Yeah any wins are now kind of irrelevant in terms of the "win" part as all of your bets are now on the place part. All the win parts are voided. But obvs if you have a winner it'll count for one of the place parts.

Yep have always backed Politologue. Beautiful horse, so glad it has finally won a big one. Deserved finish that. Bookies will have loved that, all money on Defi. Altior may not have been there but take nothing away from Politologue, that was a strong finish, where he should've been pushed harder by both Defi and Dynamite Dollars.

L15 looking good PP

I have an e/w treble in;

4.10 Easyland 4s
4.50 Palladium 5s
5.30 Queens Brook 7s

My own "outsiders" e/w L15 is;

3.50 Politologue @9s
Win (Have always backed this horse)

4.10 Neverrushacon @33s
(Would love a place. Others ahead have PU/Fell. Hard to see past Tiger Roll)

4.50 Aramax @11s
(Was either that or Tronador but 5 places is attractive for a L15)

5.30 Israel Champ @11s
(Looked at Panic Attack as worthy contender and Queens Brook is my main pick above as about time Codd had a strong win this festival. Israel Champ can make the frame. Don't let that 6th fool you. Has won listed races here. Will run well)

Yes, even if you didn't back him, got to feel pleased for Politologue.

Totally agree. Have backed him in the National before and was placed (I think) but always the nearly horse but has always kept faith. Was a double for Mullins there too. Now that would've been a nice forecast but most forecast would be either Defi & Politologue or Defi & Dynamite.

Indeed, its rare my weakness for backing a grey pays off!

Easyland really kicked on in the final two fences. Yet again the bookies win for both features. Gordon Elliot will not be happy with Tiger Roll or Donohue. You thought Tiger would close but Easyland just pushed on. Strong finish. Future place finish in the National but today is about Cheltnumb and what a Cross Country win.

This may have been one race too many for Tiger and I hope the horse isn't too exhausted. Can't see it winning  the Grand National off that.

Aramax holds to win the Juveniles. Got her at 11s

2nd Night Edition 16s
3rd Saint D'roux 14s
4th Recent Revelations 16s
5th Clemencia 66s

Interestingly Geraghty preferred to ride Mick Pastor over Aramax. Bet he rues that now. Mark Walsh happy though as he got to keep his regular ride and won!

Palladium PU around 2 from home when looking like it had positioned nicely. As always, horse safety is paramount and kudos to the jockey for taking Palladium out the picture. Must've sensed/felt something not right. Great win for Aramax.

Ferny Hollow wins the Bumper at 11s. Totally missed that one!

2nd Appreciate It 15/8
3rd Queens Brook 8/1
4th Third Time Lucki 16/1

Israel Champ led too early and ran out of steam. Still a decent run for an outsider.

Still not a bad day for myself and others no doubt. What did your L15 pay out in the end PP? That was looking on for some good money until Tiger Roll. Mind you, I wish I'd put Easyland into mine as I'd be looking at 3 winners on 9s, 11s and 4s @ £1 e/w L15. Would've been around £900 to play with.

Only one of the 4 won, so peanuts in the end. Did get on Easyland outright about 10 seconds before they went off though, so another good day.
