Think I might go for Binocular now. Can't split the pair. But while Peddlers Cross is a top class horse with a great engine, Binocular is probably the best natural 2m hurdler in the game (alongside HF). He always travels strongly at Cheltenham, and has won at Aintree, so the step up will probably not hinder him.
He does have a nice cruising speed, though I'd be worried if Peddlers Cross started motoring a bit farther from home than would be preferred for Binocular. PC is as tough as they come so if Binocular was off the bridle too soon I'd be worried.
Gonna rule out any of the sloggers this year in the National as I had no luck when trying that approach last year. Gonna go for the types I have before which has usually done me ok.

Ghizao 11/10 - no Finians Rainbow
Didn't get going in the Arkle but is a class act on as shown when beating Captain Chris twice I think its better after a recent run and the Arkle was its only run so far in 2011.

| Cant see it mentioned anywhere but Victor Chandler paying 1/4 for 6 places.
Finians Rainbow at 2:15 to make some money to play with in the National.  |

Had a fiver on Cue Card. Couldn't really split the top four in the betting. Glad Drive Time is ok what a sickening fall.
Spirit Son was brilliant.

Cue Card did very well to place, no pace so pulled way too hard and then the mistake.

| Hadden Frost said Calgary Bay is very honest.
He asked the horse if it was gonna win the Grand National, and thinks it muttered back 'no'. ![]()
Yeah, Tizzard had a lot of work to do didn't he. Hit a couple of hurdles clumsily too. Doesn't seem to have much speed, didn't show a turn of foot last time either, but has a good enough engine.

Got a Finian's and Binocular double on, + a couple of singles.
Ghizao travelling really well thought he was gonna do it but Finian's kept travelling and that poor jump from Ghizao knocked him out of his stride.
Come on Binocular......

I, and several others can't deposit on Victor Chandler, and haven't been able to for at least 2 hours now. I placed my bets before it seemingly went down without issue, but I was going to put a bet on for a friend, but the deposit/chat isn't working at all.

Also struggling as well - must be huge site traffic.
Only realised that the free bet will only be credited on Monday as well which is a bit rubbish. |

Embarrassing. Down for at least 3 hours. No mention of it whatsoever in their homepage either  |

Slightly down for the day.
Becauseicouldntsee fell, What A Friend pulled up, think Midnight Club was 6th and Backstage 10th.
Lost on Binocular and Cue Card but Finians Rainbow was a crumb of consolation.
