Aintree Grand National Festival | Day 1 | Horse Racing Tips | In The Know

in that you want my stomach to be gray. Diamond, he's always been a

horse

that, as you

know

, in the past seemed like he didn't necessarily have the most resolve to finish and then he completely ran away. It is not like this? So yes, he might be interested. He ran well last year. The other one we haven't mentioned is Pay the Piper, who is a true Sharp flat track

horse

over two miles. He has won two major races in the last two starts. I thought they gave him too much to do last time and then he got there too soon.

It was a classic case of using energy. I thought at the wrong part of the race. I thought paying the piper might make a decent run at This Track but it's a very open competition here David Stevens there are a lot of contrasting opinions here and Keels will be happy to

know

you have an extra place up your sleeve and indeed we have four places each way in this race. I mentioned Tom Skidamore earlier when blogging about him for us this week. He gives a very positive mention to the favorite in this race, of course, trained by his father and Lucinda, so he's pretty close to that one, but he's come back accordingly thanks to Mr.

Siegel in the Weekender from before, uh, too I like Gray Diamond, yes he is up in the weights but he won very well at Haydock, he has run well in this race before so Gray Diamond is double the favorite for me ok Gray Diamond he is seven to one. shot so the red rum uh Mr. Keely yeah, let's go back to Capital Prices for Hatcher and mackenberg Hatcher and mackenberg sound like a crime-fighting duo, right? uh Tom, what about uh, what about you? Well I hope Douglas wins but I might have to be quick tomorrow on Gray Diamond okay fine I'll go with Pay the Piper every way David Stevens well when the BG tribute act comes up we'll definitely be performing the leading roles in Hatcher and Mackenberger's film, so there we have it.

I'm looking forward to uh Gray Diamond in every way for me in this one, yeah, I hope it's not like Randall and Hopkirk and one of us has to leave before we do it, but um, uh, shout out to Clint Fandango, yeah, we can listen to you, uh, Fandango Clan, uh. Third Time Lucky ridiculously short price as Tom Beatty says and as for the other gray Diamond napdice Shane tariki for this, uh, for 40. Adrian closed the gap with the bumper, the mayor's bumper, to be specific, uh, he managed a grade two contest. One, last year, by Astro Diamond of course, became a grade one hurdler, could we see a grade one? winner in the future here I see you in my dreams three to one uh surely Kurt Alan 41 July flower 51 career galima is eight to one dice are Enos nines in Williamstown dance for his baby of 12 Sage 16s 18 to 1 bar those Tom Siegel touch you to you now, if I see you in my dreams, frankly, something went terribly wrong and I should stop eating cheese before going to bed, but the victories are closer tomorrow, fighter, now you know you already know, Cast Away beer, don't you see in my room?

The thing about big bumpers, I mean a better view of the race than me, um, the Irishman, so only one of the first seven or eight home bar Paul Nichols is the runner who ran a cookie in the Chelten bumper, eh, Captain Teague, so while I normally, immediately, sail towards the Irish corridors, see you in my dreams, this has to be interesting given how well basically Paul Paul Nicholson's bar, Hermes Allen, I thought which had a pretty good

festival

, I thought a lot of their horses really ran. Well, I think seeing you in your dreams would go well.

The two of them, uh, in the background. The two ex-friend options for Brahmerhead's Henry and, uh, Woolly Mullins. It costs a lot of money in a very similar relationship, actually. They both ran into the same horse at some point or so in July. Flower beat him in a first grade bumper, so they're interesting. They are four-year-olds who know how good they are. And then you have the horse Kylie. obviously, yeah, I'm not even going to pronounce, try to pronounce it like number five, uh, who could, who could go well too, but, for me, I think one of the Irish will win.

I slightly prefer Willie Mullins just because Willie Mullins wins everyone. races, so Jolie, but it's not a race that has me wanting to place a bet, sure, okay, there you go, uh Keels, are you up for a bet at the till? Oh no, I'm never ready for things and bumpers, is it really a you know? they're tough, there's so many different ways up there and everyone's winning, you know, small races very easily, that sort of thing, uh, I took a chance, I've had a couple of quid, though, by baby Sage, uh, price of double figure for Alan King. who won the race twice in the last eight years and had a difference of 25 to a second and he does, uh, and she won again very easily, one of those wins a bad race very easily at work, but also she did a lot of things wrong she seemed very green hopefully that would have attracted her and she will go there with a chance okay there you go but it's a guess yeah okay there you go so David Stevens closes with the massive bumper, please, any angle, any bet, any boost, uh, absolutely. no angles, but an extra spot each way here four to one uh really no strong points Connor on what you've said, but just getting back to the brave man game in the bowl uh he's not a running back for reasons that aren't

racing

so it's fine The terrain is fine for him too but we will refund all anti-post bets on the Brave Man game Thank you management David Stevens yes yes of course there is a lot going on in terms of property, but it's okay, we'll take naps. just a second after all this from abroad, so let's take naps on the first day of the big

national

meeting, then it's quite difficult to find something at a particularly juicy price, so Keels, what are you going with?

Yeah, I'm going to go with a horse mule to go three out of three at the Entry Festival by winning the bowl, okay Tom, well it would have been a hoist for you, but for the price, first of all, how annoying is that they ruled that horse out at six o'clock on the day before the race, I mean, they had a week to say they couldn't race there, come on, well, they can do whatever they want, but at six o'clock on the day before the race. I don't think it's BH, it's actually bh4 and I'm not sure the FCA will give them monkeys about whether the race goes on or not, yeah, so what's the new nap?

So Tom, I'll probably spend late at night at the hunters. Chase, I think we'll do great again. Well, I'll go pay the piper in the handicap. Chase then and David, I'll take you on in that race with Gray Diamond. He would have been a Hoisin York, but Kills beat me. Okay, lovely things you're allowed to agree on from time to time, guys, if it makes the show more interesting if we don't, but we'll be back tomorrow night to review the first day and hopefully , get some more solid opinions. Day two certainly looks more competitive on Friday afternoon at Aintree.

Stay safe. Have a good day, see you tomorrow night. Okay, foreigner.
