The Grand National

On Saturday.

Anybody got any good tips?

AP McCoy on Shutthefrontdoor perhaps?

How many horse will get put down this year?

Had the winner last year.
Tipped it for Scott and he won a few quid.
Not saying a word this year.

Here are mine:

Bob Ford

One Night In Milan

Oscar Time

Rocky Creek

Spring Heeled


Absolutely no science involved in the selections, as with the National being a complete lottery, anything can win, as we all know.

£2 E/W on each, might as well have stuffed twenty quid down a grid.

But you never know.........

i've gone for Rocky Creek as my one to win and then First Lieutenant, Godsmejudge and Royale Knight as my each way bets

Godsmejudge
Rocky creek
Shutthefrontdoor
Many clouds
The druids nephew

Plus an accumulater on the footy again

Oscar Time.

Rocky Creek or First Lieutenant (or any of the other 38 horses).

Cause of causes will win it

For a bit of fun I'm going with Many Clouds as it will have a silver lining I'm sure!  

I wouldn't go for Spring Heeled, that one won't win as it will be like Bucking Bronco!

I've gone for Soll E/W
Mrs gone for the fave, shutthefrontdoor to win

I don't  really gamble so who is the best online bookmaker to use?

Suggestions please.

Head says Soll, Unioniste and First Lieutenant to be there at the end but it also says bet on whatever the pin lands on.

They're all much of a muchness to be honest.

Take a look at this link, see who's offering the best price for the horse you fancy and go with them:

Alternatively, you could walk the 300 yards from your gaff to the Done's on Manchester Rd and stick a bet on in person.

I'm not really a gambler but would have been great if I had put £50 down!

I backed it yesterday @ 40/1. Also did Oscar Time @ 50/1. I'm quids in.
The speed we drove back from the game made me fear I'd never collect.
Not a happy journey home.
