My spies tell me there are four hot properties
everyone wants to be with this Saturday.

Lovable rogue. A law unto himself; sometimes bad, sometimes good, but always boxoffice. A real character actor, can make you laugh or cry, but this could be his defining
role. 2 32-54U1 LONG RUN (51) 9 11-9

Alan King Wayne Hutchinson
Worth a try, but he’s not so good as he or those around him would like to think.
Has absolutely no chance of staying the distance. 9 0P-1111 BALTHAZAR KING (24) 10 10-13
John Torode
T. M. Walsh Mark Walsh
Benefiting from the late withdrawal of one boy (Sunnyhill), has found himself the
frontman in new supergroup Manfred McManus, bedecked in green and gold. Catnip
to the housewives. 8 2P52-U4 WALKON (56) 9 11-0
ctor
Random X-Fal
Hopefu
Colm A. Murphy Brian O’Connell
Irish. Intense. Aggressive. Insatiable will to win in his pomp, but has met with
a few setbacks as time has gone on. Different assignment he’s now set could
easily suit him. 7 U-03U0F COLBERT STATION (34) 10 11-0
n
Ronan Keati
Paul Nicholls Noel Fehily
Still a relative youngster, therefore remains with potential, but it’s more a case
of hype over achievement so far. Good bodied, good jumper, but diving in at the
deep end again here.
6 5-F475P QUITO DE LA ROQUE (42) 10 11-1
Roy Keane
Nicky Henderson Barry Geraghty
Worked his way up, virtually unnoticed for a long while, but didn’t shine when
given a shot at the big time recently. A winner in Liverpool, though, and back there
again now. 5 1113-22 ROCKY CREEK (70) 8 11-5
Tom Daley
Nicky Henderson Andrew Tinkler
Hacked up a few times, gaining notoriety in Britain. Has returned home, tail between
his legs, having tried and failed to make it in America. Most people can’t have
him. 4 81-1310 TRIOLO D’ALENE (22) 7 11-6
John Bishop
Nicky Henderson Mr S. Waley-Cohen
Was the best at what he did a while back, but not a subscriber to the idea that it’s
better to burn out than fade away. Sullying reputation with more recent appearances,
but still has a big fan club from yesteryear. 3 686934 HUNT BALL (23) 9 11-7
Piers Morga
Paul Nicholls Sam Twiston-Davies
Philip Hobbs Richard Johnson
Has very successfully managed to carve out a specialist niche for himself, enabling
him to punch above his weight. Unsure to prove so effective in a mainstream
show. 10 76-52P7 WAYWARD PRINCE (35) 10 10-13
lhoff
David Hasse
50/1
Z-LIST
Quite a big deal once upon a time, but years since he’s done anything meaningful.
Nevertheless, often pitches up at the big events, usually out of place. 11 573112 MR MOONSHINE (35) 10 10-12

Thomas Gibney Davy Russell
Feisty and fashionable. Highly regarded in Ireland, successful there, but so far
hasn’t been that convincing in British forays. 18 12-3094 PRINCE DE BEAUCHENE (79) 11 10-10
Wile E. Coyote
Henry de Bromhead A. E. Lynch
Threatened to be the next big thing for Ireland, fresh and sexy, when first bursting
onto the scene. Still has youth on side, but has rather gone off the radar. 17 PP-5714 LION NA BEARNAI (42) 12 10-10
Laura Whitm
Johnny Farrelly Brendan Powell
Has issues. Does good work in spurts, but a meltdown is never far away. More off
the rails than on them lately, and used to shorter stretches than this one. 16 5-05103 BUCKERS BRIDGE (42) 8 10-10
Samantha M
Martin Brassil A. P. McCoy
The second member of the Manfred McManus supergroup. Looks the part, but dig
a little deeper and there’s not really much going on with him, and this could be a
key change too far.
15 11-1PRP BATTLE GROUP (105) 9 10-10
n
Lindsay Loha
Donald McCain Henry Brooke
Lessons learned? Didn’t work the first time, yet given a second run, with the same
disappointing result. If at first, or second, you don’t succeed, don’t try again,
surely.
14 111116
Nicky Byrne
Rebecca Curtis Nick Scholfield
A big hitter and the Pride of Wales, conveniently overlooking the fact he’s not
100% Welsh. Hard, will go the distance, and making a Rocky-style comeback
(third last year).
13 10-581U ACROSS THE BAY (49) 10 10-11
Splash!
Sue Smith Ryan Mania
Northern heft. Anonymous for much of career, but a mid-life flourish has seen
him unexpectedly and suddenly come to the fore. Can boss certain environments,
but ideas above his station here, albeit a local hero.
12 203-928 TEAFORTHREE (22) 10 10-12
Joe Calzaghe
Hilary Parrott Jack Doyle
W. P. Mullins Paul Townsend
Frustration, deep frustration. Has one aim in life, as yet unfulfilled, but more down
to bad luck and timing than lack of ability. Is this the year he catches a break? 19 3P-3415 MONBEG DUDE (35) 9 10-9
Zara Phillips
16/1
B-LIST
Not a conventional fit for the circles mixes in, but if anything more likeable as a
result. Short-lived partnership with Richard Johnson. Owned by Mike Tindall. 20 7211-23 BIG SHU (24) 9 10-8

Philip Hobbs Tom O’Brien
Sturdy individual, very effective and very successful in abridged versions, but
transferring that talent to bigger, longer productions is a different matter entirely. 27 12P-426 HAWKES POINT (49) 9 10-6
Martin Kemp
Sue Smith Brian Hughes
Regional royalty, but whenever he gets a sniff of the bigger time he’s fluffed his lines.
Can make almighty blunders, and very doubtful he’ll finish up where he wants to
be.
26 498-1P4 CHANCE DU ROY (49) 10 10-6
Matt Le Blan
Kim Bailey Aidan Coleman
Likeable, popular, and always a welcome addition to such events, but too much
to ask him to complete the course without at least one of his trademark gaffes. 25 P-1262F VINTAGE STAR (25) 8 10-7
Alan Partrid
Richard Lee Jamie Moore
Has made the absolute most – the absolute most – of given talent. Identifiably Welsh,
made name there, and clearly doing something right, but likely to be found out
sooner rather than later.

David Pipe Denis O’Regan
Looked to have the world at his feet once upon a time, but later career beset by
setbacks, exposing fragility. Will be alright at the back jumping round, but question
over mental toughness for the finish.
23 41-3315 MOUNTAINOUS (63) 9 10-7
Alex Jones
Jonjo O’Neill Brian Harding
Few fans in public, but a private fancy of many. Grudging respect for earlier
inflated status and achievement. Hopes that surgery will further career. Will
be well supported. 22 124-759 OUR FATHER (23) 8 10-8
Michael
Barrymore
Peter Maher Peter Buchanan
Has successfully exploited the same thin seam as John Torode, hanging onto
his coat-tails. Ironically, the parasite may outperform the host in a National vote.
21 509P82 BURTON PORT (35) 10 10-8
Katie Price
Michael Scudamore Paul Carberry
Paul Nicholls Ryan Mahon
One of two brothers taking the stage. Younger than Gary (Alfie Sherrin), and arguably
the more famous, definitely the more attractive, but may be outshone as he was in
The Krays. 28 441173 KRUZHLININ (35) 7 10-6

Derek Hatto

In his element shouting off in the North, intimidating the opposition, but little
impact in the wider scheme. Best left-handed. 29 5F2713 PINEAU DE RE (23) 11 10-6

B-LIST
Donald McCain Wilson Renwick
Dr Richard Newland Leighton Aspell
Looked to have run his race long ago but, against the odds, he’s enjoying a laterlife resurgence. Likely to jump from fence to offence. 30 R03/3-U1 GOLAN WAY (27) 10 10-5

Jamie Theak

Flirted with the big time a few years ago, before career skidded at a red light,
evidently not so straightforward as he looked. Now reduced to small-time gigs, far
smaller than this.

An out-and-out bully. Nothing he relishes more than lording it over inferior
opposition, in manageable numbers. Comeuppance on the cards against many bigger
boys.
36 229/6P0 SHAKALAKABOOMBOOM (25) 10 10-3
Chris Evans
D. T. Hughes Davy Condon
A touch of the Irish charm about him, and for a long time looked to be working
his way to the top. Hasn’t quite made it, showing staying power all the same. 35 114P-01 ROSE OF THE MOON (74) 9 10-3
Alex Ferns
(Trevor off
Eastenders)
David Pipe Tom Scudamore
Hit and miss, all or nothing. Not put off by previous failure. Can produce something
brilliant on his day, but they’re becoming rarer, along with his British appearances.
34 11-P0P3 RAZ DE MAREE (19) 9 10-3
Craig Doyle
W. P. Mullins M. P. Fogarty
Gradual development earned him a crack at the big time, but suffering a crisis
of confidence this season of disappointment, also taking others down with him.
Increasingly an outsider.
33 4/14PP-3 THE PACKAGE (25) 11 10-4
Ricky Gervais
Jonjo O’Neill Richie McLernon
Not the best from his squad, but quirkiness is a virtue, and he’s a strong-traveller.
Right-angled Canal Turn may pose a problem, as he’s very much a straight man. 32 372-FU9 VESPER BELL (72) 8 10-5
David Moyes
Tim Vaughan Michael Byrne
Nicky Henderson David Bass
A former National favourite. Was a bit too forceful and eager on his first shot at
glory, but gradually working his way back up, and a potential A-lister with lessons
learned from the past.

Status by association. Having close connections to someone who’s done well (in

they’re talented themselves. 38 433-009 LAST TIME D’ALBAIN (14) 10 10-2

Geordie Shore hunk. North-Easterner with a high strike-rate, usually on the front
foot pressing the issue. Invincibility is an air, though, as he’s failed to complete a
few times. R4 121114
Derren Brow
Jo Hughes Mark Grant
Big. Huge, in fact, and renowned for it. Capable of eating up anything, including
these fences, though looked a bit lumbering when finishing seventh last year. R3 2301P1 NIGHT IN MILAN (35) 8 10-0

Grey. A distinguished grey. The housewives choice. Getting on a bit, but still

Patrick Kielt
Evan Williams Adam Wedge
Jack of all trades, master of none. Has played various roles and tried various
disciplines, but has never yet found a natural home for his latent talent. 40 4406-50 SWING BILL (23) 13 10-1
Phillip Schofi
Liam P. Cusack Robert Colgan
Capable of going well in the big events, as he’s proven before, including outside of
Ireland, but turning into an underachiever. Has seemed to have taken his eye off
the ball this season.

Please note a maximum of 40 horses will be allowed to run.
Until 9 o’clock on Friday morning reserves are allowed to replace horses announced as non-runners. After that you’ve drawn a loser if
your horse doesn’t take part.
We suggest you charge £2 per ticket with prizes of £45 to the winner, £20 to the second, £10 to the third and £5 to the fourth, but
obviously choose your stakes and prizes to suit your group of friends or colleagues.
