I've backed The Midnight Club at 25/1(£5ew), after it came 4th in the Kerry national(i think that was the race) where i thought it was unlucky not to do better. What are your bets for the race? I will still back what ever nag i get in the pub sweepstake for a few £ and may also back something else on the day,Dave.

Im thinking 'Junior' ive watched him over the last few months and has looked very consistant, not the best jumper mind so he might struggle, no idea who to put my money on, any ideas?
word of caution for junior backers, he's currently 68 on the list and has next to no chance of getting in, needs half of field to pull out!! he'll certainly be worth a punt though @ sandown later in month if lining up there.
the nationals still a complete minefield for me at the mo, wide open as always, bigger prices which tickle my fancy are chief dan george and one cool cookie, both available around the 40's mark, though my main fancy probs ballabriggs
topham chase prices on oddschecker, ballyholland 20/1 best price and frankie figg 10/1
will be backing frankie win only as saver, big e/w on ballyholland i've been waiting to back him since last years national, trained about 20 miles up the road from me, ate the fences up but trip stretched his stamina too far, trip ideal and big fence experience, galway plate winner also, if running from a more well known yard would surely be half the price, doubt he'll go off @ 20's more like 8's or 9's
if frankie figg's jumping holds up (IF) he could prove very hard to pass, holds strong course form
Oscar Time 11/1
Ballabrigs 14/1
£2.50 e/w on each
Only have a few bets running for me now after withdrawals:
State of Play
In Compliance
Tidal Bay
