    Just read about Party Politics winning the Grand National 5 days before 1992 General Election.

    Will lightning strike twice with White Star Line winning the Pulteney a day after the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.

    without being pedantic (spelling) it was april 15th she sank, what with me being a keen Titanic enthusiast and all, but yeah, was thinking the exact same thing!!!! ackertac in the same race is one of my naps of the week, gone through the trends with fine tooth comb and he meets the lot, enough to sway me off my Favourite trainers Bless the wings, but yeah White star line winning in the year of the 100th anniversary, headlines already written for that one!

    I think the Irish are going to draw first blood! 13th March.

    My selection on the 1.30 Chelteham is  " Steps To Freedom"6/1

    (Has beaten both Prospect Wells and Montbazon, giving them both weight,I see no reason why anything should change).

    Cheltenham is very competitive and I usually dutch my bets.
    In this race I have also done Sous Les Cieux  89/1 e/w
                                                   Hinterland 94/1 e/w

    no reason why anything should change? aye 'cos being novices theyre absolutely null and void to any improvement cough cough cough. to be fair to your prediction STF would have to go close, i see it being in top 5,  but 123 days since last run is a huge obstacle to overcome, though has shown handles course at least. beat montbazon in a bumper not over timber. montbazon has improved ten fold

    your other two are most definately non runners

    good luck with your selection

    Night before the Arkle, can't believe Menorah is still 11/1 with Stan James. Gonna have to back it a FOURTH time. (prob have more egg on my face tomorrow). This horse is rated 9 lbs + better than all its rivals over hurdles. 13 lbs superior to the fav'. Its jumping isn't as bad as people make out. Hoping Cue Card makes it a real speed test, then watch Menorah storm up the hill.

    *update* price went at 8.26pm, back to 10/1, but as I'd already deposited funds in my Stan James account still backed it again.

    im putting him in my placer as well as having speculative 1 pt win on him just down to hes the only value left in race, course form and highest hurdles rating, captain chris went under radar last year and look what happened. favs hav stinking record also. heres hoping al ferof can follow him home and get a decent pot up for placepot which, even with the fly and lady q winning on card could pay a generous return if sprinter fails to place

    Use of the dutching calculator is very helpful and I always use it at these sort of meetings.

    I seem to remember on the footy show Saint and Greavesy (itv,pre sky!) had a free Charity bet of £25 on Party Politics winning the National and I think it was Liverpool winning the F.A cup that year.I think the odds were at least 250/1.
