    I have drawn the short straw (LOL) No not really. Mrs Raymo and I will be running the Cheltenham competition this year so all entries are gratefully accepted and welcome.

    Rules

    You select 1 horse in each race over the course of the meeting
    In one race per day you can select 2 horses
    You may chose 1 nap per day (please make clear)
    NAP selections score double for WIN ONLY
    You can pick a next best (NB) as a reserve for your Nap in case of being a non runner
    If Nap is a N/R and your NB is a non runner the reserve of your Nap will become the Nap.
    (no reserve no nap)

    Entries have to be in before first race of each day, if for whatever reason you are late
    post your entries still for later races which will be accepted but you will get hit with
    10% point deduction for that day Strictly no Edits after the off time of 1st race, all
    points on that day will be deducted You may included as many reserves as you like but
    cannot add any after the time of the first race

    Chezza’s in.

    Many thanks to the House Of Raymo for undertaking this four-day extravaganza.

    Hi Ray (and Mrs Ray)

    Was thinking about this myself, glad you took up the mantle. :good:

    Off work that week, but got plans so might watch a recording on the night, or on ITVX.

    Good luck, everyone! :heart:

    P.S. Hope Mrs Raymo is fit after her troubles. :unsure: (Going by my memory of what you wrote recently).

    P.S.S My memory might be terrible, here!

    Well done Raym0 – TRF will put up a £25 free bet on the Grand National for the winner. You choose the horse, we’ll place the bet, you get the payout.

    Nice gesture from Admin…No chance of winning this or finding the winner of the Grand National but if I should by a miracle win I would like to donate it to the winner of the Select 3 Horses Jumps competition as the prize. :good: Jac
    Great news about Mrs Raymo :rose:

    A slight variation on Jac’s altogether more laudable theme….

    Tremendous gesture from Admin.

    It’s a forgone conclusion that Chezza will both win this AND find the winner of the Grand National and when Chezza does, Chezza would like to donate the prize to Chezza’s favourite cause….Chezza.
