The health and safety brigade have reduced the National to just a valuable long distance handicap and taken the spectacle away. The fences are much easier exemplified by yesterday?s Topham when 23 finished with only one faller.Pretty certain a quality horse will win today.

Yep it has been sanitised to death

Just another race in the calendar

Law of averages Willie Mullins he's had 1st 3 winners at Aintree today I'm going on he can't win everything so be avoiding his runners in the National.

Pure comedy gold

Mullins went in with one of the outsiders of his runners no one on here selected it so there's no winners. Mine are only selections my only gamble is the lotto.

A winners a winner doesn't matter too me what they've done to the national or value/prestige of any race.

I wouldn't say no one here selected it. 😛

Just looked at the official ratings for the 1st 2 in today's race winner 4pts lower than the 2nd but getting 4lbs so in theory had the same chance in the race shouldn't have been that far apart in the betting.

Didn't look at the ratings before the race but one of my selections Iroko rated 15 pts below what finished 2nd today but getting 13lbs which again in theory wasn't enough to finish in front of that.
