston-Davies 33/1

About:

Useful novice last season who finished fourth in the RSA Chase and was just beaten a whisker in the Scottish National. Looks the type to keep on improving.

About:

Successful over hurdles and fences this season, won Listed Chase at Newbury in December and the Grade 2 OLBG Mares Hurdle at Ascot in January.

9) LAKE VIEW LAD (IRE) 9 11-01 (Henry Brooke) Nick Alexander 14/1

About:

Improving chaser who won his first two starts of the season before finishing third at the Cheltenham festival.

About:

Solid jumper who was the impressive winner of this year's Becher Chase

Posted by: Mack. 4th April 2019, 04:16 PM

Jade:


24) TEA FOR TWO 10 10-09 (Lizzie Kelly) Jane Williams 66/1


About:

Beat Cue Card in a Grade 1 on the Mildmay course here at Aintree two years ago and has been campaigned at the highest level since, finishing 3rd to Might Bite in the King George.


15) ROCK THE KASBAH (IRE ) 9 10-13 (Richard Johnson) Philip Hobbs 20/1


About:

Won a big handicap at the Cheltenham November meeting and connections immediately nominated the Grand National as the big target.

16) WARRIORS TALE 10 10-13 (Harry Cobden) Paul Nicholls 40/1

About:

Winner of the Grand Sefton over these fences and wears the famous colours that have been worn by three previous Grand National winners.


1) ANIBALE FLY (FR) 9 11-10 (Barry Geraghty) Tony Martin IRE 10/1



About:

Very badly hampered at the first fence last year and so did really well to eventually finish fourth. He is worse off at the weights in 2019 but definitely a major contender. Runner-up in this year's Cheltenham Gold Cup.

6) GO CONQUER (IRE) 10 11-03 (Sam Twiston-Davies) Nigel Twiston-Davies 40/1


About:

Fabulous jumper who could be one to watch if he can get an early lead


2) VALTOR (FR) 10 11-06 (Daryl Jacob) Nicky Henderson 33/1


About:

Made a huge impact on British debut when slamming a good Ascot field by eight lengths.

40) JOE FARRELL (IRE) 10 10-0 (Adam Wedge) Rebecca Curtis 25/1


About:

Winner of the Scottish National last season off a 7lb lighter mark, stamina aplenty!


14) ONE FOR ARTHUR (IRE) 10 11-00 (Derek Fox) Lucinda Russell 20/1

About:

Brilliant winner two years ago but then missed the whole of last season with a tendon injury. One of the most impressive National winners of recent years and, if back to his best, must have a great chance of doubling up

31) VIEUX LION ROUGE (FR) 10 10-06 (Tom Scudamore) David Pipe 33/1


About:

Course specialist. Has completed the course on all six occasions over these fences but appears to find the distance of the Grand National against him


8) MINELLA ROCCO (IRE) 9 11-01 (Richie McLernon) Jonjo O'Neill 25/1


About:

Owner and trainer have both won the Grand National before. Could be dangerously well handicapped. Runner-up in the 2017 Cheltenham Gold Cup

3) TIGER ROLL (IRE) 9 11-05 (Davy Russell) Gordon Elliott IRE 7/2f


About:

Last year's hero and a four-time Cheltenham Festival winner, in various disciplines. Better than ever this year. Capable of moving owner Michael O'Leary to tears so shouldn't be underestimated in his quest to be the first horse since Red Rum in 1974 to retain the crown. Lot of weight for a small horse to shoulder. Price far too short.


30) SINGLEFARMPAYMENT 9 10-06 (Paddy Brennan) Tom George 50/1


About:

Frustrating staying chaser, who travels strongly and performs consistently but usually contrives to find at least one rival ahead of him at the line. Rare below-par effort last time at Cheltenham, where he has a good record. Untried at marathon trips but likely to stay. Course debutant. Highly strung so preliminaries could be an issue, too.

Posted by: Mack. 4th April 2019, 04:39 PM

Doctor Blind



38) CAPTAIN REDBEARD (IRE) 10 10-03 (Sam Coltherd) Stuart Coltherd 33/1



About:

Not at his best on any of his three attempts at this course, even managing to decant his jockey at the smallest Foinavon fence last year. Otherwise a consistent chaser, if mostly a shade short of his very best this season. Difficult to construct a compelling argument.


25) MALL DINI (IRE) 9 10-08 (Sean Flanagan) Patrick Kelly IRE 20/1


About:

Talented but still without a win in three seasons over fences, albeit he won over hurdles at the Cheltenham Festival back in 2016. Reliable jumper and often travels strongly. Unproven over marathon trips but likely to stay. First-time blinkers conjured a career-best when second in the 2018 Kim Muir but no headgear now. Potential place player.

Posted by: Mack. 4th April 2019, 04:42 PM

bigwiglaf-


35) LIVELOVELAUGH (IRE) 9 10-04 Willie Mullins IRE 50/1


About:

Best of his form coalesces at around 2m4f. Although he’s one-paced at that trip, his stamina for this task is also highly suspect. Unable to get truly involved over 3m2f at the Cheltenham Festival last time. Sound jumper. Course debutant. Hard to fancy.


22) MONBEG NOTORIOUS (IRE) 8 10-10 (Sean Bowen) Gordon Elliott IRE 50/1


About:

A decent novice chaser last season. Steadily back towards peak form this season. Stamina for this task in some doubt, however, having twice tailed off over marathon trips including when last of eight finishers in last year’s Irish Grand National. Course debutant. Would have preferred a headgear switch.

Posted by: Mack. 4th April 2019, 04:45 PM

King Rollo




12) DOUNIKOS (FR) 8 11-00 (Jack Kennedy) Gordon Elliott IRE 33/1



About:

Form unravelled as a novice chaser when latterly highly tried last season, including when pulled up in the Irish Grand National. Back to form last time over a staying trip at Punchestown, shaping as though capable of better. Fell on his penultimate start but usually jumps soundly. Said to require a sound surface.


32) VALSEUR LIDO (FR) 10 10-06 (Rachael Blackmore) Henry de Bromhead IRE 66/1


About:

Former three-times Grade One winner. Reliable jumper. Ran far better than his distant eighth in last year’s National suggests, up there pitching until his stamina ran out from the home turn. In lesser shape this season, despite cheekpieces being applied, so handicap mark appears a touch out-of-date. Staying remains an issue, too.

Posted by: Mack. 4th April 2019, 04:51 PM

Brett-Butler:


13) RATHVINDEN (IRE) 11 11-00 Willie Mullins IRE 10/1



About:

Jumping took a long time to warm up prior to winning last season’s NH Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. Smooth success to win sole start this season but in a small-field edition of the Bobbyjo Chase. Course debut will test whether his errors truly are a thing of the past. Perfectly feasible handicap mark.


37) FOLSOM BLUE (IRE) 12 10-04 (L P Dempsey) Gordon Elliott IRE 40/1


About:

Veteran staying chaser getting his first crack at the National fences. At his best over marathon trips when testing ground places an extra accent on stamina. Disappointing when a never-involved last of six finishers in the Midlands Grand National on heavy going last time out. Prone to losing his position and that’s hard to recover here.

Posted by: Mack. 4th April 2019, 04:53 PM

PeteFromLeeds:


20) JURY DUTY (IRE) 8 10-11 (Robbie Power) Gordon Elliott IRE 20/1

About:

Already a Grand National winner in name only, having travelled to America and won Far Hills’ valuable hurdles event of the same name last October. A consistent novice chaser in good company last term, he returned to action last month with a career best. Utterly unexposed as a staying chaser. Usually a sound jumper. Major contender.


7) MALA BEACH (IRE) 11 11-02 (Jamie Codd) Gordon Elliott IRE 50/1


About:

Lightly raced and bit below his best this season. Stays further than three miles but pulled up in the 2016 Irish Grand National on his only attempt at marathon trips. Course debutant. Jumping can lack fluency. Others better treated. Much rain required to play to his strengths.

Posted by: Mack. 4th April 2019, 04:57 PM

27) ULTRAGOLD (FR) 11 10-07 (Tom O'Brien) Colin Tizzard 33/1


About:

Dual winner over a short course of these fences in the last two Topham Chases and feasibly handicapped. Versatile ground-wise. Creditable third in the 3m2f Becher last December, sticking on at the one pace, but stamina stretched over further at Warwick. Pulled up in Cheltenham’s cross-country event last time.



29) UP FOR REVIEW (IRE) 10 10-06 Willie Mullins IRE 25/1


About:

Not atypically below his best at Cheltenham last time, so respectable effort therefore. Shaped promisingly when hunted round in third behind more prominently ridden rivals in the Thyestes prior to that. Unexposed as a staying chaser. Plenty of stamina in his pedigree. Course debutant. Small suspicion he might be better going right-handed.

Here we go:

33) VINTAGE CLOUDS (IRE) 9 10-04 (Danny Cook) Sue Smith 12/1

About:

Third in last year’s Scottish Grand National. Improved again this season, including a rallying second in the Cheltenham Festival’s Ultima Chase last time following surgery to correct his breathing. Made mistakes in his earlier days but more reliable now. Course debutant. Likes a flat track. Versatile ground-wise. Another leading chance for National-loving owner Trevor Hemmings.

Posted by: Rooney 4th April 2019, 08:45 PM

i'm in if you have any left!

Posted by: Mack. 4th April 2019, 11:12 PM

Rooney:

28) BLOW BY BLOW (IRE) 8 10-06 (Andrew Ring) Gordon Elliott IRE 66/1

About:

Won over hurdles at last season’s Cheltenham Festival. Handicap mark viable only on that latent ability. Has not taken well to fences this term. Pulled up on two of his latest three starts, including in the Leinster National last time, and otherwise badly out of sorts. Headgear, old and new, hasn’t helped. Perhaps surgery to correct his breathing will. Makes mistakes. Course debutant.


34) GENERAL PRINCIPLE (IRE) 10 10-04 (J J Slevin) Gordon Elliott IRE 25/1

About:

Blossomed recently over marathon trips, winning with his final stride in a messy finish to last year’s Irish Grand National. Bettered that form when stepped back up in trip at Punchestown two starts ago. Lost all chance with a shuddering blunder at Cheltenham last time. First spin over these fences. Claims if his jumping holds up.

Posted by: Sarah 5th April 2019, 12:31 AM

If you have any left count me in

Posted by: Mack. 5th April 2019, 10:25 AM

Sarah:


26) STEP BACK (IRE) 9 10-07 (Nico de Boinville) Mark Bradstock 25/1


About:

Lightly raced and unexposed under Rules. Emphatic winner of the Bet365 Gold Cup. No doubting his stamina. Represents the shrewd Bradstock team, who achieve greatly with a small operation. However, has jumped right twice at Chepstow and also in Warwick’s Classic Chase last time. Course debut. Left-handed orientation unlikely to suit.


39) BLESS THE WINGS (IRE) 14 10-03 (Robert Dunne) Gordon Elliott IRE 66/1


About:

At the age of 14, the father of this National. A sprightly third in last year’s edition, despite unpromising preceding form. Similar comments apply this year, given he soon lost his position in the Cheltenham Festival’s cross-country event last time out. On the same mark as 2018, so this likeable stalwart is unlikely to better himself.

Posted by: Mack. 5th April 2019, 10:46 AM

Hope this explains things:

The last three years have worked by if you got your horse, you could put the money on the horse and see what happens. It's a sort of a way to help anyone who is undecided on the race. I hope that explains the concept around it.

Remember if you having a flutter, always take the price it is at.
