Betting Aintree 2013

[mark1975]

I normally follow this but I haven't got a clue this year.

Any tips?

 

[Rosco]

Had First Lieutenant yesterday, yay.

And Nessie had a tip for connectivity in the last yesterday - backed it ew at 16's and it placed.

Any tips for the big one?

 

[Rosco]

Today or the national?

Today is tricky, there's some well fancied favourites who if they perform will win but not everybody who performs at cheltnham does well at Aintree.

For tomorrow, I'm trying to work out the free bet shite from Sky, I'm already with Paddy Power, but the odds with Sky seem to be rubbish and I'm not sure if you can withdraw winnings from a free bet?

 

[Got the moves like Carra]

I have absolutely no idea when it comes to horses so any tips for the National itself or any other races on the card would be greatfully received

 

[Rosco]

I haven't looked that much at it yet - the trends are now a bit redundant anyway since the handicapper changed his methods for this race.

I like Chicago Grey though for a start

 

[Rosco]

In general though my preference is for something that's run the course before - either in the national itself or the topham(?)(the other race over those fences), in the 8-10 age range, good form over three miles or more, and maybe even went hurdling earlier in the season to ensure a lower handicap here.

I think I backed Chicago Grey last time, I've left it off my betslip but might take a small punt on it in the morning.

My favourite at the minute is Teaforthree.

 

[Rafiagra]

I'm going for Teaforthree too. Please Don't take that as any kind of reassurance though.

 

[mark1975]

Looks like I got ok odds early too, 14/1. Not great but I'm guessing the odds are going to shorten throughout the day as it seems one of the tipsters favourites.

Thanks Mark, I did TFT after reading your post. Mrs VQ did Rare Bob do Hills shops pay on 5th place?

Well done lads, always great to see an outsider win though, just a shame I didn't have it 🙁 Did each ways on three of the five placed, poor return though really, but a win's a win!
