    Lol!! I think when The Weasel posts, he does so with tongue in cheek!! No need to be so sweary about it, your vocabulary not up to much old boy? I don't come on to pick fights, I'm just tired of the mediocre (such as yourself, admittedly it seems you are going through a purple patch at the moment but doesn't the saying go "If you throw enough ****, some will stick") seeking adulation and I like to put people in their place :)

    Rainbow, I enjoy races even when I don't have a bean on, I just love the sport, amounts really don't matter, I was just making a point and throwing down the gauntlet to Bob.

    Morning lads from a bright but chilly Aintree - a stiff easterly breeze blowing straight from the Urals. Just finishing this pint then into the course to snap some piccies, get the placepot on and get ready. Hope everyone has a great day.

    9/1 looks good value SBC. Spurs are obviously playing well lately but Basel are no mugs and have bags of European experience, at the price they would def be worth a few quid for value.

    Im going to put this out there in bold, Wayward Prince 50/1, 2 from 3 at the track, one of those a Grade 1 novice hurdle impressively, the other slamming Quito(10/1 here) and subsequent grade 2 hurdle winner Across The Bay earlier in the season, albeit in receipt of a fair amount of weight from the former. Poor run last time in the Gold Cup but if he brings his A game here he is not a 50/1 shot in this field I can assure you. He laso ran well when second to Conti in the Charlie Hall first time out and lets not forget, a 50/1 shot won this last year.

    I dont get why some on here are all so excited about Grandouet and not a mention of Zarkandar other than too slow... There isnt a lot to choose between Grandouet and Zarkandar and with Ruby Walsh and blinkers fitted today you will see a sharper Zarkandar. Ive just placed my bet at 6/1 e.w .

    Have also done a small each way bet on Boxer Georg at 16/1 in the 3.40pm.

    Most of them have pretty much been confirmed, just go onto racingpost.com and click cards, then click Saturday, and click on the 4.15 Aintree :biggrin:

    I'm all for a harmonius forum, however I would agree with Drever that some are able to challenge others when they say something they don't agree with, and other 'lesser members' aren't, not trying to stir anything up, just an observation.

    Would also say that there are some unbelievable tipsters on here, and that Stick is one of them, I myself do stake three figure bets from time to time if I really fancy something, but apart from that I'm mostly a small time punter, and am happy with that because I love the sport first and foremost. I don't do bad on the whole, and have even been known to have a couple of betting accounts restricted, but God only knows why to be honest.

    KS / BB if I am way off the mark with your aliases been the same person, I apologise, but from the few private messages I received when I first flagged it up, I wasn't the only one!

    Anyway the drawing of a line is what I'm happy with, good luck to all punters today!




    Except Boston Bob..............;-)
