What a wise man you are Dicerius ! Are you a Scholar ?

Fifty years on from the last grey to win the National, I'm on Silver By Nature.

[redman41]

Worth a Bet Les, you never know what may happen over 4 1/2 Miles and 40 Runners.
By saturday the ground should have dried out a fair bit as it's promising decent weather by the end of the week.

[Chaffinch]

I fancy "Big Fella Thanks", also as an each way bet "What a Friend", and "The Tother One"

St Johnstone chairman Geoff Brown's horse, silver by nature for me

[Euphemia]

Silver by Nature - matches my hair...

[albaqwerty]

I',m going with Big Fella Thanks

Reminds me of a poker playing buddy of my OH :)

[joeluke]

I've backed Backstage to win and State of Play each way

Both have plenty of experience of the National fences, which has proved an advantage in past races - Backstage was going well when hampered and unseating his rider last year, State of Play has been placed in the last 2 Nationals

I have decided to go for a couple of 33/1 Horses !
Hello Bud who is a great jumper but 13 yrs old
West End Rocker trained by Alan King but 4 yrs younger than Hello Bud.
The ground should dry out quite well by Sat which will suit both Horses.
Maybe I should stick a Pin in the Racecard and take pot luck !
