I've been struggling to find horses that I like this year but come up with 5 this year:

Darkness has a touch of class about him, though I dont like Wayne Hutcheson

I backed Mon Mome at 200-1 as he was simply way too big for this.

Even though, I work with stats every bloody day, this race is slowly turing into a conditions chase - its only a matter of time when horses over 11 stone start winning regularly. Just to try to prove my point I backed Cloudy Lane at 100-1, even though hes nearly 20 pounds higher than last year. He is a much better horse last year and given what they learned about him last year, he will go a lot closer.

Of the rest, Offshore Account (again has that touch of class but wouldnt be a trends horse) and Kilbeggan Blade interest me..

Anyway good luck, Ive already spent way to much money on this race, but if one of the 5 above win (or one of my personal fav horses Zabenz places) Ill be delighted..

Hope you find a place Spyder - here's a glimpse of what you see at Aintree. Tons of rather non-attractive women wearing very little.. 40 year old grannies wearing the same outfits as their 80 year old grannies!!!

Fair play mate.

I didn't think he had a chance after getting beaten a mile off a 4lb lower mark in this last year.

He bucked two big trends today: He's a French bred and had finished unplaced in the race before.
