20/02/26 3:45 Exeter - The Devon National System

 

1st Largy Poet 5/1 - 55

2nd Art Decco 11/2 - 50

3rd Jubilee Express 11/4 - 45

3rd Gold Clermont 12/1 - 45

 

As you can see, this race is extremely close.  Largy Poet just pipped it in the stats, which is a worry as he is top weight, luckily Paul Nicholls has employed the services of the very useful Freddie Keighley who claims a valuable 7lb. He is 2/2 at Exeter so thats a positive, he also won on heavy here which is helpful seeing as the conditions will be testing. His stats on heavy are 1, 1, 2. There are a lot of boxes ticked here, except this distance, but he looks like he needs a big stamina a test. The addition of blinkers for the first time is notable.  

Art Decco won this last year, so we know conditions and distance are fine, along with the course. The biggest worry is that he is 6lb higher however, with Largy Poet in here, Art Decco gets to carry 1lb less than he did last year. Don't rule him out!

Jubilee Express loves soft but is 0/2 on heavy which is a little worry but not too bad as you cant make too many assumptions based on 2 runs on heavy. The stats don't scream out that this race will suit, if it dries out then yes, the distance is fine and the track should suit also.

Gold Clermont might run well here, we know she stays as she has come 4th in the Eider on heavy ground before, although she hasn't won going right-handed before, but then that is only 3 runs going right-handed. She does come her with a lovely low weight and she could run a nice race

My Selection: Largy Poet 5/1

05/04/25 4:00 Aintree - The Grand National System

4:00 The Grand National  1st Vanillier 10/1 - 60 2nd Minello Indo 25/1 - 55 3rd I Am Maximus 13/2 - 50 4th Chantry House 100/1 - 45 5th Bravemansgame 50/1 - 40   This system has done very well for National horses in the past, however it is important to bare in mind that this is all based on stats and trends. So a horse who has won the race before is slightly favoured. So it does come as a little shock that Vanillier came top.  Vanillier was 2nd in this race in 2023 off 147, and why im highlighting this race as that day it was good to soft that day as it will be on Saturday, he is rated 147 this time and in 2023 he carried 10st 6lb. Everything is the same as 2023, the only difference is he is 2 years older. His run last time out was much better than the 3rd, as they jockey nearly took the wrong course and dropped right back in the field. Last year it was soft ground, he carried 6lb and it was a lot harder, this year there are more things in his favour. Minella Indo a forme...
