Each way mate, it will pay 4/1 for a place. Watched his last race and that was a good run, and the GN was always the target for him this season so I am hopeful.............

I did Oscar Time. He beat Siegemaster by a comfortable seven lengths in 2009, this is the same Siegemaster who recently beat Midnight Club. He then had a massive hike up in the handicap of seventeen pounds but still managed to come second in the Irish national last year (I believe he would have won if it wasn't for the added weight and it was on heavy ground). The owners of Long Run (who recently won at Cheltenham) then bought the horse as they were so impressed, which is surely a tip in itself. The jockey, Sam Waley-Cohen (who rode Long Run to victory at Cheltenham) is on the horse and he's an excellent jockey who has a very good record at Aintree. The horse is also only 10-9, so he is a little lighter than its main rivals, which will also work to his advantage. Unless the horse falls or gets hampered, he will definitely be in the frame, I have backed him each way but I really fancy him to win.

Well I wasn't far off, I knew he would be there or there abouts and would be a safe each way bet. Well done to whoever backed Ballabriggs, in the Kim Muir he appeared to tie up towards the end, so I didn't think he would be able to last an extra mile and two furlongs.
