Mall Dini is a non-runner for Doctor Blind.

 

I hope it's fair that I redraw the nine which includes the replacement Just A Par

 

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.

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.

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.

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.
