Don’t put your money on laryngitis – its a little horse!

Put a bet on ‘Dusty Carpet’, trust me it’s never been beaten
Or “Vee Neck”…...its a good jumper

My moneys on ‘Creosote’, I’ve heard it’s good over fences

Sorry...

SIMON (12-1): Thrived in races that demanded stamina last season and was going well in the National itself, up with the pace, when exiting six out. Sound jumper on the whole and has continued on the up this campaign - recording solid runs in defeat at Cheltenham and Kempton when crying out for farther on each occasion. Is 8lb higher in the ratings than 12 months ago and will have to do without the services of regular jockey Andrew Thornton (injured), but big run on the cards as he seems happy on any ground. Definite for shortlist, even if your name isn't Simon.
1) My name is Simon

2) The race is on my birthday


Worth a few quid ?

Don't bother to do it, just watch the race and bet a virtual £! Million to win on the horse you fancied and see what happens!

I've won something (I think)! One of mine came second and I bet on it each way so I think that means I've won

If it hasn't got a wheel at each corner I don't really understand it

I stuck money on each way for Comply Or Die and King Johns Castle.
