Ryan Mania seems fine now, thank goodness. Enjoyed National, even had tiny bet on winner on Tote (pd 133-1! Never can understand why people back big-priced outsiders with bookies rather than the Tote), but tbh was very disappointed with Channel 5 coverage and camera work. Also, only 2 horses...

Wow what an Aintree! What on earth went on with Battle Group? Won easily enough the other day well-backed with cheekpieces on first time. I saw a cashier for Ladbrokes in William Hill collecting over £600, must have had a tip. Then damn me, two days later, it wins even easier, 7-2!! How did...

Any early fancies for Cheltenham? World Hurdle will be interesting this year without Big Buck's. I like Overturn - he looks an absolute natural, though not sure Cheltenham will be ideal. Can't for the life of me understand why they insist on running Quevega in the Mares' every year. They could...
