The Grand National

16:00 this fortcoming Saturday

What have the NSC gamblers done thier money on?

I have backed Forest Gunner at Various odds from 34-1 downwards and currently stand to make 1333.37 if it wins - which sure as anything means it won't.

I have also backed Strong Resolve for the missus who backed it in the best pinsticking tradition.

Lastly I backed Keen Leader at 1000-1. You can imagine how delighted I was when that was withdrawn.

Ground Currently Forecast Good to Soft - Rain expected.

I don't think of myself as especially sexist - but after I saw my money go down the swanney without so much of a run at Cheltenham when Karanja dumped Nina Carberry at the start of a flat race with no fences or hurdles (and therefore supposedly easier) it's going to be a while before I risk the old hard-earned on a bird jockey again. Absolutely shocking it was. Only the fact I was about £200 up saved the day.

So you can probably assume Carrie Ford will romp home on Forest Gunner...
