Great work Dave love the videos u put lot effort in mate

[@declanobrien5242]

Fair play to you for doing all that research

[@markchapman2933]

The Grand National is the easiest race to make a profit on. So many once a year gamblers, so many don't understand how the race has changed, so many mug punters following "trends".... "It wants to be 8 or 9 years old". These two ages have enormously outnumbered those younger and older... Therefore you can expect more 8 and 9 year olds to have won the Grand National.... Also, since the needed changes to the fences, trainers have been running more younger horses. More 7 year olds running means there will be more 7 year olds winning the Grand National than there used to be.

[@anjou6497]

Yes, tho he had a very hard race in the Ch. Gold Cup, it can take it's toll.

[@markluxon5044]

I was there on gold cup day. Walking back down the chute after the race he was exhausted

[@markchapman2933]

"At some point" yes. Once he's been given enough. But Corach Rambler won last year with a lot more in hand than it might look, because he idles quite badly when in front. Difficult for the handicapper to know how much he had in hand... And has proved he's worthy of a far bigger weight by improving his form to be 3rd in the Cheltenham Gold Cup... Coming into this race again as the best handicapped horse in the field. ie His improvement means he is more than capable of carrying the greater weight.

[@trevormeeks4084]

Only 3 of the top 6 are running this year so if you ignore vanillier he won't get round twice it's between the two previously winners not a lot between them this year but if it's a slog PANDA BOY. STATLER and MISTER INCREDIBLE MUST ALL GO CLOSE

Limerick Lace would have a good chance if staying the trip. Was 2nd to Coko Beach over 3m but is effective at 2m4f. On good-soft maybe would have a chance.

I keep coming back to Coko Beach. I get the fact he's been beaten twice in the race, but I think he's matured into a better horse this year and will love the heavy ground. Obviously, he will have to give away a lump of weight, but his run in the beecher and troytown were really solid. He was around a 3/1 shot for the cross county at Cheltenham before they voided the race, and now he is 40/1 here. Massive price.

[@spindrifter7519]

I agree. I just hope the going stays soft. On yesterday @ 40s

[@markchapman2933]

Coko Beach has led the Grand National field twice and failed to stay twice. Has on a couple of occasions this season been ridden differently. Only racing handily in the Troytown and held up in the Becher... So there is a possibility that with more restraint might stay. But only might. I'd say most likely not. Got there going well enough in the Becher but barely got home over 3m2f. Failing to beat the 11 year old Chambard. The X Country he won in Ireland was 3 miles.

I would just posit that Chambard's performance that day was exceptional, which even vets are capable of once in a blue moon and no doubt the 22lb he received from Coko helped (5lb Claimer as well).

[@markchapman2933]

"You don't want a horse who's already run in the Grand National and not won". The handicapper (the bloke that allotted the horses their weights) used to give more weight to horses who've run well over the unique Grand National fences. ie If two horses were thought as good as each other but one had run well over the course... then the horse with experience would be effectively punished by being given more weight. The new handicapper no longer does this. So horses with form over the course now have a better chance than previously.

[@nathanwhitehouse8237]

Maybe. End of the day if you can jump well then the fences shouldn't be an issue. They are big but good jumpers will manage. Good jumpers generally use less energy aswell. Irish like using the cross country at Cheltenham to train but it was abandoned so good horses may have not shown their quality yet

@@nathanwhitehouse8237 Forget Exeter, the race came too soon after Warwick and her best form is on left-handed tracks. She stays, she acts well on very soft ground and she jumps well.

Nassalam will obviously love bottomless ground. But the Welsh Grand National form is not working out. Did win by a street but the second and third have disappointed since. Iwilldoit won the Welsh Nat' the previous season, but his subsequent form this season suggests he did not run anywhere near his best in third. Nassalam had ground conditions in his favour at Cheltenham and although 3m2f is a bit short for for him these days, should really have done better if he's to defy a mark of 161 at Aintree. Some 16 lbs higher than Chepstow.

But this season has brought no improvement on the jumping front, Even in the Bobbyjoe he often jumped left-handed and slower than Vanillier. closing back up only on the flat. Form books tend to summarise too much. This is how I saw his round: Jumped left throughout, stuttered into the 2nd, put in a short one and mistake 8th, slow 9th, 10th and 11th (each time knocking him back briefly in last position), slow at next two, badly left 5 out. Challenged between runners 2 out, led soon after. Going clear without much effort when a difference of opinion with rider at the last, putting in a short one and mistake, jumping left and slow. went further clear run-in.

Like Stattler ,he hasn’t a high cruising speed and needs to lay up early in race .
