Headstands in the opener today.

Why am I getting the French ones

[TheMalteseDart]

Much better betting day today, Thursday was a disaster.

Thinking of backing Vanillier in the National, but not 100% decided yet, he was unlucky at Cheltenham running wide due to a jockey mistake and ran well previously in the National in 2023

[TheMalteseDart]

Have indeed changed my mind...

Will take a punt on Perceval Legallois at 11/1 (Proven form at listed level which counts for a lot in the modern version of the Grand National)

And also Minella Indo at 22/1, proven stayer and there's a lot of dud in this field and I think even at the age of 12 he can run into at least a place
