The weights will be confirmed on February 14th so i think it is time to start this thread. If Peanuts returns he can give us the benefit of the famous model but until then has anyone got any comments? I think The Last Samurai will be top weight and Don Poli will be withdrawn as he is more likely to be aimed at Cheltenham. An alternative to finding the winner is to lay a loser on Betfair. With this in mind i backed Just A Par at 170 and put in a lay offer at 100 which i am sure will be taken in due course.

No offence to len90 but it does seem a bit Sandy Toksvig replacing Stephen Fry.
Don't want to find out what you've been taking
Don't want to read about the love you're making
Don't want to hear about the lives you're faking
Don't want to read about the muck
(but we do really need your Grand National model)

Three dead horses were found dumped in Charlton within two weeks.
Two horses were found in a car park in Springfield Grove on Saturday morning (February 4), in a parking space between two maintenance vans.
They were malnourished, neglected and unkempt, with their ribs showing.
Two weeks before another dead horse was found at the entrance of Charlton Athletic Football Ground in a similar state.

Mind you that obnoxious owner of Ryan Air does have three of the top four in the race and a dozen or so in total so it's not as if he's struggling for options.
If peanuts doesn't make an appearance in this thread then I'll be found out as a fraud down my local.
I'd have gone from the font of all national knowledge, quoting weights, distances, going, times and all sorts of stats to having virtually nothing to say on how I came to my picks.
I have to say when we went about 10 years ago it was the best day's
racingfighting I've ever seen.Those Scally's really do like a punch up. Chav Central . You looking at me ?
Houblon des Obeaux .. 10-7 .. Venetia .. watch out for the jockey booking
The Young Master .. 10-8 .. Mulholland could be due a big winner
Carole's Destrier .. 10-12 .. as above
If the Irish didn't have this nasty habit of "hiding" their horses' true form Smith wouldn't have to allot them higher marks when running over here.
