Grand National tips / fancies

Holywell
Sir Des Champs
Gallant Oscar

Last years winner ( Many Clouds) is being tipped heavily as well Last Samurai
 
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 :D

Its got to be Just A Par for me

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 😀
