[The Market Man]

Soll was 38th both at the five day stage and on the day last year.

Anything to read in Mullins' horses no longer being jocked up on the Racing Post ?
Walsh's name removed from Boston Bob.

Hope that it results in Bishops Road getting in then

Regarding the Mullins horses, maybe he is changing his plans, with all the forecast rain

On His Own also has entries in The Scottish National & The bet365 Gold Cup

Sir Des Champs also has entries in the above races, plus the Topham on Friday.

Boston Bob is also entered for the first 2 mentioned races.

Ballcasey has entries in the Topham & Scottish National

I feel Ballycasey would do better in the Topham.

I have watched him a few times and he doesn't look a Grand National horse to me. I went against him in the Thyestes Chase because I thought he would struggle to get home on the very testing ground.

Watching him that day he definitely seemed to get tired and once he was headed he weakened out of it pretty quickly.

I can't see the Grand National being a trip that would suit based on evidence so far.

bet365 just updating with their big offer for the weekend. Refunding (as cash) half of a losing Each Way up to £125. That's pretty nuts value you'd be mad not to take it.

Considering getting it on Silvinaco Conti if he drifts today or tomorrow at all.

I have been nibbling at VIEUX LION ROUGE and he gets in at no36 with a lovely racing weight a vastly under-rated jockey aboard in the shape of James Reveley.

Really fancy his chances round here, don't think Pipe is sending him up for the countryside.

It's not on losing Each Way bets.....They are refunding half your stake on ALL Each Way bets up to a certain time on saturday and as you do say up to £125.

I have just posted a further update of my trends based blog (link below) now that the final declarations have been published and have applied 4 additional filters to reduce the original qualifiers to a short list of 5 confirmed runners, plus a reserve.

Looking for a 100/1 shot who might just plug on through the soft to grab a place....or more

17:15 Grand National 25 EW Aachen (AntePost) 100/1 bet365

May not be a forlorn hope on soft going and seems to be improving at the very sprightly age of 12! Won at Cheltenham by 17l on soft in December off a mark of 133 over 26f and then showed that was no fluke by finishing a 1/4 length behind Soll on heavy at Sandown off 146 next time out. May well do well if it remains soft or heavier as he has a record of 2-1-1-3-PU-1-4-3-PU-1-1-1-1-3-1-1-5. The 5 was his career debut in France and the two pulled-ups were seasonal debuts. Never fallen, won over 3m+.
