Good EW bet. He's a stayer but dubious about his jumping. He fell at the first fence last year didn't he?

yeah, not a bad bet; he's come in now to 50/1

Cant honestly remember mate if it fell or not; but the national is a lottery - as proved last year

The fences are too big IMO

Nuts!! Although i expect 80k isnt a massive amount of money for him if he is flinging 5k on a horse in the grand national!
