Strangely, I picked and backed the wider every year that I lived in Liverpool, and have failed to do so even once since leaving. As an aside, the busiest days work I've ever done was working in a Coral in Liverpool in April 2000, it's mad up there on National day, absolutely everyone has a bet!

Had a look through and the two that look interesting so far are Darkness and Himalayan Trail.


Darkness has a lot of ability for the weight it is carrying and seems to be coming back into some sort of form.

Himalayan Trail has been hurdling in preparation just like Monty's Pass (same owner), but has previously won the Midlands Grand National so has stamina. Looks to have been held out specifically for this race for some time.

Actually owned by his wife


/Even more Statto

My mum said that a woman at her bridge club thinks Hear the Echo is worth a bet and I just asked my friend Jenny for a number between 1 and 40, she said 26. Therefore my tips for today are:

Regulars at William Hill by the Uplands grumbling that they are delayed laying their bets on the dogs as the long haired clueless masses (ok just ME) queue up to ask silly questions about betting slips.


I have:


Brooklyn Brownie E/W @ 28-1 and


Parsons Legacy @ 18-1 to win


I have just mowed a lawn, the sun is out and I have cold beer. Don't really mind what happens to my stake!

Used to work in a bookies on grand national day. Guaranteed to annoy the regulars, they should have a separate till just for dog bets I think.


I'd have been guaranteed my money back. Non-runners are wonderful!

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
