    If he can cope with the fences this time and avoid trouble, Goonyella will be a major player.
    Best of luck creepy.

    Gone for all three of peanuts outsiders. Only small bets this year.

    Fingers crossed johnny. Convinced there will be a real surprise package today - hope I've steered us right.
    All the best.

  • Couple of £5 to win flutters on.....
    Gallant Oscar
    Boston Bob
  • I'm going to keep a very close eye on Goonyella first circuit.
    If he's negotiating the fences OK, he'll be seriously interesting to back "in running".
  • Gone for Goonyella and Vics Canvas, all the best peanuts great thread.
  • Cheers cafcsinger. All the best.
  • Alice Plunkett on C4 saying it's the softest since 2001.
    Stamina, stamina, stamina!!!

  • Okay, bit of a weird one today.

    We have a cat that comes to visit. It's called Bloom. Fucker sits around most hours of the day, steals some food, then goes back home. Bloom, if it was the starting word on a Scrabble board, scores 18 points (for the double word).

    Horse 18 is AACHEN. This particular horse has not only been tipped by Peanuts, but is owned by - TONY BLOOM.

    Got a couple quid e/w on him at 100/1 or something. So many signs.
  • IT's RAINING!!!!

    Back Sir Des Champs yesterday and now ive just seen a Doris is now on board.....just my luck. I'm so confident it won't win that I've given the slip to my wife and told her she can have any winnings.

    Just backed Saint Are.
  • Must be a really hard GN to watch for Donald McCain today, having bought and formerly trained both The Last Samuri and Kruzhlinin.
  • Backed all of yours peanuts as usual. Also backed the following no hopers for the missus (which I paid for);

    Morning assembly
    Soll
    Ballynoujour
    Last samurai
    Holywell

    Good luck!

    I used to be his PA if that's another connection....Tony not the cat or the horse.

    Nina is a top jockey, and better than most men

    I won't hear the end of it! She just reminded me of when we went to Epsom and she backed 1,2 3 in the Derby..
  • Thistlecrack what a specimen.

    Good name as well!
  • 50/1 shot just romped home by 10 lengths!
  • So is Goonyella the most benefited from the soft conditions?
  • Sod it. Gone all in on a quad-cast of Peanuts choices.
  • Not really

    The wife, five and two year olds and mother in law all picked a horse and left me with one pick. Was hoping they would pick some of peanuts but alas we now have a slip of each way bets on:

    First Lieutenant
    Rocky Creek
    Last Samuri
    Wonderful Charm
    And I chose Vics Canvas for mine.

    On any other track YES.
    BUT he's run twice over the course.
    UR at first fence
    9th 45L in Becher Chase last Dec on Soft (favoured ground). Racing Post analyst commented: "He didn´t fancy the National fences much ..... and was in trouble around halfway."
    HOWEVER, maybe 3rd time lucky?
    I'm keeping a close eye and if he's coping I'll back him in-running to Win as a "saver".

  • The wife has picked, Buywise and Rule the world both 50/1 and Daughter has picked Black Thunder 66/1.
    Good luck all, and cheers peanuts.
