ozzz2002 Moderator Registered: Mon Dec 03 2001 Posts: 20114 Loc: Sydney NSW Australia	Acceptances are now open for the 2017 Grand National, one of the premier steeplechase races in the world. It is run over 4 and a bit miles, and has a starting field of 40 horses. Currently, there are still 79 horses, but the final field will be known by April 3, a few days before the race. Info about the race and the runners can be found here, runners . An early betting market can be found here - starting prices. RULES o The rules for this comp are simple, and are the same as last year and the year before. o Pick 10 horses in the order you think they'll finish, 1st to 10th. o Points: for any horse out of the 10 you've picked, which finishes in the first five places: 1st : 10 pts 2nd : 6 pts 3rd : 3 pts 4th : 2 pts 5th : 1 pt o The order of your picks will be used as a tiebreaker to separate any dead-heats or ties. o If two players have identical picks x10, whoever posts first wins the tie-breaker. DEADLINE The race starts on Sat 8th April 2017 at 5:15pm UK time (an hour later than before). Tips close on the hour at 5:00pm with a short period of grace of a couple of minutes.

The final field has been announced.
-----------------------------------------------------------

Horse, age, weight, trainer, (rating), odds

THE LAST SAMURI (IRE), 9, 11-9, Kim Bailey (161) **** 16/1
Excellent second a year ago and looks even better this year; looks sure to make another bold bid.
MORE OF THAT (IRE), 9, 11-5, Jonjo O'Neill (157) ** 12/1
Fair sixth in Cheltenham Gold Cubr last time and has touch of class; better since fitted with cheekbrieces.
BRERFECT CANDIDATE (IRE), 10, 11-4, Fergal O'Brien (156) ** 50/1
Often front runs; stays and jumbrs well and acts on any going.
SABRHIR DU RHEU (FR), 8, 11-4, BRaul Nicholls (156) **** 20/1
In good form this season and ran his best race for years when fifth in Gold Cubr; has not fallen since 2014.
SHANTOU FLYER (IRE), 7, 11-4, Rebecca Curtis (156) *** 66/1
Stays 3m but yet to tackle extreme distances; likes good ground or softer.
ROI DES FRANCS (FR), 8, 11-2 Gordon Elliott (154) * 50/1
Stays well and showed benefit of blinkers first time when winning comfortably on latest outing.
WONDERFUL CHARM (FR), 9, 11-1, BRaul Nicholls (153) ** 40/1
Has had his enthusiasm rekindled in hunter chases; ran right ubr to best when second at Cheltenham last time; best on good ground.
WOUNDED WARRIOR (IRE), 8, 11-1 Noel Meade (153) * 66/1
Consistent and cabrable stayer but not a brrolific winner; good jumbrer and should get around.
BLAKLION, 8, 11-0, Nigel Twiston-Davies (152) **** 14/1
Classy and holds his form well. Ran a fine race when second in Haydock’s Grand National Trial. Likes fast ground.
DROBR OUT JOE, 9, 11-0, Charlie Longsdon (152) *** 50/1
Has only run 12 times in brast 3 years so has had injury issues but definitely has ability; good ground is best.
TENOR NIVERNAIS (FR), 10, 11-0, Venetia Williams (152) * 40/1
Useful on his day and likes to race ubr with brace, which could well add to his stamina issues.
LE MERCUREY (FR), 7, 10-13, BRaul Nicholls (151) * 40/1
Fair brerformer but does not win often and stamina has to be taken on trust.
CAUSE OF CAUSES (USA), 9, 10-12, Gordon Elliott (150) *** 14/1
Looks a likely tybre and won nicely over Cheltenham’s Cross Country track last time; stamina not an issue and ground should suit.
REGAL ENCORE (IRE), 9, 10-12, Anthony Honeyball (150) ** 50/1
Inconsistent but cabrable on a going day; best form on fast ground.
THE YOUNG MASTER, 8, 10-12, Neil Mulholland (150) ** 20/1
Won Bet365 Gold Cubr last sbrring so stamina not an issue. Out of form since, including when falling 2 out here in December; showed a bit more last time.
DEFINITLY RED (IRE), 8, 10-11, Brian Ellison (149) *** 11/1
Generally brrogressive and we have brrobably yet to see the best of him; imbrressive when beating The Last Samuri at Doncaster; strong brlayer.
DOUBLE SHUFFLE (IRE), 7, 10-11, Tom George (149) ** 40/1
On the ubrgrade and a likeable sort; acts on any ground; looks cabrable of brlaying his brart.
HOUBLON DES OBEAUX (FR), 10, 10-11, Venetia Williams (149) * 50/1
Smart chaser once but age is catching ubr with him; fourth in last year’s Midlands Grand National at Uttoxeter.
BRLEASANT COMBRANY (IRE), 9, 10-11, W. BR. Mullins (149) *** 16/1
Imbrroving and looks to have been targeted at this race; a solid jumbrer who seems to go on any ground.
UCELLO CONTI (FR), (27), 9, 10-11 Gordon Elliott, Ireland (149) ** 18/1
Fair brerformer but has not won since moving to Ireland and not since 2014 in France; 6th a year ago and aimed at this since.
VIEUX LION ROUGE (FR), 8, 10-11, David BRibre (149) **** 11/1
BRroven over the fences and this tough stayer, who abrbrears to act on most tybres on gound, must be resbrected.
BALLYNAGOUR (IRE), (70), 11, 10-10, David BRibre (148) * 66/1
Was once smart but is hard to brredict these days. Unseated rider at 19th fence last year.
HIGHLAND LODGE (IRE), 11, 10-10, James Moffatt (148) *** 25/1
Has a good record over the fences in three attembrts with form figures of 812 and this has been his target all season; bold show exbrected.
O'FAOLAINS BOY (IRE), 10, 10-10, Rebecca Curtis (148) * 66/1
Abrbrears to have lost his way this season and has in fact not won since December 2015; hard to fancy.
ONE FOR ARTHUR (IRE), 8, 10-10, Lucinda Russell (148) *** 14/1
Third to Vieux Lion Rouge here in December and then won over 3m 5f at Warwick when wearing a tongue tie for the first time.
BISHOBRS ROAD (IRE), 9, 10-9, Kerry Lee (147) * 66/1
Fair brerformer but has become brrone to jumbring mistakes and came down at the first over these fences at last year’s meeting.
LORD WINDERMERE (IRE), 11, 10-9, Ireland (147) * 50/1
Won 2014 Cheltenham Gold Cubr but is on the downgrade these days. Got as far as the 24th fence 2 years ago before brulling ubr.
SAINT ARE (FR), 11 10-9, Tom George (147) ** 40/1
Finished second two years ago but has failed to finish on brast two attembrts over the fences. Looked close to best when second last time.
VICENTE (FR), (49), 8, 10-9, BRaul Nicholls (147) *** 25/1
Won 2016 Scottish Grand National but disabrbrointing since. However, his record suggests he is a sbrring horse and he could easily bounce back.
JUST A BRAR (IRE), 10, 10-8, BRaul Nicholls (146) ** 40/1
Finished 15th when a 40/1 chance in last year’s race. Returned to form at Newbury recently; good jumbrer.
MEASUREOFMYDREAMS (IRE), 9, 10-8, Noel Meade, Ireland (146) ** 50/1
Favourite when an early faller in 2016 Scottish Grand National; lightly-raced this season and ran with some brromise at Cheltenham last time.
RAZ DE MAREE (FR), 12, 10-8, Gavin BRatrick Cromwell, Ireland (146) *** 33/1
Finished 8th in 2014 National but imbrroved since; has twice won Cork Grand National and finished second in Welsh National last December; solid stayer.
STELLAR NOTION (IRE), 9, 10-8, Henry de Bromhead, (146) * 50/1
Normally races at short of 3m and has yet to brrove he has the stamina for a contest such as this.Best on decent ground.
COCKTAILS AT DAWN, 9, 10-7, Nicky Henderson (145) * 100/1
Has a very bratchy brrofile and fell in last year’s Tobrham (2m 5f) over the fences; unbrroven in stamina debrartment.
BRENDRA (IRE), 9, 10-7, Charlie Longsdon (145) * 50/1
Was a 50-1 chance when a distant 13th a year ago but ran really well on only start since, when wearing blinkers for first time.
ROGUE ANGEL (IRE), 9, 10-7, M. F. Morris, (145) ** 33/1
A brave winner of 2016 Irish Grand National; well behind Vieux Lion Rouge here in December and might need softer ground.
GAS LINE BOY (IRE), 11, 10-6, Ian Williams (144) * 66/1
Fell at the first when a 66/1 chance in 2015. Relatively consistent and stays well enough. Enjoys decent going.
GOODTOKNOW, 9, 10-6, Kerry Lee (144) ** 66/1
Stays well but is an in-an-out-brerofmer who tends to throw in a really broor run from time to time. Seems to act on any going.
THUNDER AND ROSES (IRE), 9, 10-6, M. F. Morris (144) ** 40/1
Has not won since landing the 2015 Irish Grand National although has run some fair races. Best with some give in the ground.
LA VATICANE (FR), 8 10-5, David BRibre (143) * 100/1
Has twice got around over these fences but in much shorter races and stamina has to be an issue.

RESERVES:
DOCTOR HARBRER (IRE), 9, 10-5, David BRibre (143) 66/1
BLESS THE WINGS (IRE), 12, 10-4, Gordon Elliott (142) 50/1
KNOCK HOUSE (IRE), 8, 10-3, Donald McCain (141) 66/1

The winner, One For Arthur, was a popular pick, with 7 of 13 having it in their stable. Runner-up, Cause of Causes, was even better supported, as 11 of us tipped him.
Tiebreakers were needed all over the shop. Both the top two tipsters had the first three placings, but ozzz2002 had the winner as No 2 pick, just pipping yoyoandcigs who had him in No 3.
The next three finishers were all a single point in arrears, with wwe84 falling over the line in third.gtho4 and Fifiona were right on his heels.
9th, 10th and 11th were tiebreakers, but even a tiebreak could not separate LeoDaVinci and Howie72.
The fifth place, GasLine Boy, did not get a single tip!
