Can't wait, the Saturday is always quality. Usual plan is a few beers, try and win a bit on the novice races + Aintree Hurdle, then scatter a few quid on my National fancies.
May try and catch the Thursday and Friday too, depends if I can get in & out of work early. Otherwise will be a Sky+ job.

I need some quality picks for this, more the Thursday & Friday. I'm happy to take a helpless punt on the National.
The wife is away the weekend, going away for her 30th. I've probably got about forty quid to have a flutter on the Thursday & Friday. I'm hoping with you fine men providing me with winners galore, I'll be collecting and then, well y'know ... having a decent laugh whilst she's away,.

I fancied Frankie Figg for the big one, never seen a horse jump the national fences like it!
However it's now down to run in the Topham on Friday, I'll be hammering it!

| Fascinating battle ahead between Big Bucks and Grands Crus in the Meeting opener on Thursday. Carlito Brigante also in the race. Difficult to ignore Big Bucks but Grands Crus has a great chance again after Cheltenham.
I'm liking Carole's Legacy to turn over Denman in the Totesport Bowl (AP on board aswell).
Can't wait - the first Aintree meeting I'm going to miss in 4 years, so i'll be busy in the Bookies.  |

The price on Character Building will get smashed by Saturday. Grey horse, in pink colours and a female jockey. Good e/w poke.

Like to back horses at Aintree who either didn't go Cheltenham or have but haven't had too many runs this season which is one of the reasons I fancy Binocular this week so much.
A below form Denman could be beat but the two I fancy to get near are Nacarat and Punchestowns both need to step up and run to their best form, Punchestowns could have alot more to give but has shown none this season so its Denman for me.

Is that an each way poke for the female jockey ?   |

Has a female ever been placed (I guess we have to call placed first 4). Think Rosemary Henderson came 5th but don't think many bookies went 5 places in those days.

Good lay, perhaps?
No double entendre intended. |

Perhaps, but 7th last year, think 4th at the last fence last year...the stars are aligned for pinstickers, so depends on price close to the off.

Erm, I wouldn't want to sully a young lady's reputation with talk like that!

Can only think it is due to the Masters  |

Paul Nicholls has revealed in his Betfair column that both Zarkandar and Big Buck's have suffered minor setbacks this week. Big Buck's not eating Monday or Tuesday but tests came back fine and is now eating again.
Zarkandar had an abcess earlier in the week. He will love the track though I reckon, seems to like anything though - handled Cheltenham as well as he did Kempton.
May have put me off TBH. Certainly glad Paul was up front enough to let the betting public know.
Big Buck's should still do it IMO. Zarkandar should win, but, as with all novice races, there could be something lurking in the wings. Grandouet can not be underestimated whatsoever, I think he could trump him.
Dunno if I'll be backing anything, depends if I can get away from work early, but here are my quick selections for the first day.
1400 Big Buck's
1430 Grandouet
1505 Denman
1540 Fort View e/w
1615 Tchico Polos
1650 Medermit
1725 Bothy e/w
