Winner Tip

Oscar Time, 12/1 with Ladbrokes FREE Grand National Bets

Oscar Time must have every chance of giving amateur jockey Sam Waley-Cohen a famous double having ridden Gold Cup winner Long Run last month. Connections were keen to preserve what they felt was a favourable handicap mark and the horse didn’t run over fences until after the announcement of the weights. Jumped very well and not given too hard a time at Fairyhouse behind the Mullins’ pair The Midnight Club and Arbor Supreme in a race I feel will be pivotal to the destination of the National. Jockey Sam Waley-Cohen looking to be the first amateur to win the race since Marcus Armytage on Mr Frisk in 1990 and the first jockey to do the Gold Cup/National double since Jim Culloty back in 2002. Lost nothing in defeat behind The Midnight Club last time and finished runner up in the Irish National last year; major player. 10 year old, weight 10-9, trainer MM Lynch

Each Way Tip

Arbor Supreme, 20/1 with Ladbrokes FREE Grand National Bets

Arbor Supreme: Finished best of all to split The Midnight Club and Oscar Time at Fairyhouse in the Bobbyjo and meets both on better terms. Long been considered an ideal type for the race but many felt he wouldn’t get into the race this year. Sneaked in at foot of the weights and Mullins’ camp undecided who is their first choice. Faller at the Chair last year and put up a career best when runner up to stablemate The Midnight Club (8lb worse off) in the Bobbyjo last time. One to consider in the Grand National off his feather weight this year.

Rank Outsider Each Way Tip

The Tother One, 66/1 with Ladbrokes FREE Grand National Bets

Below par last time but ran well to be placed in Charlie Hall Chase and Hennessy Gold Cup (where he stayed on very well) in first half of the season. One of the legions of runners bidding to give Paul Nicholls’ his first win in race and should not be underestimated. Yet to fulfil promise he showed as a hurdler but will love the ground, promises to stay and you never know with What A Friend in mind it is possible that Champion trainer Paul Nicholls will win his first Grand National…but not perhaps with the fancied one but with The Tother One!

The final declared Grand National runners and riders will be confirmed on Thursday for Saturday’s John Smiths Grand National at Aintree. Check the form and odds of the list of horses in the grand national 2011. Bet on the Grand National favourite The Midnight Club 10/1 Free Grand National Bets The runners guide has been prepared with Charlie McCann, professional horse racing tipster.

No.	Form	Colour	Grand National Horses	Odds	Bet	Age	Weight	Trainers	Jockey	Rate
11	133-21		The Midnight Club	10/1		10	10-13	W P Mullins	Ruby Walsh	149
Not guaranteed to stay but long considered an ideal National candidate and landed the Bobbyjo Chase at Clonmel with other National principles Oscar Time and Arbor Supreme behind last time. A must for any short-list and considered the ride of Ruby Walsh. Undoubtedly the pick of Mullins entries, Ruby Walsh’s decision to partner the nicely-weighted Irish raider will have punters clamouring to get on. Having beaten good horses in the Emerald Isle, the signs all point towards a big race, but the National circuit is a great leveller and a lack of Aintree form could be a worry. Rating 8/10

1	1-P070		Don’t Push It	10/1		11	11-10	Jonjo O´Neill	A P McCoy	160
Looking to become the first horse since Red Rum in the early 70s to win the race in successive years. Must carry 5lbs more than last year but would that have stopped him in 2010? Last year’s winner. Yet no horse has won this historic contest shouldering top weight since the great Red Rum over 35 years ago. Four prep runs this season have offered little encouragement to followers, but a repeat of last year’s game victory is not out of the question for one who relishes this unique test. Rating 8/10

3	11-524		What A Friend	14/1		8	11-6	Paul Nicholls	Daryl Jacob	156
Owned in partnership by Sir Alex Ferguson and ran a cracker to finish 4th in the Gold Cup. Handicapper would have given him considerably more weight if he could and everything in place for a big run. The most attractively handicapped of all the runners following his recent Gold Cup fourth. He gets in here with 15lb in hand on the official ratings. Set to be a popular selection, especially amongst Man United fans, given the fact he is owned by Sir Alex Ferguson. His notable wins include the Lexus Chase and Betfair Bowl. Rating 9/10

14	57011		Backstage	14/1		9	10-12	Gordon Elliott	Paul Carberry	148
Represents the yard of Gordon Elliot who had a cracking Cheltenham and landed the National with Silver Birch in 2007. Backstage has had a similar preparation to that winner easily landing a couple of points in Ireland; many believe he was going every bit as well as Don’t Push It when hampered by loose horse in race last year. Irish trainer Gordon Elliott bids to follow up victory with Silver Birch in 2007. It remains to be seen whether Backstage can take centre stage after unseating Davy Condon here last year, but connections will hope he is better for the experience. Should enjoy the trip off a fast gallop, and that’s exactly what he will get. Rating 7/10

18	52-263		Oscar Time	14/1		10	10-9	M M Lynch	Sam Waley-Cohen	145
TIP TO WIN Jockey Sam Waley-Cohen looking to be the first amateur to win the race since Marcus Armytage on Mr Frisk in 1990 and the first jockey to do the Gold Cup/National double since Jim Culloty back in 2002. Lost nothing in defeat behind The Midnight Club last time and finished runner up in the Irish National last year; major player. Having won the Paddy Power handicap at Leopardstown in 2009 and come close to victory in last year’s Irish National, Oscar Time looks just the type of horse who could challenge for Aintree honours. Talented amateur jockey Sam Waley-Cohen is bidding to complete the Gold Cup-National double. Rating 9/10

10	11-112		Ballabriggs	14/1		10	11-0	Donald McCain	Jason Maguire	150
Has been preserving his handicap mark all winter as connections believe him to be an ideal National type. Bidding to give McCain family their 5th win in race and owner Trevor Hemmings his second after Hedgehunter in 2005. Having won the Paddy Power handicap at Leopardstown in 2009 and come close to victory in last year’s Irish National, Oscar Time looks just the type of horse who could challenge for Aintree honours. Talented amateur jockey Sam Waley-Cohen is bidding to complete the Gold Cup-National double. Rating 8/10

13	21-071		Silver By Nature	14/1		9	10-13	Lucinda Russell	Peter Buchanan	148
Bidding to become the first grey in 50 years to win the race and would have every chance if the ground was no better than good to soft. Does look ground dependent but excellent win in the Haydock Park Trial last time; supporters will be praying for rain. No grey has won the Grand National since 1961, while the only victory for a Scottish-trained horse was in 1979. Lucinda Russell hopes Silver By Nature, owned by St Johnstone chairman Geoff Brown, can follow a second straight success at top weight in the Grand National Trial at Haydock and re-write history. Rating 7/10

19	0-1131		Quinz	16/1		7	10-8	Philip Hobbs	Richard Johnson	144
Racing Post Chase winner but nagging doubt that he is a better horse going right-handed. The last 7-y-o to win the race was Bogskar back in 1940 and connections appear to have had their hand forced as the horse will never have 10-8 in a handicap again. The 2011 Racing Post Chase winner is an animal destined for big things. Yet history suggests that he will not be winning this race, this year. For all his talent he lacks the experience needed to come out on top tackling these 30 obstacles over this marathon distance. No seven-year-old has won the race since 1940. Rating 8/10

8	4-2F44		Big Fella Thanks	20/1		9	11-1	Ferdy Murphy	Graham Lee	151
Has finished 6th and 4th in the last two renewals on both occasions travelling very well and perhaps just failing to get home. Reported to be the last runner to race in the colours of fearless punter Harry Findlay. Has changed stables since last year. The Big Fella makes his third National appearance in as many years and if continuing with the same rate of progression, should go close. Sixth in 2009 was followed by a creditable fourth in softish conditions last year. Question marks remain over the trip, but it’s a brave man that writes off the talented nine-year-old. Rating 8/10

20	212-42		Becauseicouldntsee	20/1		8	10-8	N F Glynn	D N Russell	144
Finished runner up in last year’s NH Chase over 4m at Cheltenham and improved again to finish 2nd in valuable Leopardstown handicap behind Majestic Concorde over Xmas; connections still deliberating whether the race will come a year too soon. Although only victorious once over fences, Noel Glynn’s horse does have some impressive placed form over long distances and on a variety of surfaces. The eight-year-old was runner-up in last season’s four mile NH Chase at the Cheltenham Festival and also finished second in the Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown. Rating 6/10

30	21-046		Bluesea Cracker	20/1		9	10-4	J Motherway	Andrew J McNamara	140
Winner of last season’s Irish National and bidding to become the first mare to win the race since Nickel Coin in 1951; below par so far this term but this looks to have been the objective all year and if she takes to the fences the 60 year wait could be over. Lived up to his name when winning the valuable Irish National at Fairyhouse last year, so is a reliable proposition stamina wise. Since then however he has failed to sparkle behind a number of horses who reoppose in this, most recently in the Bobbyjo Chase. Gets in on a handy mark and has undoubted ability. Rating 7/10

12	9P-F58		Niche Market	25/1		10	10-13	Paul Nicholls	Harry Skelton	149
Long considered the first string from the Nicholls’ yard but I’m not convinced. Won the Irish National for Bob Buckler back in 2009 but didn’t look a natural over these fences when pulled up in last year’s renewal. The combination of an attractive weight and the reputation of Paul Nicholls should make Niche Market a popular selection in this year’s race. Whilst the Ditcheat handler declares him to be in great order, the decision of Ruby Walsh to abandon the horse will do the 2009 Irish National winner no favours. Rating 7/10

37	2U-9P2		Arbor Supreme	20/1		9	10-3	W P Mullins	D J Casey	139
EACH WAY TIP Faller at the Chair last year and put up a career best when runner up to stablemate The Midnight Club (8lb worse off) in the Bobbyjo last time. Not yet guaranteed a run but one to consider if he gets into the race off his feather weight. Versatile when it comes to ground conditions, and with proven stamina, this horse showed he had the talent to bounce back from a fall at The Chair in last year’s race by running stablemate The Midnight Club very close in the Bobbyjo at Fairyhouse. Although inconsistent, the potential to challenge is definitely there. Rating 8/10

5	2/1-31		Majestic Concorde	25/1		8	11-5	D K Weld	Mr RP McNamara	155
Winner of a valuable handicap at Leopardstown over Xmas but doesn’t look to have been done too many favours by the handicapper; down the field in last year’s Cesarewitch and could return to the North West for another crack at Chester Cup! An eyecatching entry by a trainer who is famed for his prolific success with flat horses. Won a top Irish trial at Leopardstown in December and provided he can handle the expected quicker conditions, could be a big player. Has bits and pieces of smart form over both hurdles and fences so is one for the shortlist. Rating 7/10

16	56242		Calgary Bay	28/1		8	10-10	Henrietta Knight	Hadden Frost	146
Has promised more than he has delivered throughout his career but ran one of his better races at Cheltenham last time; stamina a concern and connections have not yet confirmed the race is his Aintree target. Despite producing a high class display to win the SkyBet Chase in 2009, serious doubts remain about Calgary Bay’s stamina, having been unable to live with class one rivals in races of more than three miles. With recent runs over far shorter distances, hopes that this horse can be a quality stayer may be misplaced. Rating 6/10

27	75P-1P		Hello Bud	25/1		13	10-5	Nigel Twiston-Davies	Sam Twiston-Davies	141
Former Scottish National and Becher Chase winner but almost old enough to vote and difficult to see him reversing the form with Don’t Push It as a teenager. No 13-y-old has won the race since 1923 and unlikely to buck that trend. He might be getting on in years, but this animal simply loves it around here. Ridden prominently in last year’s race he finished a gallant fifth and has since proved his well being by battling home to win the Becher Chase over the National fences in November. It would be a Twiston-Davies family fairytale should he win. Rating 5/10

24	1-11P5		State of Play	33/1		11	10-6	Evan Williams	Paul Maloney	142
Has finished placed (4th & 3rd) in the last two renewals of the race having made mistakes at vital times on both occasions. Goes well fresh so absence from the track no concern and has 10lb pull with Don’t Push It on last year’s running. Something of the forgotten horse in the race. His Grand National record makes for impressive reading, having finished third last year and fourth in 2009. This is his first outing since last season’s renewal and though he goes well fresh, it would be a magnificent training performance if he could improve to win aged 11. Rating 6/10

35	30563		Character Building	33/1		11	10-4	John Quinn	Miss Nina Carberry	140
Has long been considered an ideal sort for the National but was beaten nearly 40 lengths in race last year when he took time to warm to his task. Previous Festival winner and although there others with more obvious claims not one to dismiss out of hand. After injury prevented his National entry when well backed in 2008 and 09, his debut last year at least saw him finish the course to silence those who had doubted his resolve. Fans fondly recall a brilliant 2009 Kim Muir victory at the Cheltenham Festival will have no reservations over talented jockey, Nina Carberry. Rating 7/10

28	07-11P		West End Rocker	33/1		9	10-5	Alan King	Robert Thornton	141
Thorough stayer who ran below par on desperate ground last time but had looked most progressive until that setback. Has winning form on good ground and must enter calculations if he adapts to these unique obstacles. One of many dark horses in the race. His victory in the 3m 5f totesport Classic Chase in January appears to have allayed any stamina fears, but the big question here is whether he will act on good ground. Will attract support given the trainer-jockey combination but like others, he is an unknown quantity at Aintree. Rating 6/10

39	13-011		Skippers Brig	33/1		10	10-2	Nicky Richards	Dominic Elsworth	138
Beat leading contender Ballabriggs (giving 4lbs) fair and square last time and would meet that rival on better terms if sneaking into the race. Needs rain and a number of withdrawals if he is to make the line up. Beat Ballabriggs and Chief Dan George at Kelso last month to complete an eye-catching campaign ahead of the National, but thrives in heavy ground and is unlikely to find it bottomless at Aintree. Should the heavens open over Merseyside, a lot of smart each-way money could be heading in his direction. Rating 5/10

2	4-3226		Tidal Bay	40/1		10	11-9	Howard Johnson	Brian Hughes	159
Enigmatic chaser who was running on in sixth in the Gold Cup last time. Has a bit to find with What A Friend on that effort but if he takes to the fences has the ability to go very close. Just as likely to pull himself up however! A former Arkle winner who also has dual victories at Aintree to his name. This is his first try over the National fences however and whether he will thrive in the inevitable hurly burly is another matter altogether. Has a tendency to get behind in his races too and at the weights there are others who may appeal more. Rating 5/10

15	1-753F		Chief Dan George	40/1		11	10-12	James Moffatt	Paddy Aspell	148
Early casualty at Cheltenham last time in race he had won previous year: winner of a grade 1 at Aintree over hurdles back in 2007 but doesn’t look the force of old. Trained by James Moffatt in the Cumbrian village of Cartmel, Chief Dan George arrives at Aintree on the back of a difficult year where the potential shown in winning 2010′s William Hill Chase at Cheltenham has not been realised. However, the talent is there and this front runner remains an attractive betting proposition. Rating 5/10

4	U-7744		Vic Venturi	66/1		11	11-6	D T Hughes	A E Lynch	156
Winner of the Becher Chase over these demanding fences and never had the rub of the green last year being hampered on more than one occasion before unseating. Soft ground would help. Showed that these larger obstacles don’t scare him by winning the 2009 Becher Chase under top weight, but then disappointingly unseated in this very race last year. Has not won for over twelve months but given a clear round he may yet bounce back to form. Still, further improvement is required to claim victory here. Rating 4/10

6	42F14		Or Noir De Somoza	66/1		9	11-5	David Pipe	Tom Scudamore	155
Makes British debut for David Pipe and gave a stone and a beating to Quolibet at Auteuil back in November. Limitations, seemingly, exposed in a better class last time and hardly looks well handicapped at face value. Trainer won this in 2008 with Comply or Die but this horse is yet to compete under rules in the UK. Though he has some excellent form in France, being something of a specialist at Auteil, all his wins have come with ease underfoot and he is unproven beyond 3miles. French bred horses have a poor National record too. Rating 4/10

21	00-06P		Comply or Die	40/1		12	10-8	David Pipe	Timmy Murphy	144
brilliant winner of the race in 2008 and finished runner up in 2009. Finished down the field last year and although handicapper has given him a chance hard to imagine there is another National in him at the age of 12. Trainer won this in 2008 with Comply or Die but this horse is yet to compete under rules in the UK. Though he has some excellent form in France, being something of a specialist at Auteil, all his wins have come with ease underfoot and he is unproven beyond 3miles. French bred horses have a poor National record too. Rating 4/10

40	1d10019		Golden Kite	50/1		9	10-2	Adrian Maguire	S J Hassett	138
Won Munster National in October for Adrian “Mutley” Maguire and loves good or faster ground. Made no show in recent prep race but that is easily forgiven on ground far too soft. Should like the expected good ground, but all other indicators look inconclusive. There is not a much tougher assignment than the Grand National on your first appearance outside Ireland and it would be a suprise to see the nine-year-old contesting the finish. Having weight in hand on most will aid his cause nonetheless. Rating 5/10

9	F24-41		The Tother One	66/1		10	11-0	Paul Nicholls	Mr R Mahon	150
RANK OUTSIDER EACH WAY TIP Below par last time but ran well to be placed in Charlie Hall Chase and Hennessy Gold Cup (where he stayed on very well) in first half of the season. One of the legions of runners bidding to give Paul Nicholls’ his first win in race and should not be underestimated. Something of an enigma. Not won since 2008, but did manage a creditable second ahead of, amongst others, Calgary Bay and seasoned National campaigner Ollie Magern in the Charlie Hall. Jumping can lack fluency, but if he stays on his feet for 30 fences, there is no doubt he will relish the stamina test at the end. Rating 5/10

17	P-2536		Killyglen	66/1		9	10-10	S R B Crawford	R M Power	146
Winner at this meeting when trained by Howard Johnson a couple of years ago but now trained in Northern Ireland. Went too fast from the front at Doncaster last time and could give his supporters a run for their money from the front. This horse could be a big-priced outsider to keep an eye on having shown a good pedigree for stamina. Killyglen won the Mildmay Novices Chase at Aintree for Howard Johnson in 2009 and has continued to produce solid performances since being relocated to Stuart Crawford’s Irish stables. Rating 3/10

25	44/P3-		King Fontaine	66/1		8	10-6	Malcolm Jefferson	Denis O’Regan	142
Previously most progressive chaser although jumped poorly at Cheltenham upped in class last time. Back on a flat track he could return to form but much more needed. Pulled up in the National Trial at Haydock in February, so hard to accurately assess the potential of Malcolm Jefferson’s eight-year-old. Will have the experienced hand of Dennis O’Regan guiding him round Aintree and according to his trainer is a real genuine stayer who, with age and weight on his side could well challenge. Rating 3/10

26	3431U		In Compliance	100/1		11	10-5	D T Hughes	Leighton Aspell	141
Usually a sound jumper but made a most uncharacteristic error last time; finished 6th in the Topham last year and will give his supporters a good run for their money although he is likely to be swamped inside the final half mile. There is little in this horse’s previous form to suggest he will be involved in the finish of the 2011 Grand National. A smart chaser a few years ago but all his best outings have been at trips less than 3 miles. It would take a leap of faith to back Dessie Hughes’ entry, but as ever this prestigious race is wide open. Rating 3/10

32	2111/0		Surface to Air	150/1		10	10-4	Chris Bealby	Tom Messenger	140
Winner of the Summer National back in 2008 but was off the track for the best part of three years until finishing tailed off over hurdles earlier in the month. Hard to know how much ability he retains. Won Uttoxeter’s Summer National in 2008 by 15 lengths in great style, and on that form he would have a squeek here especially off a featherweight. Has suffered major injury setbacks since then however and there are question marks over what ability remains. Is Chris Bealby’s first ever Grand National runner. Rating 1/10

34	F-8P5P		Can’t Buy Time	100/1		9	10-4	Jonjo O´Neill	Richie McLernon	140
Has fell in the last couple of renewals of the race and made no show at the Festival last time. Does have a touch of class but unlikely that it will be third time lucky. With two falls in two attempts at the National there are plenty of questions marks about this horse, especially given recent poor long distance form. However, his stable won last year and he is handicapped at a mark he has previously won at, so a better showing is expected if he can negotiate his way around. Rating 2/10

7	F24-41		Dooneys Gate	66/1		10	11-4	W P Mullins	Mr P W Mullins	154
Yet to race beyond 3m and hardly looks first-string from the Willie Mullins yard. Winner at Clonmel last time and could be diverted to the Topham on the Friday where he would have a more realistic chance. Patrick Mullins pilots the horse owned by his mum and trained by his dad. The 10-year-old son of Oscar who won the Kilcash Chase comfortably over 2m4f at Clonmel in February is untested in this company and over Aintree’s unforgiving obstacles, but any horse from the County Carlow yard must be respected. Rating 2/10

23	1FP18P		Grand Slam Hero	66/1		10	10-7	Nigel Twiston-Davies	Aidan Coleman	143
Needs good or faster ground and granted his optimum conditions could go well at a very big price. The Twiston-Davies team were out of luck at Cheltenham but the National has been kind to the stable winning the race in both 2002 and 1998. Tends to come to hand at this time of year and will absolutely love the expected quicker going. Trainer knows how to win this too having masterminded Bindaree and Earth Summit’s victories in ’02 and ’98 respectively. Can throw in the odd dodgy leap, but could be just the type to blossom at Aintree. A live outsider. Rating 3/10

36	51P/52		Ornais	100/1		9	10-4	Paul Nicholls	Nick Scholfield	140
Even money and couldn’t win a modest Hunter Chase at Newbury last time but Paul Nicholls is reported to be very sweet on his chances (yes I know he is with all of his horses!) given the horse has only just returned from a two-year lay off. Ornais is not the best known animal in the Paul Nicholls stable and it is hard to know whether he will bounce back from several leg injuries to fulfill the potential shown when as a six-year-old he ran fifth in the National Hunt Chase at the Festival. There is a chance he could be seriously underestimated, but it’s hard to tell. Rating 2/10
.
38	5U-42P		Royal Rosa	100/1		12	10-3	Howard Johnson	Paul Gallagher	139
Finished 2nd & 3rd in the last couple of renewals of the Becher Chase but has never fulfilled early promise; hard to make a case for. After winning a grade one contest at Punchestown in 2003, big things were expected from his career over fences but so far he has disappointed more often than not. Royal Rosa placed in the last two Becher Chases, but may struggle to rise to the more onerous Grand National challenge. Rating 1/10

22	FF25P		Quolibet	200/1		7	10-8	Jonjo O´Neill	M P Walsh	144
Very disappointing on his British debut in the X-Country race at the Festival and another 7-y-o looking to buck a 70 year trend. No surprise to see him swerve race and let him acclimatise with next year’s renewal in mind. With just a sole career victory over fences to date and a number of other negatives, including a very disappointing recent effort in Cheltenham’s Cross Country contest (PU), victory here would be a minor miracle. Grey horses have a desperate race record and with three falls in his last six starts he is one to avoid. Rating 1/10

29	207710		Santa’s Son	150/1		11	10-5	Howard Johnson	Jamie Moore	141
Won a hurdle at Musselburgh back in February but no show at Cheltenham over 2m last time. The step up in trip by another two-and-a-half-miles will have to bring about significant improvement if he is to take a hand. Versatile sort who has won in lively conditions and on bottomless ground. He should run his race regardless but may just finish in his own time unless the step up in trip conjures dramatic improvement. The handicapper has given him a chance but there are too many negatives to warrant serious consideration. Rating 1/10

31	391059		That’s Rhythm	150/1		11	10-4	Martin Todhunter		140
The weight of the McCann money was enough to get him on the floor in the Scottish National of 2009 when he was travelling like a winner. Impressive winner at Bangor back in August and loves good ground but never struck me as the type for Aintree. Has not tasted victory since August when he triumphed in a relatively minor handicap chase at Bangor. Will probably find this all a bit too much and nothing he has done previously suggests he is anywhere near capable of being anything other than an also ran. Disappointing attempts at extreme distances previously. Rating 1/10

33	234PP		Piraya	150/1		8	10-4	David Pipe	Johnny Farrelly	140
Disappointing grey who has yet to win beyond 2m 5f and well below par of late: makes no appeal. Has failed to finish in three of his previous six starts so looks to be one of the more unreliable types in the race. The astronomical odds on offer really do reflect his chances, but then again Mon Mome won this very contest in 2009 at 100/1. Trainer knows what it takes to win the race but this is by no means his first string. Rating 1/10

Jonjo O’Neil On Winning The Grand National

At The Races have done an excellent feature about winning the Grand National….

Of course he trained the winner in 2010 ridden by Tony McCoy.

Denman Tops 2011 Grand National Betting

admin — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 10:40:27 +0000

Could Gold Cup Winner Denman line up in the Grand National 2011? Well it seems he may and is 10/1 favourite to do so….

Denman for Aintree?

Here is the early betting….

John Smith’s Grand National – totesport bet: 14 Denman, 20 Big Fella Thanks, Black Apalachi, Don’t Push It, Merigo, 25 Bluesea Cracker, Niche Market, State Of Play, 33 Arbor Supreme, Backstage, Ballabriggs, 40 Character Building, Maljimar, Mon Mome, The Package, Tricky Trickster.

McCoy Wins National on Don’t Push It

admin — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 16:47:28 +0000

Tony McCoy finally won the John Smith’s Grand National as Don’t Push It – his 15th ride in the race – provided the champion jockey with a famous win at Aintree.

Black Apalachi was prominent throughout but McCoy was always stalking him on the second circuit. As they jumped the last together, McCoy galvanised his mount to take up the running before the Elbow and the relief the record-breaking rider showed immediately afterwards was immense.

An almighty gamble in the minutes before the four-and-a-half-mile marathon saw the Jonjo O’Neill-trained Don’t Push It sent off the 10-1 joint-favourite along with Big Fella Thanks, with the latter ridden by Barry Geraghty in the absence of the injured Ruby Walsh.

Geraghty was another still going well approaching the second-last, along with 17-year-old Sam Twiston-Davies on Hello Bud.

But Black Apalachi and Don’t Push It pulled clear and it was McCoy who took the plaudits as he won by five lengths.

State Of Play went one better than last year to stay on for third, with Big Fella Thanks fourth and Hello Bud fifth.

Legendary owner-gambler JP McManus had been trying to win the Aintree spectacular for years but his ambition finally came true.

Nina Carberry, attempting to become the first woman to win the race on Character Building, had a great spin round to finish seventh with Snowy Morning sixth to add to his good record in the race.

Last year’s winner Mon Mome still appeared to be going well when he fell at the 26th fence.

A tearful McCoy said: “I’m being a big wuss. It means everything to me to win the Grand National.

“I’ve won lots of big races and I’m supposed to be a good jockey, but to not win the Grand National would be a bit of a negative on the CV.

“I’m delighted for my mum and dad as they’ve been great for me throughout the years, and for my wife Chanelle and my daughter Eve, who is two and a half.

“Hopefully now she’ll be proud of me when she grows up.”

Grand National Tip…

The 2010 Grand National can go to last years winner Mon Mome. Here is our free preview of the 2010 Grand National…..

At Cheltenham the Gold Cup was all about Denman, Kauto Star and the winner Imperial Commander but in third place was a huge run from Mon Mome.

A 100/1 winner last year Mon Mome comes back to Aintree with a new jockey, Aidan Coleman who takes over from Liam Treadwell. I think he is still capable, despite the weight, of winning again. Turning for home at Cheltenham Mon Mome was miles back and ran on up the Cheltenham Hill, making up ground.

Venitia Williams will have him spot on for this and one thing we know is that he handles Aintree and those big stiff fences. In my view Mon Mome is the one to be on to take a back to back Grand National victory.

MURPHY OPTS FOR COMPLY OR DIE

admin — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 13:13:38 +0000

Timmy Murphy will partner Comply Or Die in the John Smith’s Grand National at Aintree on Saturday.

Murphy had the choice between riding The Package or last year’s runner-up – both of whom are from the David Pipe yard – but has elected to stay loyal to the 2008 winner.

Graham Lee, also a former Grand National winner, will ride The Package.

David Johnson, who owns both horses, told At The Races: “Timmy Murphy will ride Comply Or Die. I’ve just been speaking to him and I told him it’s make your mind up time, so he’s decided to stay with Comply Or Die.

“It doesn’t surprise me as he’s come first and second for the last two years and it’s very hard to get off that.

“Graham (Lee) will ride The Package and he was very pleased with him the other day.

“I think they’ve both got big chances, but it’s a very tough race and every horse in the race has a chance.”

Comply Or Die has only been seen twice since finishing second behind Mon Mome 12 months ago.

He is due to shoulder 11st 5lb in this year’s renewal of the world’s greatest steeplechase.

The Package, who will carry 10st 7lb, was last in action at the Cheltenham Festival, where he was narrowly touched off in the William Hill Trophy.
