Aintree Grand National Meeting 2011 : Mon Apr 04, 2011 12:23 pm  

Well guy's - just a few days to go until the Aintree meeting gets under way. Really looking forward to it - looks like there are some superb races on Thurs and Fri.

My tips at the moment for the National are: Silver By Nature, West End Rocker, Midnight Chase (if runs) and Our Monty.

Good Luck All.

Let's hope that no horses die this year.

What tvvat at Sky decided on us having a 3.15 k.o at HKR on Saturday?

Can't wait, the Saturday is always quality. Usual plan is a few beers, try and win a bit on the novice races + Aintree Hurdle, then scatter a few quid on my National fancies.

May try and catch the Thursday and Friday too, depends if I can get in & out of work early. Otherwise will be a Sky+ job.

I need some quality picks for this, more the Thursday & Friday. I'm happy to take a helpless punt on the National.

The wife is away the weekend, going away for her 30th. I've probably got about forty quid to have a flutter on the Thursday & Friday. I'm hoping with you fine men providing me with winners galore, I'll be collecting and then, well y'know ... having a decent laugh whilst she's away,.

I fancied Frankie Figg for the big one, never seen a horse jump the national fences like it!

However it's now down to run in the Topham on Friday, I'll be hammering it!

Fascinating battle ahead between Big Bucks and Grands Crus in the Meeting opener on Thursday. Carlito Brigante also in the race. Difficult to ignore Big Bucks but Grands Crus has a great chance again after Cheltenham.

I'm liking Carole's Legacy to turn over Denman in the Totesport Bowl (AP on board aswell).

Can't wait - the first Aintree meeting I'm going to miss in 4 years, so i'll be busy in the Bookies.

Anybody know which Bookies are doing 5 places for the National?
