I'm at Aintree tomorrow to experience the overly brown skin, the blonde hair thats just a bit too blonde, and the skirts that are shorter than Sprinter Sacre's price.

And that's just the girlfriend!

Anyway if anybody can give me anything at a decent price it would be much appreciated, had a horror show today! Have already backed Rocky Creek though, I love the horse.........
 
Iv already put on a multiple of MTOY/Dynaste/SS/At fishers Cross so 1 of them is certain to be beat.

I fancy Centasia to reverse form with the 2 at the top of the betting, the ground was terrible that day and with a quick surface he could be well in with a shout at a big price. 14/1
Cotton Mill will like the ground tomorrow and ran a decent 3rd in a grade 1 here last year(the race prior to this) he had a lump on his back at Cheltenham and was out paced but has a nice racing weight tomorrow off 11.3 and is back up in trip and hopefully O'Regan gets a decent tune out of him. 8/1
 
Also, COME ON CUE CARD. 13/8 w/o SS looks lovely to me.
 
Got to have a spin on Our Vinne who I backed when brought down at Cheltenham.
 
why oh why are they running AT FISHERS CROSS at Aintree tomorrow

Do you, like me, think the ground and flat track may not suit? Even though I do think this to be the case, I can't see what out of the oppostion is going to beat him!
 
Nothing to be gained from running here Joe especially as like you say he will not appreciate either track or going. Just put him away for next season as they should have done with one of their Cheltenham winners last season!
 
True enough Stick, never really thought about it like that.

Do you have a view on the mares bumper? Not a clue about races like that
 
There is nothing to say At Fisher's Cross wont handle the ground, i dont think they have ever withdrawn him from good ground have they? I dont think they would run if they didnt think he would be ok. Rocky Creek wins tomorrow. Gold cup horse next year and should outstay Dynaste here. My Tent or Yours wins and ill be having a decent sized bet on flemenstar without SS
 
One serious selection for me tomorrow and that is BARBATOS 4.50 Aintree 12-1.
I know a lot of people fancied him at Cheltenham and he performed with great credit despite not getting the best of runs. He has been dropped a pound for that effort and I think he has a great chance tomorrow. He is a C&D winner and conditions really look in his favour.
 
As stated above I've already backed Rocky at 5/2 for tomorrow, he's another I've backed all season, and I'm not prepared to have another horse I've followed beat me (Zarkandar today!).

Do think My Tent or Yours should be a skinnier price actually, and could represent a bit of value unbelievably at 1/2. Will have him in a few multiples with SS and AFC.
 
No surprise here -

Tartak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Down further in the weights and I think he will go with the early pace, if he jumps with relish he is very well handicapped. Look what Hunt Ball did today and he was further back at HQ.
 
After today I was sure it was a favs day! But tomorrow has to be in the big races! Will be on tartak tomorrow too nass! But also on Little Josh they were hoping to get him in the national but didn't qualify this is more his company after racing in aome higher grade races jumps well and stays so will def be there
 
Two for me tomorrow with write ups to come

3.40 Aintree Gullible Gordon 20/1
4.50 Aintree Manyriverstocross 16/1

Many Rivers was 16 when I added him to my comp selections 90 minutes ago - best I can get with real money is 12 <steam>
