Anybody got any thoughts on this? At a quick glance Snowy Morning, Big Fella Thanks and State of Play stand out for me.
Looking at Black Apalachi,Character Building & Maljimar but looks really open this year(get your pin out).
Looking at 3 in particular and though I won't see it I'll hope to see it later. GOING WITH Big Fella Thanks, My Will and Black Apalachi.
Black Apalachi has too much weight I think (11-6), especially for an 11yo. My Will is one that is overpriced @40/1, form a bit dodgy though but I think that goes out the window to a small extent for a race like this.
I really fancy Snowy Morning though, can't see any horse that much higher than 11-0 winning (My Will (11-2) certainly still has a good chance I feel though, down 2lbs from last year when he finished 3rd). Down from 11-8 last year, where he finished 9th, to 10-13 this year. Also 3rd the previous year at 11-1. 10 year-old which is a pretty good age going into the race and is a proven stayer and also top of the speed ratings.
Cerium@66/1 is one that escaped my radar, 5th last year off 10-5 and is at the same weight again this year. Poor run in the Gold Cup this year but was the same last year before the Grand National.
Ballyholland has never lost a race so Im told! 28/1 I had to take that e/w!
Irish Raptor is worth an e/w punt. It's a lottery anyway so why not!
Of course he's lost a race. :DQuote:
