Here are my picks for it

Any Second Now
Le Milos
Our Power
Minella Trump

I think Longhouse Poet is well the best horse in the race, if he stays on his feet, he wins.
Noble Yeats and Galvin the obvious threats.

Not had a look at the horses this year, I usually do and I do sometimes put a bob or two on a couple. I used to back a real outsider and one around the 20/1 with an each way bet, never bothered backing anything under 10/1. I have won a few quid over the years.
The going is going to be quite heavy today I would think so is going to make even tougher. Just hope all horses get home safely with no casualties

Just saw the movie Honour horse about an ex pigeon flyer who won the Welsh pigeon. Nat ,then breed a horse that won the welsh grand National ,

I have the book, it's a good story.

One of our members had a horse running at Aintree. I don’t think it was in the national though.
I see very sadly that 1 horse died/was put down in the race.

Sadly Two mate and 3 in total over the 3 or 4 days Aintree was on

It is always sad when a horse is so badly injured that they have to be put down. But out of the hundreds that raced over the meeting, it is a tiny proportion.

Honour horse was a lucky one ,that they saved ,

His name was Dream Alliance, and it was an amazing story, how a horse born and raised on an allotment went on to win the Welsh Grand National.
It was also a telling story of human nature. Envy, jealousy, revenge........
