I don't usually post early previews of races, would rather wait until final fields are declared, but with not a lot on for National Hunt racing until Cheltenham now, and the weights being released... well, regular contributor Jon da Silva, @creamontop, felt like bashing the keyboard for a few hours to come up with this early look at the field.
-------------------------------
The National
Used to be easier than working for a living the National - look for back class and a weight of 10 stone to 10 stone 7lb - now sadly it requires work and luck. Race is run on a flat circuit of just shy of four miles four furlongs and comprises 30 fences. Slow horses even ones who on most tracks would be favoured by the distance can get a long way behind on even softish going. Class even back class important for me even if last year's winner was marginal.
However once again I question why unsound old horses are entered notably a few owned by J P McManus entries and trained by Paul Nicholls or David Pipe. To me this is not a day out race and soundness, big field and distance form helps.
Unless you strongly fancy something, 66/1 appears to be the Bookies' price about horses who are 400s on Exchanges as well as genuine 66/1 shots. Check prices before betting.
Order of Entry - Form - Name - Age-Imperial Weight - Ownership - Trainer - General Price
1) 121-1532 TIDAL BAY (IRE) 13-11-10 Andrea & Graham Wylie Paul Nicholls 20/1
Stays longer than all those things things stay longer than. I've had wine stains in my carpet stay less well. Not known as Idle Bay for nothing.
Issues are not weight as nothing slows him down or should that be quickens him up? Ground could be an issue as on faster he may finish like a relative train but not get there with all the traffic and carnage and his slower jumping. Tends to get well behind and whilst has his own way of fencing he does take care of himself. De facto back to Welsh National mark of 161 and arguably had that race been truer run or Chepstow not a downhill finish or maybe his jock moved sooner he might have won. Does not need slow ground but most Nationals they do not always come back to the slower stayers so I'd not bet on anything but slow ground on the day. As someone approaching 50 I feel a git but have to mention he's 13 and maybe could decline a little before the race. Each way chance even on better ground. A worry would be if thrown into a heavy ground Gold Cup say in advance albeit he will take care of himself.
2) 132-54U LONG RUN (FR) 9-11-09 Robert Waley-Cohen Nicky Henderson 25/1
Seems to be evolving into Tidal Bay without the character - Rallentando. Even finishing ahead of Tidal this year off levels. Still has some class and off 160 here chances. Unseated last time but that was in a Grade 1. Not out of the question but amateur rider and not the best jumper.
3) 13-6060 HUNT BALL (IRE) 9-11-07 Atlantic Equine Nicky Henderson 66/1
Henderson is a great trainer as much as I loathe him but if he gets Hunt Ball to stay two miles further and run to this mark off his recent form I shall personally never crib Henderson again (OK I am lying). Non zero chance as in 0.000001%.
4) 1-F21P20 ROI DU MEE (FR) 9-11-06 Gigginstown House Stud Gordon Elliott IRE 66/1 Pulled up behind Cue Card and hence Tidal and Long Run and since then has had some handy National weight dropping performances. Whilst not as classy as top two at nine may still have some surprises. Most wins in Ireland are on heavy but form on good does not show a lack of pace or ground preference in the context of a 4m+ race. Lost all his double figure field chases including a striping in the Irish National. Not for me.
5) 301-131 TRIOLO D'ALENE (FR) 7-11-06 Sandy & Caroline Orr Nicky Henderson 25/1 Good ground horse who won at flat galloping Newbury over 3m2.5f and has won over the National fences. Contender. Likely needs quicker ground so not an Ante Post for me albeit Aintree has generally been good but climate change and half the country under water makes me hold off.
6) 1113-22 ROCKY CREEK (IRE) 8-11-05 The Johnson & Stewart Families Paul Nicholls 25/1 Second in the HENNESSY GOLD CUP to Triolo (gave 4lb) so if that is a contender he is. Goes on any ground. Only had 10 runs under rules so I am skeptical he's experienced enough or stout enough stayer for many scenarios.
7) 211-F443 KATENKO (FR) 8-11-04 Andrew Brooks Venetia Williams 40/1 Big horse seems to need deep ground or alternately is taking forever to get fit. As we all know when she's not streaking if we say Venetia's will win they don't and vice versa so I'm staying quiet on this. Ok, can't win! Massacred at Newbury so likely better ground & greater distance is not bet compelling for this giant boat.
8) 11FF-16 BOSTON BOB (IRE) 9-11-03 Andrea & Graham Wylie Willie Mullins IRE 50/1 Poor Boston Bob really does not have the experience and is not good enough even to deserve this weight. Another horse whose profile exceeds his achievements cos people fancied him for a Cheltenham Novice hurdle once.
9) 5-10661 ON HIS OWN (IRE) 10-11-03 Andrea & Graham Wylie Willie Mullins IRE 25/1 18 races under rules, seven wins. Fell in last two Nationals and sixth in the Becher Chase over the course. For some reasons connections won his last race popping his mark up so hardly well handicapped. Was 8/1 last year so clearly considered the right type. Given profile and nothing in his form to suggest to me he's well handicapped a pass for me.
10) 3/F1115- BOG WARRIOR (IRE) 10-11-02 Gigginstown House Stud Tony Martin IRE 66/1 Switched back to hurdles last year and normally a tear-away front runner. Has health questions and distance questions on top of temperament. Indeed since tailing off and falling he has not run in a chase and yet is entered here. I hope unless some evidence emerges he is right for this or he does not run here. This would seem cruel and unusual punishment to a horse with a Last Fell record in two chases outside novice company? Did he ask to fly Aer Lingus once? No, can't see what O'Leary has against the beast to enter him here personally.
11) 13/230-6 SEABASS (IRE) 11-11-02 Gunners Syndicate Ted Walsh IRE 40/1 Came into the race on a roll two years ago and finished third. 13th last year and no run for eight months easily passed over and again one hopes some evidence emerges he can still run to this mark or he is withdrawn.
12) P0P-553 KAUTO STONE (FR) 8-11-01 Robin Geffen Paul Nicholls 66/1 Hard to weigh up Graded winner with likely stamina issues and seems on the decline as well as not ideal physically for this. Other than that a likely winner.
13) 2U11-11 MOSSEY JOE (IRE) 11-11-01 Barry Connell Enda Bolger IRE 33/1 Won his last four Hunter chases including a striping of decent marker Chapoturgeon. Not out of it but not in it either. A wild card for me but handicapped like a good horse. This is tougher.
14) 145-F405 QUITO DE LA ROQUE (FR) 10-11-01 Gigginstown House Stud Colm Murphy IRE 66/1 Fell in early season affair over 2m4f and has been shown as short of top class since winning the staying novice at Aintree. Ran well for a long way last time in a 3m5f handicap and for me one who could be better in here. Winner of seven of 18 chases but only 10 years of age. Mark peaked at 169 but off 152 here. It could be he has declined but I take view he was too high off 169 and this year's campaign is about this. He handles any ground and the fact he is better on Soft Heavy for me says stamina is there.
15) 110-012 CANTLOW (IRE) 9-11-00 J P McManus Paul Webber 50/1 Quirky non-stayer by looks of it.
16) 1U-03U0 COLBERT STATION (IRE) 10-11-00 J P McManus Ted Walsh IRE 25/1 Won a couple of big field races in Ireland and seems very appreciative of deep ground. Unseated in this last year. No real evidence he's well handicapped having been stuffed up for his last win. Nonetheless one with a chance.
17) 30-3626 RUBI LIGHT (FR) 9-11-00 Bill Hennessy Robbie Hennessy IRE 66/1 Threatened to be a top class 2.5 miler and was second to the Cheltenham Gold Cup winner in the 3m Lexus once. Seems to have been entered here as what do we do now kinda thing or he bit a major owner in the yard.
18) 1112212 TONER D'OUDAIRIES (FR) 7-11-00 Gigginstown House Stud Gordon Elliott IRE 66/1 On a roll of good performances and form up to just short of three miles (assume he needs a top four at three miles to qualify?). Pulled up in his one big field chase (11+ runners). Pass.
19) 22P52-U4 WALKON (FR) 9-11-00 McNeill Family Alan King 66/1 Slow non-stayer a deadly combination.
20) 20P-111 BALTHAZAR KING (IRE) 10-10-13 The Brushmakers Philip Hobbs 33/1 19th last year and most of rating stems from Cross Country races at Cheltenham. Odds suggest some connection between XCountry races and National which is not borne out for me. The last time I visited Prestbury Park me and 50000 others of the 50000 crowd all had the same idea to get a drink when that race was on and the bar would not be 10 deep, doh.
21) P-21221U CARLINGFORD LOUGH (IRE) 8-10-13 J P McManus John Kiely IRE 40/1 Novice who won Galway Plate. Whilst not laid out and likely aimed at conditions races would not be beyond connections to casually throw him in a race 10 or 20 of his competitors had been laid out for. Just not the target for this horse. Maybe next year....
22) P06-52P WAYWARD PRINCE 10-10-13 John & Mrs Hilary Parrott Hilary Parrott 66/1 Beat Quito de la Roque at Aintree once and as well as ever in second behind Harry Topper earlier. Pulled up in 3 of 3 big field chases. Nope.
23) 155-P03 CAPE TRIBULATION 10-10-12 David Abell Malcolm Jefferson 50/1 Small field stayer who is no longer winning in small fields but maybe he's been campaigned for this mark. Either way not for me in a 40 runner cavalry charge and might need slow ground to be competitive as well.
24) -450311 MR MOONSHINE (IRE) 10-10-12 Douglas Pryde, Jim Beaumont & David van der Hoeven Sue Smith 50/1 Third in the Becher and has won last two over 2.5 milers to get his mark up. Clearly not forlorn and his Becher hints at stamina just not enough for me. However could argue similar profile & same trainer as last year's winner. All chase wins single-figure fields.
25) 06203-0 TEAFORTHREE (IRE) 10-10-12 Conyers, O'Reilly, Roddis, Zeffman Rebecca Curtis 25/1 Not as slow as I have joked and good runs in Welsh National and here last season. Dropped a handy four pounds due to this year's Welsh National. Fairly priced and only one of last year's top three coming back.
26) 010-501 ACROSS THE BAY (IRE) 10-10-11 Scotch Piper Syndicate Donald McCain 50/1 14th last year and eighth in the Becher this year. Best form in small fields but classier than some off this mark.
27) F11111 DOUBLE SEVEN (IRE) 8-10-11 J P McManus Martin Brassil IRE 50/1 Won five on the spin last summer and autumn. Mark gets him in here. Could make point better ground saw him in better form. Off since so could be a plot job. I just don't know enough to chuck but equally to back.
28) 2131-5P GODSMEJUDGE (IRE) 8-10-11 Favourites Racing Alan King 25/1 Scottish National winner who handles any ground. Pulled up last start but stable under a cloud. I just don't think he's quick enough or his form strong enough.
29) 0/530P-1 PLANET OF SOUND 12-10-11 Charles Lloyd-Baker Philip Hobbs 40/1 Finally found a race weak enough last time. Had lots of ailments and whilst track may suit beaten 91 lengths two years ago and rising 12 I can't see this as an entry connections should take up unless he's been a bad boy of course.
30) 11-1PRP BATTLE GROUP 9-10-10 Jolly Boys Outing Johnny Farrelly 50/1 Loves the Aintree track, sadly the Mildmay Aintree track not the massive National track. A frivolous entry for a horse PRP as its formline.
31) 65-0510 BUCKERS BRIDGE (IRE) 8-10-10 Ann & Alan Potts Partnership Henry de Bromhead IRE 66/1 No evidence he will want the distance or the large field. Another day out entry for connections?
32) 11/PP-501 LION NA BEARNAI (IRE) 12-10-10 The Lock Syndicate Tom Gibney IRE 40/1 Irish National winner who has had issues. Only strike I have is this is an end-to-end 4m4f gallop and soundness may count.
33) 12-3004 PRINCE DE BEAUCHENE (FR) 11-10-10 Andrea & Graham Wylie Willie Mullins IRE 33/1 Best form gives him a chance but does not quite make my list. No huge negatives just quibbles on jumping and in big fields.
34) 5/3/1/P1/ MASSINI'S MAGUIRE (IRE) 13-10-09 Alan Peterson Tim Vaughan 66/1 Not run for two years so quite why he would be allowed in this race is beyond me. It's still not a race for unsound old horses. 509/1 BF!
35) 13P-341 MONBEG DUDE (IRE) 9-10-09 Oydunow Michael Scudamore 20/1 consistent staying handicapper likely at about his proper mark. Not especially well in with Teaforthree on Welsh National and that one has course form. At 20s I think there are better bets. Respected but not liked.
36) 00PU-20 QUANTITATIVEEASING (IRE) 9-10-09 J P McManus Enda Bolger IRE 66/1 Has single handedly handed money to the rich... oh the horse not the economic shit ummh second to Carlingford Lough at Galway. Failed to win a point recently and has distance issues. Owner loves to challenge his horses doesn't he.
37) 2/5PU-01 SUNNYHILLBOY (IRE) 11-10-09 J P McManus Jonjo O'Neill 33/1 Second beaten as far as the difference between the Labour and Conservative Parties or a Rizla split down the middle for the non political. Lightly raced since and not without a chance. However again would worry about soundness.
38) 1/F0211-2 BIG SHU (IRE) 9-10-08 H Duffy/R J Robinson/Miss C M Woods Peter Maher IRE 40/1 Another obstacle racer (XCountry) which with its jumps and twists and turns hardly prep for a National. Prior to that a Hunter chaser. Not for me.
39) 42/-500P BURTON PORT (IRE) 10-10-08 Trevor Hemmings Jonjo O'Neill 50/1 Once a really good one but a small horse who was never the fluent jumper that's needed here. Bang out of form for too long to be a plot. Being backed but never won a big field chase. (Trainer said has had a wind operation)
40) P-25P434 JUNIOR 11-10-08 Middleham Park Racing LI David Pipe 100/1 Bolted up in a Cheltenham handicap and one I had in mind for a National on good ground. However record looks mixed since involving letters and seems exposed even down a few pounds.
41) 0P/124-0 OUR FATHER (IRE) 8-10-08 The Ives & Johnson Families David Pipe 40/1 Had four chases and whilst Hennessy was not awful it was not good either. Hard to fancy on many grounds.
42) 203-061 SIRE COLLONGES (FR) 8-10-08 Angela & Bill Tincknell Paul Nicholls 50/1 Another XCountry winner probably falsely in here.
43) 12/034/-P MON PARRAIN (FR) 8-10-07 John & Barbara Cotton Paul Nicholls 66/1 One run in two years and may lack stamina what's to like? Why enter him? Pacemaker for something else?
44) 241-3315 MOUNTAINOUS (IRE) 9-10-07 Walters Plant Hire & James & Jean Potter Richard Lee 40/1 Welsh National winner. Worse off with Tidal Bay but more than that it did not strike me as a strong race prior or after. Not exactly laid out or well handicapped now.
45) 4UP-261 THE RAINBOW HUNTER 10-10-07 May We Never Be Found Out Partnership Kim Bailey 40/1 Came back after a wind op and if he gets in will be near bottom weight. Horses with wind issues may prefer to be fresh so if kept fresh a chance. Not quite enough evidence of stamina for me. However I like winners at Donny or the big tracks for this. Nearly.
46) 2P-1262 VINTAGE STAR (IRE) 8-10-07 Trevor Hemmings Sue Smith 40/1 Decent sort but short on class and experience. Whilst it is a handicap generally speaking the winners have gone close in valuable races prior, he has not.
47) 0400-1P CHANCE DU ROY (FR) 10-10-06 Miss I D Du Pre Philip Hobbs 40/1 Becher winner which clearly entails some sort of shot at this race. Seems to reserve his best for big tracks (This, Donny, Newbury, Chepstow). Pulled up last time on the Heavy at Haydock but that was a grim day's racing. Not without hope assuming nothing wrong last time.
48) 212P-42 HAWKES POINT 9-10-06 Graham Roach Paul Nicholls 33/1 Second in the Welsh National so a chance. Hard to read but again notwithstanding my love of Tidal Bay the Welsh National appears shy.
49) P513-35 HOME FARM (IRE) 7-10-06 Chris Jones Arthur Moore IRE 40/1 Six chase veteran from a former top trainer. Third in Irish National. Inexperience my main knock here.
50) 2-44110 KRUZHLININ (GER) 7-10-06 Paul & Clare Rooney Donald McCain 66/1 Well beaten by The Rainbow Hunter at Donny and appears best on tight tracks and long way up the handicap. 599/1 BF!
51) 35F201 PINEAU DE RE (FR) 11-10-06 J A Provan Dr Richard Newland 50/1 Fell in the Becher. On highest mark at age 11. No value.
52) 3-20116 WHITE STAR LINE (IRE) 10-10-06 Exors of the late Patsy Byrne Dessie Hughes IRE 66/1 14 chases two wins and one of those in a novice and one in a handicap off 130. Some hints at back class but wins in turn. Not quite.
53) 01R03/3- GOLAN WAY 10-10-05 W R B Racing 58 Tim Vaughan 66/1 Most evidence suggests a single figure field horse on the decline. Or No in a word.
54) 421-0102 MIDNIGHT APPEAL 9-10-05 David Sewell Alan King 66/1 Some decent form but no valuable race form. Better chances out there.
55) P0-FP13P PETE THE FEAT (IRE) 10-10-05 G J Larby & P J Smith Charlie Longsdon 66/1 Seems handicapped to his hilt. Good jumper but slow between them. Not ideal.
56) 125010 TWIRLING MAGNET (IRE) 8-10-05 Gay Smith Jonjo O'Neill 66/1 A novice who appears to be fully handicapped. Not for me.
57) 302-FU0 VESPER BELL (IRE) 8-10-05 Susannah Ricci Willie Mullins IRE 50/1 FU9 hardly encourages. Not well handicapped.
58) 400123- AWAY WE GO (IRE) 11-10-04 O'Gorman Partnership Willie Mullins IRE 66/1 Second in Irish National, third in the Whitbread and not run since but assuming a pipe opener of interest albeit may lack some class.
59) 01631P MART LANE (IRE) 9-10-04 Jim Stewart Dr Richard Newland 100/1 Another whose last win puts him on his highest mark with little hint of head room.
60) 001140 RENARD (FR) 9-10-04 ROA Arkle Partnership Venetia William 100/1 Seems a frivolous entry on class and distance grounds so given my usual picking of Venetia's means get your house on it.
61) 612-00P SAME DIFFERENCE (IRE) 8-10-04 Mrs R Vaughan Nigel Twiston-Davies 40/1 Arguably well handicapped as handicapper quickly drops a Cheltenham runner up and Whitbread second back to 141. However since his mark has put his participation in doubt recent performances not encouraging if this the aim.
62) 5/4/14PP-0 THE PACKAGE 11-10-04 The Johnson Family David Pipe 66/1 Formerly useful his unsoundness is clear and hence hard to see the thought behind this entry. At his best chances.
63) 11P-03P WELL REFRESHED 10-10-04 Patrick Wilmott Gary Moore 50/1 Bad jumper with a bit of class. Like the weight not the jumping in a race with 40 runners and 30 fences.
Conclusion I think a number have chances and accept even something I dismiss could win. My selection is Quito de la Roque who has back class and to my eyes has been well handicapped - issue would be is he intended to run and has he been handicapped or declined? I would take some 66s and better on exchanges. It seems the logical race for a staying horse just shy of Gold Cup standard off UK 152 (Tidal Bay's 161 - 9 = 152).
Rest of Entries who I don't fancy or need a lots out.
I gave up the horse by horse after 63. I don't like any of the next 10 or so I did not do and consider the rest unlikely to run - Alfie Spinner 33s shortest I left out.

The National
Used to be easier than working for a living the National - look for back class and a weight of 10 stone to 10 stone 7lb - now sadly it requires work and luck. Race is run on a flat circuit of just shy of four miles four furlongs and comprises 30 fences. Slow horses even ones who on most tracks would be favoured by the distance can get a long way behind on even softish going. Class even back class important for me even if last year's winner was marginal.
However once again I question why unsound old horses are entered notably a few owned by J P McManus entries and trained by Paul Nicholls or David Pipe. To me this is not a day out race and soundness, big field and distance form helps.
Unless you strongly fancy something, 66/1 appears to be the Bookies' price about horses who are 400s on Exchanges as well as genuine 66/1 shots. Check prices before betting.
Order of Entry - Form - Name - Age-Imperial Weight - Ownership - Trainer - General Price
1) 121-1532 TIDAL BAY (IRE) 13-11-10 Andrea & Graham Wylie Paul Nicholls 20/1
Stays longer than all those things things stay longer than. I've had wine stains in my carpet stay less well. Not known as Idle Bay for nothing.
Issues are not weight as nothing slows him down or should that be quickens him up? Ground could be an issue as on faster he may finish like a relative train but not get there with all the traffic and carnage and his slower jumping. Tends to get well behind and whilst has his own way of fencing he does take care of himself. De facto back to Welsh National mark of 161 and arguably had that race been truer run or Chepstow not a downhill finish or maybe his jock moved sooner he might have won. Does not need slow ground but most Nationals they do not always come back to the slower stayers so I'd not bet on anything but slow ground on the day. As someone approaching 50 I feel a git but have to mention he's 13 and maybe could decline a little before the race. Each way chance even on better ground. A worry would be if thrown into a heavy ground Gold Cup say in advance albeit he will take care of himself.
2) 132-54U LONG RUN (FR) 9-11-09 Robert Waley-Cohen Nicky Henderson 25/1
Seems to be evolving into Tidal Bay without the character - Rallentando. Even finishing ahead of Tidal this year off levels. Still has some class and off 160 here chances. Unseated last time but that was in a Grade 1. Not out of the question but amateur rider and not the best jumper.
3) 13-6060 HUNT BALL (IRE) 9-11-07 Atlantic Equine Nicky Henderson 66/1
Henderson is a great trainer as much as I loathe him but if he gets Hunt Ball to stay two miles further and run to this mark off his recent form I shall personally never crib Henderson again (OK I am lying). Non zero chance as in 0.000001%.
4) 1-F21P20 ROI DU MEE (FR) 9-11-06 Gigginstown House Stud Gordon Elliott IRE 66/1 Pulled up behind Cue Card and hence Tidal and Long Run and since then has had some handy National weight dropping performances. Whilst not as classy as top two at nine may still have some surprises. Most wins in Ireland are on heavy but form on good does not show a lack of pace or ground preference in the context of a 4m+ race. Lost all his double figure field chases including a striping in the Irish National. Not for me.
5) 301-131 TRIOLO D'ALENE (FR) 7-11-06 Sandy & Caroline Orr Nicky Henderson 25/1 Good ground horse who won at flat galloping Newbury over 3m2.5f and has won over the National fences. Contender. Likely needs quicker ground so not an Ante Post for me albeit Aintree has generally been good but climate change and half the country under water makes me hold off.
6) 1113-22 ROCKY CREEK (IRE) 8-11-05 The Johnson & Stewart Families Paul Nicholls 25/1 Second in the HENNESSY GOLD CUP to Triolo (gave 4lb) so if that is a contender he is. Goes on any ground. Only had 10 runs under rules so I am skeptical he's experienced enough or stout enough stayer for many scenarios.
7) 211-F443 KATENKO (FR) 8-11-04 Andrew Brooks Venetia Williams 40/1 Big horse seems to need deep ground or alternately is taking forever to get fit. As we all know when she's not streaking if we say Venetia's will win they don't and vice versa so I'm staying quiet on this. Ok, can't win! Massacred at Newbury so likely better ground & greater distance is not bet compelling for this giant boat.
8) 11FF-16 BOSTON BOB (IRE) 9-11-03 Andrea & Graham Wylie Willie Mullins IRE 50/1 Poor Boston Bob really does not have the experience and is not good enough even to deserve this weight. Another horse whose profile exceeds his achievements cos people fancied him for a Cheltenham Novice hurdle once.
9) 5-10661 ON HIS OWN (IRE) 10-11-03 Andrea & Graham Wylie Willie Mullins IRE 25/1 18 races under rules, seven wins. Fell in last two Nationals and sixth in the Becher Chase over the course. For some reasons connections won his last race popping his mark up so hardly well handicapped. Was 8/1 last year so clearly considered the right type. Given profile and nothing in his form to suggest to me he's well handicapped a pass for me.
10) 3/F1115- BOG WARRIOR (IRE) 10-11-02 Gigginstown House Stud Tony Martin IRE 66/1 Switched back to hurdles last year and normally a tear-away front runner. Has health questions and distance questions on top of temperament. Indeed since tailing off and falling he has not run in a chase and yet is entered here. I hope unless some evidence emerges he is right for this or he does not run here. This would seem cruel and unusual punishment to a horse with a Last Fell record in two chases outside novice company? Did he ask to fly Aer Lingus once? No, can't see what O'Leary has against the beast to enter him here personally.
11) 13/230-6 SEABASS (IRE) 11-11-02 Gunners Syndicate Ted Walsh IRE 40/1 Came into the race on a roll two years ago and finished third. 13th last year and no run for eight months easily passed over and again one hopes some evidence emerges he can still run to this mark or he is withdrawn.
12) P0P-553 KAUTO STONE (FR) 8-11-01 Robin Geffen Paul Nicholls 66/1 Hard to weigh up Graded winner with likely stamina issues and seems on the decline as well as not ideal physically for this. Other than that a likely winner.
13) 2U11-11 MOSSEY JOE (IRE) 11-11-01 Barry Connell Enda Bolger IRE 33/1 Won his last four Hunter chases including a striping of decent marker Chapoturgeon. Not out of it but not in it either. A wild card for me but handicapped like a good horse. This is tougher.
14) 145-F405 QUITO DE LA ROQUE (FR) 10-11-01 Gigginstown House Stud Colm Murphy IRE 66/1 Fell in early season affair over 2m4f and has been shown as short of top class since winning the staying novice at Aintree. Ran well for a long way last time in a 3m5f handicap and for me one who could be better in here. Winner of seven of 18 chases but only 10 years of age. Mark peaked at 169 but off 152 here. It could be he has declined but I take view he was too high off 169 and this year's campaign is about this. He handles any ground and the fact he is better on Soft Heavy for me says stamina is there.
15) 110-012 CANTLOW (IRE) 9-11-00 J P McManus Paul Webber 50/1 Quirky non-stayer by looks of it.
16) 1U-03U0 COLBERT STATION (IRE) 10-11-00 J P McManus Ted Walsh IRE 25/1 Won a couple of big field races in Ireland and seems very appreciative of deep ground. Unseated in this last year. No real evidence he's well handicapped having been stuffed up for his last win. Nonetheless one with a chance.
17) 30-3626 RUBI LIGHT (FR) 9-11-00 Bill Hennessy Robbie Hennessy IRE 66/1 Threatened to be a top class 2.5 miler and was second to the Cheltenham Gold Cup winner in the 3m Lexus once. Seems to have been entered here as what do we do now kinda thing or he bit a major owner in the yard.
18) 1112212 TONER D'OUDAIRIES (FR) 7-11-00 Gigginstown House Stud Gordon Elliott IRE 66/1 On a roll of good performances and form up to just short of three miles (assume he needs a top four at three miles to qualify?). Pulled up in his one big field chase (11+ runners). Pass.
19) 22P52-U4 WALKON (FR) 9-11-00 McNeill Family Alan King 66/1 Slow non-stayer a deadly combination.
20) 20P-111 BALTHAZAR KING (IRE) 10-10-13 The Brushmakers Philip Hobbs 33/1 19th last year and most of rating stems from Cross Country races at Cheltenham. Odds suggest some connection between XCountry races and National which is not borne out for me. The last time I visited Prestbury Park me and 50000 others of the 50000 crowd all had the same idea to get a drink when that race was on and the bar would not be 10 deep, doh.
21) P-21221U CARLINGFORD LOUGH (IRE) 8-10-13 J P McManus John Kiely IRE 40/1 Novice who won Galway Plate. Whilst not laid out and likely aimed at conditions races would not be beyond connections to casually throw him in a race 10 or 20 of his competitors had been laid out for. Just not the target for this horse. Maybe next year....
22) P06-52P WAYWARD PRINCE 10-10-13 John & Mrs Hilary Parrott Hilary Parrott 66/1 Beat Quito de la Roque at Aintree once and as well as ever in second behind Harry Topper earlier. Pulled up in 3 of 3 big field chases. Nope.
23) 155-P03 CAPE TRIBULATION 10-10-12 David Abell Malcolm Jefferson 50/1 Small field stayer who is no longer winning in small fields but maybe he's been campaigned for this mark. Either way not for me in a 40 runner cavalry charge and might need slow ground to be competitive as well.
24) -450311 MR MOONSHINE (IRE) 10-10-12 Douglas Pryde, Jim Beaumont & David van der Hoeven Sue Smith 50/1 Third in the Becher and has won last two over 2.5 milers to get his mark up. Clearly not forlorn and his Becher hints at stamina just not enough for me. However could argue similar profile & same trainer as last year's winner. All chase wins single-figure fields.
25) 06203-0 TEAFORTHREE (IRE) 10-10-12 Conyers, O'Reilly, Roddis, Zeffman Rebecca Curtis 25/1 Not as slow as I have joked and good runs in Welsh National and here last season. Dropped a handy four pounds due to this year's Welsh National. Fairly priced and only one of last year's top three coming back.
26) 010-501 ACROSS THE BAY (IRE) 10-10-11 Scotch Piper Syndicate Donald McCain 50/1 14th last year and eighth in the Becher this year. Best form in small fields but classier than some off this mark.
27) F11111 DOUBLE SEVEN (IRE) 8-10-11 J P McManus Martin Brassil IRE 50/1 Won five on the spin last summer and autumn. Mark gets him in here. Could make point better ground saw him in better form. Off since so could be a plot job. I just don't know enough to chuck but equally to back.
28) 2131-5P GODSMEJUDGE (IRE) 8-10-11 Favourites Racing Alan King 25/1 Scottish National winner who handles any ground. Pulled up last start but stable under a cloud. I just don't think he's quick enough or his form strong enough.
29) 0/530P-1 PLANET OF SOUND 12-10-11 Charles Lloyd-Baker Philip Hobbs 40/1 Finally found a race weak enough last time. Had lots of ailments and whilst track may suit beaten 91 lengths two years ago and rising 12 I can't see this as an entry connections should take up unless he's been a bad boy of course.
30) 11-1PRP BATTLE GROUP 9-10-10 Jolly Boys Outing Johnny Farrelly 50/1 Loves the Aintree track, sadly the Mildmay Aintree track not the massive National track. A frivolous entry for a horse PRP as its formline.
31) 65-0510 BUCKERS BRIDGE (IRE) 8-10-10 Ann & Alan Potts Partnership Henry de Bromhead IRE 66/1 No evidence he will want the distance or the large field. Another day out entry for connections?
32) 11/PP-501 LION NA BEARNAI (IRE) 12-10-10 The Lock Syndicate Tom Gibney IRE 40/1 Irish National winner who has had issues. Only strike I have is this is an end-to-end 4m4f gallop and soundness may count.
33) 12-3004 PRINCE DE BEAUCHENE (FR) 11-10-10 Andrea & Graham Wylie Willie Mullins IRE 33/1 Best form gives him a chance but does not quite make my list. No huge negatives just quibbles on jumping and in big fields.
34) 5/3/1/P1/ MASSINI'S MAGUIRE (IRE) 13-10-09 Alan Peterson Tim Vaughan 66/1 Not run for two years so quite why he would be allowed in this race is beyond me. It's still not a race for unsound old horses. 509/1 BF!
35) 13P-341 MONBEG DUDE (IRE) 9-10-09 Oydunow Michael Scudamore 20/1 consistent staying handicapper likely at about his proper mark. Not especially well in with Teaforthree on Welsh National and that one has course form. At 20s I think there are better bets. Respected but not liked.
36) 00PU-20 QUANTITATIVEEASING (IRE) 9-10-09 J P McManus Enda Bolger IRE 66/1 Has single handedly handed money to the rich... oh the horse not the economic shit ummh second to Carlingford Lough at Galway. Failed to win a point recently and has distance issues. Owner loves to challenge his horses doesn't he.
37) 2/5PU-01 SUNNYHILLBOY (IRE) 11-10-09 J P McManus Jonjo O'Neill 33/1 Second beaten as far as the difference between the Labour and Conservative Parties or a Rizla split down the middle for the non political. Lightly raced since and not without a chance. However again would worry about soundness.
38) 1/F0211-2 BIG SHU (IRE) 9-10-08 H Duffy/R J Robinson/Miss C M Woods Peter Maher IRE 40/1 Another obstacle racer (XCountry) which with its jumps and twists and turns hardly prep for a National. Prior to that a Hunter chaser. Not for me.
39) 42/-500P BURTON PORT (IRE) 10-10-08 Trevor Hemmings Jonjo O'Neill 50/1 Once a really good one but a small horse who was never the fluent jumper that's needed here. Bang out of form for too long to be a plot. Being backed but never won a big field chase. (Trainer said has had a wind operation)
40) P-25P434 JUNIOR 11-10-08 Middleham Park Racing LI David Pipe 100/1 Bolted up in a Cheltenham handicap and one I had in mind for a National on good ground. However record looks mixed since involving letters and seems exposed even down a few pounds.
41) 0P/124-0 OUR FATHER (IRE) 8-10-08 The Ives & Johnson Families David Pipe 40/1 Had four chases and whilst Hennessy was not awful it was not good either. Hard to fancy on many grounds.
42) 203-061 SIRE COLLONGES (FR) 8-10-08 Angela & Bill Tincknell Paul Nicholls 50/1 Another XCountry winner probably falsely in here.
43) 12/034/-P MON PARRAIN (FR) 8-10-07 John & Barbara Cotton Paul Nicholls 66/1 One run in two years and may lack stamina what's to like? Why enter him? Pacemaker for something else?
44) 241-3315 MOUNTAINOUS (IRE) 9-10-07 Walters Plant Hire & James & Jean Potter Richard Lee 40/1 Welsh National winner. Worse off with Tidal Bay but more than that it did not strike me as a strong race prior or after. Not exactly laid out or well handicapped now.
45) 4UP-261 THE RAINBOW HUNTER 10-10-07 May We Never Be Found Out Partnership Kim Bailey 40/1 Came back after a wind op and if he gets in will be near bottom weight. Horses with wind issues may prefer to be fresh so if kept fresh a chance. Not quite enough evidence of stamina for me. However I like winners at Donny or the big tracks for this. Nearly.
46) 2P-1262 VINTAGE STAR (IRE) 8-10-07 Trevor Hemmings Sue Smith 40/1 Decent sort but short on class and experience. Whilst it is a handicap generally speaking the winners have gone close in valuable races prior, he has not.
47) 0400-1P CHANCE DU ROY (FR) 10-10-06 Miss I D Du Pre Philip Hobbs 40/1 Becher winner which clearly entails some sort of shot at this race. Seems to reserve his best for big tracks (This, Donny, Newbury, Chepstow). Pulled up last time on the Heavy at Haydock but that was a grim day's racing. Not without hope assuming nothing wrong last time.
48) 212P-42 HAWKES POINT 9-10-06 Graham Roach Paul Nicholls 33/1 Second in the Welsh National so a chance. Hard to read but again notwithstanding my love of Tidal Bay the Welsh National appears shy.
49) P513-35 HOME FARM (IRE) 7-10-06 Chris Jones Arthur Moore IRE 40/1 Six chase veteran from a former top trainer. Third in Irish National. Inexperience my main knock here.
50) 2-44110 KRUZHLININ (GER) 7-10-06 Paul & Clare Rooney Donald McCain 66/1 Well beaten by The Rainbow Hunter at Donny and appears best on tight tracks and long way up the handicap. 599/1 BF!
51) 35F201 PINEAU DE RE (FR) 11-10-06 J A Provan Dr Richard Newland 50/1 Fell in the Becher. On highest mark at age 11. No value.
52) 3-20116 WHITE STAR LINE (IRE) 10-10-06 Exors of the late Patsy Byrne Dessie Hughes IRE 66/1 14 chases two wins and one of those in a novice and one in a handicap off 130. Some hints at back class but wins in turn. Not quite.
53) 01R03/3- GOLAN WAY 10-10-05 W R B Racing 58 Tim Vaughan 66/1 Most evidence suggests a single figure field horse on the decline. Or No in a word.
54) 421-0102 MIDNIGHT APPEAL 9-10-05 David Sewell Alan King 66/1 Some decent form but no valuable race form. Better chances out there.
55) P0-FP13P PETE THE FEAT (IRE) 10-10-05 G J Larby & P J Smith Charlie Longsdon 66/1 Seems handicapped to his hilt. Good jumper but slow between them. Not ideal.
56) 125010 TWIRLING MAGNET (IRE) 8-10-05 Gay Smith Jonjo O'Neill 66/1 A novice who appears to be fully handicapped. Not for me.
57) 302-FU0 VESPER BELL (IRE) 8-10-05 Susannah Ricci Willie Mullins IRE 50/1 FU9 hardly encourages. Not well handicapped.
58) 400123- AWAY WE GO (IRE) 11-10-04 O'Gorman Partnership Willie Mullins IRE 66/1 Second in Irish National, third in the Whitbread and not run since but assuming a pipe opener of interest albeit may lack some class.
59) 01631P MART LANE (IRE) 9-10-04 Jim Stewart Dr Richard Newland 100/1 Another whose last win puts him on his highest mark with little hint of head room.
60) 001140 RENARD (FR) 9-10-04 ROA Arkle Partnership Venetia William 100/1 Seems a frivolous entry on class and distance grounds so given my usual picking of Venetia's means get your house on it.
61) 612-00P SAME DIFFERENCE (IRE) 8-10-04 Mrs R Vaughan Nigel Twiston-Davies 40/1 Arguably well handicapped as handicapper quickly drops a Cheltenham runner up and Whitbread second back to 141. However since his mark has put his participation in doubt recent performances not encouraging if this the aim.
62) 5/4/14PP-0 THE PACKAGE 11-10-04 The Johnson Family David Pipe 66/1 Formerly useful his unsoundness is clear and hence hard to see the thought behind this entry. At his best chances.
63) 11P-03P WELL REFRESHED 10-10-04 Patrick Wilmott Gary Moore 50/1 Bad jumper with a bit of class. Like the weight not the jumping in a race with 40 runners and 30 fences.
Conclusion I think a number have chances and accept even something I dismiss could win. My selection is Quito de la Roque who has back class and to my eyes has been well handicapped - issue would be is he intended to run and has he been handicapped or declined? I would take some 66s and better on exchanges. It seems the logical race for a staying horse just shy of Gold Cup standard off UK 152 (Tidal Bay's 161 - 9 = 152).
Rest of Entries who I don't fancy or need a lots out.
I gave up the horse by horse after 63. I don't like any of the next 10 or so I did not do and consider the rest unlikely to run - Alfie Spinner 33s shortest I left out.
