Think I've found a winner today. Really like this one... Hannah's Princess in the 2.35 Newbury looks a great each-way bet at 7/1 or bigger. Love the stable and I think the longer trip will help a lot. Posted by NChanning

Good mr channing. Off to the scottish national tomorrow and wondering if u have any tips and what to look out for. IM not to clued up when it comes to horses but any advice would be much appreciated.
Hi Chris, I've been a bit quiet on this thread the last couple of weeks. Aintree was very hectic and I only like to post if I'm having a bet. It's also a bit tricky sometimes because I have a tipping site where people pay for write ups.
I definitely haven't done great in terms of posting winners on here and I really want to change that. The good thing about betting in the 7/1 to 20/1 range is that two winners can easily turn any bad run around.
I'm going to write something about the Scottish National for the site later and I'll put it up here. I see that Sky Bet are doing five places which definitely swings things in our favour.
I suggested a few bets in last week's Grand National to our subscribers but we didn't manage to get even one in the frame this year. The most frustrating one was Al Co who I thought was really well handicapped but who only made it to the 1st fence where he came down. It must have been even more frustrating for trainer Peter Bowen who had targeted the National all year and who must have been looking forward to a big run.
One of the reasons I liked the horse so much was the fact that he won the Scottish National last year carrying just 5lbs less than he'll carry in the race this year. Another reason was that the stable always comes into form at this time of year. It may turn out to be a good thing for us. The horse galloped away loose for a while but didn't seem to exert himself too much and in this race we know he handles the track and the fences as he won easily enough last year. We also get Sean Bowen riding, which wasn't possible last week and his 3lbs claim is like stealing and more or less cancels out the extra weight.
A few firms including Sky Bet offer 5 places which is way better in this 30-runner race than it was in the 39-runner National last week. I think the 14/1 that some bookies have is very fair value but I'd happily take 12/1 if I get five places I think it could get tipped by Pricewise in the Racing Post.
I'm having 10 Points each-way Al Co at 14/1 or 12/1 getting 1/4 12345.

I've also gone for an e/w on AlCo. However, I've put a bundle on Lie Forrit. Lucinda def due a win! ;-) oh and also have a few shekels on Raz de Maree.
You have to love the Bet365 Chase although I'm still someone who loves it as the Whitbread. It is always a very competitive race but it pays at least four places and you can rule a few out pretty easily. I'm not rushing to back any of the horses that ran well at Aintree n this race, the tracks are completely different, I think people underestimate how undulating and testing Sandown is. It's also really hard for a trainer to campaign a horse with the Grand National as the aim and then to have a totally different aim just a few weeks after. These marathon races do take a lot out of the horses and I would rather have a horse that has been targeted at this.
In all horse racing I would say the ground and the ability of each horse to act on it is possibly the most important factor. I think there are a bunch of horses in this one that have all their form on soft ground and would really prefer some give.
One horse who has lots of soft ground form is Le Reve trained by Lucy Wadham, who has always said this one will be better on something a bit faster. The stable have had a good season and she's given the horse a break with the aim of bringing it here for this race as Le Reve is way better going right handed which is why Cheltenham and Aintree were never on the cards. The horse has never been over this long distance before but at Kempton he was staying on well and it shouldn't be a problem.
With 20-runners this would be a decent bet getting four places each-way but with five places from a few firms it's a great bet.
I'm having 14 Points each-way Le Reve at 8/1 1/4 12345 with Sky Bet (If you can get 9/1 with a bookmaker who offers 1234 only I would say that isn't quite as good so grab the 5 places).

This is the strongest bet on the thread for me...
