Any good tips for the national , I've been given Boston Bob and Morning Assembly, so far :thup:

 

[ColchesterFC]

Surely on a golf forum the only option is Just a Par.

 

[Blue in Munich]

I'd go for Creosote. Apparently goes great over fences.

Spoil sport:ears::rofl:

Anyway just been given another 3 tips, Two Billy, Silviniaco Conti and Buywise .

So far that's 8 possible winners

up until about 5 years ago based on trends you could rule out over half the field based on various common criteria each winner had.

however, in recent years a French bred horse has won (very rare), a few carrying over 11st (rare again) have skewed these stats.

add to that the compression of the allocated weights means that very few runners run off bottom weight of 10st or out of the HCP, meaning it is getting harder to pick the winner (i know that sounds ridiculous in a 40 runner field)

for what its worth i think the winner will come from the following

The druids nephew
Saint Are
Goonyella
Soll
On his own
Just a par
Rocky creek
Maggio

as i say though, a lot of usual GN trends have been broken in recent years, so this poster accepts no responsibility if any of the above don't win, don't place, don't finish or end up in your microwave lasagne

Its got to be Just A Par for me

 

[williamalex1]

Good stuff that's now 16 possible winners

 

[road2ruin]

My shotgun approach means I'll be backing....

The Last Samurai
Saint Are
Morning Assembly
Ucello Conti

Whoa! I'm having enough trouble figuring out who to spend money on at the Masters, then you tell me this. Were getting to the point where you're going to tell us there's 40 possible winners. 😃

Watching the Amateur race over the fences now how the hell can a horse be 13/8 in a race of this magnitude

Looks like the Grand National fences have become a little easier.

I've backed Just a Par (for obvious reasons),Silviano Conti.
The Mrs has backed Holywell (we used to visit Holywell Bay on holiday) and Vieux Lion Rouge (she once worked in a pub called the Old Red Lion

That's 20 different tips so far :rofl:

 

[sawtooth]

I will be backing A Splash of Ginge

It's weird but we stayed in Brighton last weekend and when driving out my youngest said something very random 'there's a lot of people in Brighton with ginger hair" and proceeded to count them.

It's clearly a sign 😀

 

[Dan2501]

I got Rule The World in the sweepstake at work. Not looking great.....

 

[HowlingGale]

That's 20 different tips so far :rofl:

So if you back all 20 of those tips does that mean you have a 1 in 2 chance of winning?

 

[arnieboy]

The Romford Pele will score tomorrow as I have just drawn him in the sweep!
