The 2017 Grand National
Discussion
I followed the Cheltenham thread with interest so thought I'd start a thread for the Grand National for anyone who wants to share tips/bets etc. I'm a fan of Willy Mullins but his entries don't sound very promising though I may have a little tickle e/w on Pleasant Company at 16/1. That said, Saphir Du Rheu sounds much better value at the same price.

I gamble daily on horses but concentrate mainly on the flat and Welsh trainers (Dave Evans, Dai Burchell, Ron Harris, Milton Bradley etc.
Don't know if anybody has been watching "Welsh Power" on ITV Wales, a three part series on Rebecca Curtis, Evan Williams Tim Vaughan and Peter Bowen? Not seen the last episode yet but it turns out that only Rebecca Curtis has a runner - gutted as I've done well out of Evan Williams runners in the past (place only at big odds).
Of Course Nigel Twiston Davies is Welsh though
Bit of advice on The National for those occasional punters that wont be in the know and the bookies certainly wont tell you - I always take out 'faller insurance' you loose a couple of points off the odds but well worth it as you get your stake back if it falls or refuses to jump.
I'll post my tip/s in a few days when I've had a closer look at Curtis's runners.

Come on then, where are your hot tips?
Just the one bet for me at Aintree today - Dineur 16:05 ew (14/1 with faller insurance at the moment).Caveat Emptor
But 28 runners is a bit of a lottery.
Cheers guys, a place was always going to be welcome (often I do place only) but the win was a massive bonus.
Dineur is a horse i've followed for years but I almost missed it today! The Bowen family train him but they keep swapping him between father (Peter) and son (Mickey) so It didn't get flagged up on my Racing Post 'stable alert'
But hey ho chalk another one up for Welsh trainers
PS. Dineur was runner up in this race last year same jockey @ 50/1
