I do put a lot of effort into them but i have been so busy, it was hard to fit everything in. So i am sorry if you have followed and been let down. I hope to make it up to you today though. I have spent a long time looking at this race and i feel sure i have found something. Now obviously it depends on the horse, but if i am right he should go ...

The Grand National Preview. 1.   Imperial Commander – Top weight and former Gold Cup winner, had been off the track for 2 years because of injury, but came back in impressive style when a gallant 2 nd to Cape Tribulation in the Grade 2 Argento Chase, he was favourite for the Gold Cup when a bug hit the yard and he got a lung infection. So he has come here without another run, but this horse has a lot of class and cannot be dismissed. Sam Twiston- Davies takes the ride for the first time, and he wouldn’t want the ground too soft. The odds look a little stacked against him, but his class alone could get him round, and he could be the first horse to do win the Gold Cup and the National since L’Escargot in the 70’s. **** 2. What A Friend – I have to admit to not fancying his chances. He has been over the fences 3 times now. He won The Silver Bowl 3 years ago and the fell at the 2 nd in 2011, he then came back to the Silver Bowl and came 7 th . It’s not the stable...

Straight From The Horses Mouth Grand National Join Together -   “Join Together would be one of the leading chances. He has been trained just for the race. He ran really well in the Becher Chase at Aintree. We haven’t run him all winter while the ground has been bad. “We followed the same route in a lot of ways as we did when training Neptune last year. He has been around the course and he has got a bit of class. We want to give him a big shot.” Paul Nicholls What A Friend – “What A Friend is a good horse and he ran well in the Gold Cup that year he won (the Bowl) at Aintree. But when he ran in the National two years ago you can put a line through it. He had had a very hard race in the Gold Cup when he was fourth – probably a career best – and horses that have a hard race there don’t run particularly well at Aintree. And in hindsight it was probably a mistake to run him. “If we can get him really fresh and he runs nicely he is definitely a player in the race because h...
