Flat racing is for gamblers, steeple chasing is for mugs, according to professional gamblers. ::) ::) So, I will give this a miss, like I do every year. :y

You're missing the whole point, tight arse. The national is the one race where you never expect to win, but it's a good bonus + bragging rights if you do. It's the build up and the race itself that make folk have a flutter.
I just hope and pray that some innocent animal doesn't have to give it's life for our enjoyment.

Pleasant Company for me  . . . for the following reasons:

Very good chance it will be an Irish winner

Trained by Willie Mullins . . .top trainer

Ridden by Ruby Walsh   . . top jockey

Horse is right in the middle of the handicap

16-1 . . . . winner is more often below 20-1 than above 20-1

Get on this morning as pretty sure it won't be 16-1 at the off.

Thought I had won with 1st 3rd and 5th, as I couldnt remember all the horses I had backed. :-\

But had a win plus 2nd, so a tidy little proffit for me ::) ::)

I havent had a bet since 2005 when I won £100 on hedge hunder, but I dont like the way betfair is anymore, couldn't navigate the site to see my bets, no live betting availble, ah well, might try again next year. :y

I didn't get a look in, but my bleedin missus won again, just like last year. Wouldn't mind, but as I put the bets on, it costs her nowt if she loses.

One with four legs and a tail would probably be a start ;D
