Cant see it mentioned anywhere but Victor Chandler paying 1/4 for 6 places.

Finians Rainbow at 2:15 to make some money to play with in the National.

Had a fiver on Cue Card. Couldn't really split the top four in the betting. Glad Drive Time is ok what a sickening fall.

Spirit Son was brilliant.

Cue Card did very well to place, no pace so pulled way too hard and then the mistake.

Hadden Frost said Calgary Bay is very honest.

He asked the horse if it was gonna win the Grand National, and thinks it muttered back 'no'.

TBH if he completes he surely is talented enough to be involved. Happy with my four though.

Yeah, Tizzard had a lot of work to do didn't he. Hit a couple of hurdles clumsily too. Doesn't seem to have much speed, didn't show a turn of foot last time either, but has a good enough engine.

Got a Finian's and Binocular double on, + a couple of singles.

Ghizao travelling really well thought he was gonna do it but Finian's kept travelling and that poor jump from Ghizao knocked him out of his stride.

Come on Binocular......

I, and several others can't deposit on Victor Chandler, and haven't been able to for at least 2 hours now. I placed my bets before it seemingly went down without issue, but I was going to put a bet on for a friend, but the deposit/chat isn't working at all.

Also struggling as well - must be huge site traffic.

Only realised that the free bet will only be credited on Monday as well which is a bit rubbish.

Binocular disappointing, travelled ok but found nothing. Woulda backed Peddlers had I not backed him so can't complain.
