Hey Ho...Here we go. Let's have your tips for the National this Saturday.
It sometimes throws up a fairy tale like it did with Bob Champion and Aldaniti.
This year is no exception with Dream Alliance running, bought for next to nothing he was on the scrapheap. Earlier this year he won the Welsh Grand National.
Personally, I like Eric's Charm who will give them a good run at 60-1.

    If there was one called "Beat the second" I'd bet on that.

    don't bet on the ones i've picked in the sweepstake at work....mine always fall and quite often at least one has ended up being put down

    I almost didn't pick this year because I didn't want another one on my conscience

    Sorry Ollie Magern & Hello Bud looks like this isn't gonna be your year

    could be your lucky day cos my dad picked that one and he has a habit of his horse being near the winner (though not won many :roll: )


    hubby would choose 'irish raptor' - no prizes for guessing why if you've read my other thread :wink:

    I'll choose 'Character building' cos maybe that's what Arthur is for me

    and maybe we could save 'arbor supreme' for Ange cos the name makes me think of her.

    I seem to have missed your other thread. I normally get the one that gets withdrawn at the start :lol: Heres hoping then, I only watch the re run as I cannot stand it if any of the horses get hurt. A bit contradiction when I have bought a ticket. :roll:

    Oh dear,I have to go watch it at the outlaws :roll:
    I usually win but mostly 4th place :shock: doesnt even cover the bet.Worth a few quid though as its anyones race.
    I remember years back my mum bet on Andy pandy & he fell.she went mad :lol: as she'd been told to bet on him & put quite a bit on it..I was only about 8/9.or i lie about me age :lol
    Good luck for all betting for tomorrow.
