Binocular is 5/2 for the Aintree Hurdle on Saturday

Hasn't had a tough race like Peddlers Cross because of Hendersons up and he needs to make up for that here, all the noises before Cheltenham from McCoy were good and was 11/4 before being pulled out, McCoy again has been saying he's on top form, its got a great cruising speed like the Fly I don't think the extra distance will be a problem.

Peddlers Cross should be an Even money shot, worth steaming into IMO.

2.00

A Media Luz 8/1 and 2/1 place

Need to forgive its last run at Cheltenham when it was pulled up, shes shown that she has alot of talent, being a speed horse I think Aintree should suit better (ran to 101 on the flat) she also gets just under a stone in weight off 9 of the other 14 horses which is a massive amount to have on her side if she runs near her best form.

Want to back Master Minded in the Melling but going to wait and see if soft is in the ground tomorrow

You also thought it would win the Champion hurdle

Peddlers might get smashed into over the next 48 hours but Binocular at 5/2 is huge for me, very like the Fly IMO would of been very interesting to of seen the two battle it out as I said on here I thought those two would be hard held coming up the home straight but it ended up being just Hurricane Fly doing it, of course am having to trust McCoys word that he's at his best but if he is I reckon he will stalk Peddlers Cross and do him for toe on the run for home.

Meh. £1.70 back from my Lucky 15 ha.

On The Midnight Club for National @ 33's

Off to Aintree tomorrow on a freebie corporate day with suppliers (leaving at 6am ) so any tips or big priced fancies gratefully recieved so I can show off.

Peddlers won in impressive fashion at Aintree 12 months ago. Hard to get away from. Binocular does have freshness on his side.

Some early tips for tomorrow:

2:00 - Sire de Grugy, Alarazi or Oilily.

2:30 - Wayward Prince and Golan Way

3:05 - Albertas Run and Tranquil Sea.

3:40 - Dev and Alfa Beat

4:15 - Sparky May and Back In Focus

4:50 - Golden Chieftain and Cloudy Spirit

5:25 - Tante Sissi and Thynetocatcher.

Good Luck All

My lucky 15 for today:
2:00 - sire de grugy
2:30 - wayward prince
3:05 - master minded
3:40 - mon parrain

Wasn't much of a field against it though.

What Binocular did to Celestial Halo in 2008 at Aintree now that was impressive.

I'm going to ask Carney's Pint to list the runners in order of preference.

And then back the bottom five in the list

Ceol Rua 14/1 E/W in the Bumper

Got to respect what the master sends over, the horse it beat last time is now rated 120+ after winning a few races, Mullins thinks its improving all the time and will be better for the dry ground, coral are a huge 14/1 which is a great EW price.

3.05

Master Minded 11/2 and 2.42 place.

Wanted to see if 6/1 was coming but its not yet still got BPG, got to hope the ground has enough soft in it for him but its certain not to be as quick as he faced at Cheltenham, he's such a class act on his day at the prices its hard not to get involved think the trip will be fine he went over 2m 4f as a 4yo in France plus has won over 2m 3f this season.

Al Co 16:50 33/1 worth a little dabble
