    Is it a right-handed thing with him?

    Irish National will take some getting today .............

    He didn't look like he was disliking the left handed Cheltenham, just under-performed on the day.

    Veneer of Charm, to not quite answer Chelsea ..... his Fred Winter run was baffling to be sure, but I think that was his pinnacle (substances?) Today saw more like his true form.

    Maybe the occasion got to Getabird at Cheltenham, put him on his toes and made him much too free? Might be one for the old earplugs <ok>

    A bit disappointed that Let's Dance couldnt finish closer, but Townend chose the right one and at 12-1 the place I'm happy enough :)

    Very intelligent ride from Townend, swerving between the markers on the inside rail to get on unraced ground the whole way round.

    Question: Does Davy Russell have the pick of Elliots runner's?

    Looks like front runner ground. Who is a front runner in the national?

    I don't think Elliot has an official stable jockey, uses all sorts but Davy does get a lot of good rides for him. Not sure what the arrangement is though

    Coney Island pulled up. Wonder what's gone wrong since he won first time out this season.

    Stinker day from Geraghty, makes me think he'll win the national

    12 out of 30 runners are from Gigginstown in the Irish Nat. I'm plumping for Folsome Blue.

    I watched that race thinking "Who is this Attoy Fill horse" <laugh> Dessie and French pronunciation

    Might have been an interesting finish had Doctor Phoenix stood up, we will never know

    Ooft. Treble is in and it's not an inconsiderable return.

    Milky Bars are on me, chaps.

    Reebs mate still some nail-biting for you but 3-1 for the Owls puts us pretty much safe I reckon
