    Tips for the Grand National

    OK...what's your grannies next door neighbor's mate down the pub been blabbing about?

    I got a hot tip for Philson Run. Last tip from this person romped home at 4/1 so I'll be putting my money on that.

    Another source has told me Slim Pickings and Butlers Cabin.

        Turko for me, a young horse but good jumper but I wont tell you how I decided Turko as its a bit complicated and I dont understand it myself...but Turko it is.

              I quite fancy Butlers Cabin . He won the Irish national last year but hasn't been too good this year but my suspicion is that the trainers have been holding him back for this one .Got a good jockey on him to

                  Slim Pickings is one im looking at. Fell last year though, should make good this time

                    I was going to just go ?20 on Turko but as he is a young horse I have decided to back Bulters cabin aswell because I read some good reports about him.

                    ?10 on both Turko and Bulters cabin and I am definetly not changing my mind this year.

                        he was in the original list of 90, but didnt make the 40, unless he's been brought in as a reserve, but i doubt that Elric as Thommo posted alist of reserves
