...my portfolio for Thursday is growing but a number of horses have multiple entries so I will have lost some. Gone for 3 at prices in the Foxhunters, just hoping the rain doesn’t turn the meeting into a slog.

do you still fancy warriors tale and Virgilio ?

..I think the ground has gone against Virgilio and to a lesser extent Warriors Tale. Much depends on the weather between now and Saturday. Virgilio is a sporting outsider at 100-1 and I know Ben Linfoot from Sporting Life is very keen on it, Ed Chamberlain has also put it in his 5 selections. A couple of quid e/w and hope to get a run for your money is the way to go but it’s still a race where anything can happen.

I’m going on Thursday and have had plenty of ante-posts but this rain could make it a lottery.

I had a very strong fancy for Dineur in the Foxhunters last year and I was chuffed that lots of you followed me in and got him at 20-1.

I was one of them Eggs.

I'm going again this Thursday. Anything you really fancy?

...not a fancy of mine, but there’s a whisper from folk I listen to for Dissavril in the mares bumper. Only a couple of bookies are pricing it up at the moment, but it’s 8-1 with Paddy Power.

You know I like the fancy priced ones, i’ve thrown a couple of darts at the Foxhunters. I was really keen on Dineur last year, I’m not so keen this year but I think Distime is overpriced at 33-1 with Hills, and i’ve backed Barrakilla @ 25s. Dineur’s trainer, Mickey Bowen, is running Wells de Lune but it’s only a 7 year old and older horses have a much better record. I just hope it’s not too soft for Distime, 33-1 is a big price. It’s still a lottery over those fences.

The Aintree Hurdle has cut up with the defection of the odds-on favourite and Supersundae looks a good thing for Jessica Harrington. One that stood out for me when the prices came out was Diakali. I backed it at 56-1, but then the trainer said he’d probably go for the handicap hurdle on Friday. I think he must have had a change of mind because of the withdrawals. I hope it runs into a place, so I backed it again today @ 33s. It is getting backed but it might be safer to make sure it is running before having a bet.

Cheers Eggs. I prefer to do my betting on the course. All part of the occasion plus I always get a bit of a hit just from getting a better price.

I'll keep an eye on yours and have a small ew if they're running.

I like Seeyouatmidnight for the national. usually a very sound jumper and stays forever and will like the softer ground. Will probably do Tiger Roll too as he won me a packet at Cheltenham.

..the selection of the very shrewd Paul Kealy in this morning’s Weekender.

His other selections in the big race; Baie Des Iles and I Just Know.

With 20 mins left in the Madrid / Juve game, I backed a sending off and a Real Madrid goal in 90 mins.

Nothing heavy, only a score or so, but that luck NEVER usually goes my way..

Ace.

9/2 for the red card and 5/2 for Madrid goal.

Not sure how many yellows were in that game, but the refs bottle clearly went a bit.

Aintree opening show now on, and looking forward to this afternoon.
