Just saved £5 by not betting on the horse I picked which fell over somewhere in the middle. Would have been gutted if it had won. Just as exciting and less costly to not bet and hope it loses.

Give her a nose-bag she'll stay all day long. Maybe this race has come a bit too early but she'll wear the crown one day. Surely the 'people's horse'...well, we do all pay for the stable fees. Could do with a good 'shoeing' next time out.

Well fancied by itself, punters not so keen. Fell awkwardly recently after shooting itself in the foot. Riding with blinkers. beau-jolly on "Your handy guide to the horses that might get shot at this year's Grand National" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=41517#post-118344 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 09:48:00 +0000 beau-jolly 118344@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ Pullme-pushyou: 360:355. Similar to Dr. Doolittle's nag but with 4 legs and 2 arseholes. Could move at speed if it knew where it was going. Was worth an each way vote last time out.

I'd just started jotting a few notes about a cursed office sweepstake where one bloke always gets the horse that dies. Maybe I'll finish it anyway. But for what it's worth, one more to consider: Carroll: 35 Million to sod-all in one season. Once considered international class but now recognised as heavily handicapped with a lack of pace and any ability whatsoever, more of a donkey with a pony tail than a thoroughbred, not much value in this nag any more.

Heardthekneepopinbootle: 12-1. Much fancied last year, has let herself go a bit since then. Horse-shaped and massive, no idea what the little chap in pyjamas really sees in her. Gorgeous George: 250-1. Claims to be an experienced steeplechaser who cares deeply about the Altrincham course but many are yet to be convinced. High price suggests punters not as gullible as voters. twelvebore: 4-3F. Part of horse-racing royalty, the double-barrelled name is a clue to how well she'll do once she lands awkwardly the second time round. Can'tIjusthobble?: £4-50/lb. Disappointed in Hamlet but stands a chance here, because it's a horse. Mylittlepony: From £19.99. Smaller than most of the other horses and no experience at this or any other level. Price has been driven down by the backing of many young girls whose parents shouldn't really be encouraging them to gamble. Frenchpeasant'sdelight: All the 5s. Well loved over the channel, with new potatoes and a bottle of plonk. Whipping keeps them tender, tastes just like beef. Derek: Ch4-10pm. Ran well in the office handicap, later disqualified for not being handicapped enough. Still loveable, although could be shot in the car park, if the going gets heavy. Thatlovelymichaelbublé: 36 going on 80. The grannies' favourite. Remembers rationing. Brittle bones, so could soon be backing stamps and envelope flaps. Whatswrongwithyouyoumorons: £1.20/litre: Still some doubts about this one, recently underwent an operation to remove two horns and some udders. Saddle appears to be drawn on. Could be a cow.
