RAMBLING MINSTER A HOT TIP FOR THE 2009 GRAND NATIONAL

One of the 2009 Grand Nationals ante-post favourites is the 11 year-old Rambling Minster- a first-rate runner trained by K G Reveley who boasts some extremely good credentials and excellent form, to boot. Rambling Minster enters the proceedings on the back of two solid wins over the past few months. Triumphing at Cheltenham on New Years day in the Cheltenham Annual Pony Club Raceday Handicap Chase where he bested the impressive Alexanderthegreat- who put up some stiff competition. His current skill level was compounded in the Grade 3 Blue Square Gold Cup Chase at Haydock in mid February where he topped out a field of sixteen in an extremely tough race. James Reveley looks set to take the reigns and these two have produced a solid partnership over the past few years, with this tandem also triumphing in the Persimmon Homes Scottish Borders Handicap at Kelso back in December of 07. Rambling Minster had a so-so 2008, but looks to be on course for a massive 2009. One of the main issues is the fact that he has lost a few races in the past year to several competitors who will be competing in this year's Grand National. He finished 5th in the betinternet.com London National Chase at Sandowne losing out to fellow Grand National contender Kilbeggan Blade. I actually think this is one of the reasons why we've seen Kilbeggan Blade drop so sharply so quickly as many punters are piling onto Rambling Minster, and the Kilbeggan Blade-backers favour a Rambling Minster loss. I'm confident that Rambling Minster is one of the top tips for the 2009 John Smith's Grand National at Aintree and is very much worth an each-way bet, especially with his odds around 10/1. #1.
