2007 Gand National

[Chick21]

We're already running the studio sweepstakes from the BBC website already.

Just picked out Royal Auclair.

Anyone got any straight from the horses mouth style inside tips? Who's the big money on this year?

Let's go!

[xraystan]

Clan Royal - at least I hope so!

[Peter UK]

Joe's Edge for me.

[joconnor]

Simon or Liberthine.

[DeadYankee]

I got this one

Apparently she's strongly fancied and likes it hard but I can't see it myself.

IMHO, it's got a very good chance. Took 50/1 on him earlier in the week. 2nd to Hedgehunter a couple of years ago when carrying more weight. Will like the going too. Trainer reports he's in the best shape for years!

[Alan b]

Ballycassidy for me in my works sweepstake.

[robzinski]

I got Simon and No6valverde in the sweep at work.

Wish I was going again this year, had a great day out last year.

[hailesy]

Ballycassidy for me in my works sweepstake.

:thumbs: worth a punt @40/1

Just stuck 75 pence on it E/W.

Checked out its form earlier today and its quite impressive for an 11 year old.

[nc]

Eurotrek is my main bet and I've also had £2 EW on Kelami @ 40/1.
Monkerhostin is the dark horse - a VERY good 2m horse. Ran 3m2 in a big race last year, everyone said he wouldn't last. But he finished like a bullet and almost won. This year in the Gold Cup he was never in it, but finished strongly to come 4th. IF he stays and doesn't get knocked over I can see him winning.

[K-19]

I have gone for Slim Pickings!!!!

[Sam]

I'm going for Bewley's Berry as my main choice and Slim Pickings as my outsider.

[Foxy Slamdangle]

[The Bear]

I'm having £1 e/w on 5 horses:

McKelvey
Monkerhostin
Royal Auclair
Ballycassidy
Naunton Brook

It's about time I won this year!

[megatron]

£5,000 e/w on:

Jack High
Bewley's Berry

[scottwilson82]

Dun Doire and Bother Na for me £5 each way :thumbs:

[kohoutec]

Point Barrow £6 win (Free Skybet offer) or Simon £2.50 e/w, and Celtic Son as my outsider e/w bet £2.50 100/1 :nuts:

[john316]

Gone £10 to win on Eurotrek (16-1), £5 e/w on Royal Auclair (22-1) and £2.50 e/w on Zabenz (50-1)

[LouBarlow]

If 316's forecasts for racing echo his football predictions, then all of those horses will need putting down by the end of the race.

[mklion123]

£5 E/W on both, Point Barrow(9/1) and Longshanks(28/1)

[The Bear]

£5,000 e/w on:

Jack High
Bewley's Berry:eek:

I think you hit the 0 key a few too many times.

[Euler]

or even after the first fence :lol:

[Prufrock]

Well, stuck a free £6 sun bet through Sky Bet on Royal Auclair. If it loses, I don't lose anything. If it wins, I'll be happy.

[Toge]

any websites which show the horses' form?

[Chick21]

[Pisces Iscariot]

It looks like half the country have gone for Monkerhostin

[Toge]

[Harsin]

I hope they send the bugger to the glue factory. That's a fiver I won't see again. Grumble, grumble... :razz:

[splobber]

I put a tenner on garryacktion and it was a bit too soft underfoot for him. :mad:

[36Degrees]

I had £10 on McKelvey.......

Obviously he was the righteous winner and Silver Birch cheated.

:)

[Goblin]

didn't win anything :(

one of the favourites (Point Barrow) fell on the first jump :D

[mcallisterian]

not won anything either

[Sam]

My husband and Mum both did Silver Birch. My husband had £2.00 win at 40/1 and £2.00 E/W at 28/1. Fortunately for me we agreed to split any winnings :D - I contributed my £1 e/w from Slim Pickings finishing 3rd (which Mum also had e/w) :lol:

Hoping that Utd beat Watford and then its time for some beers paid for by Betfred :clap:

[john316]

Total wipeout :cry:

[LouBarlow]

Told ya! :lol:

[Fever Dawg]

The starter bloke certainly milked his 15 seconds of fame! :nuts:

What a jobsworth! :lol:

[Chick21]

[Sneeka]

Bah, neither of mine finished. Send em down the pits.

[Alan b]

Ballycassidy for me in my works sweepstake.

Unseated rider at 24th fence (Canal Turn).

Looking at £130 according to the slip.

[hailesy]

There goes my £1.50.
