Report: No pickup here.

The Druid's Nephew was leading and going well when slipping on landing and coming down at the 26th fence.

Cause of Causes finished a never nearer eighth.

Night in Milan looked to be staying on but could only finish 18th.

5 April - The Grand National

The Bets

£2.50 e/w Chance Du Roy 33/1
£1.50 e/w Burton Port 18/1

£1 e/w Last Time D’Albain 50/1

Placed by P

The outcome

Burton Port only got to the second before unshipping Brian Harding.

Last Time D'Albain unseated Robbie Colgan at Becher's Brook first time round.

Chance Du Roy got involved in the shake-up with four fences to go but never got to the sharp end and was beaten a short head into sixth so no each-way pick-up.

6 April - Grand National

The bet: £5 e/w on Chicago Grey @10/1

Placed by: K

The result: Pulled up

Information: The Racing Post race-readers wrote the following: "In rear, jumped slowly, blundered 3rd, behind from 19th, tailed off when badly hampered and pulled up last".

So, the first bet on new Gamblor was singularly unsuccessful.
