    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)

    Raymo you’re a star. I had said, in the Meydan Thursdays thread, that I would set
    up a Royal Ascot competition but I would have to update it late each day as I have
    my sis in law and her Ukrainian friend here and they are heading to Port Patrick
    on Friday and we will catch up with them down there during the week. My brother is
    over from the US, arriving Friday and staying my sister’s in Dunoon. I haven’t seen
    him for 5 years so we’ll have a big get togther over the weekend, then a few days
    down at Port Patrick, before back to Dunoon for more shenanigans. I’ve got so much
    going on but didn’t want to have the meeting slip by without a competition. So thank
    you and Mrs Raymo so much for taking this 5 day monster on, it frees me up and I can
    just relax and catch up :good:

    You are both stars 🌟🌟🌟🐎🐎🌟🌟🌟
    Thank you for doing this Raymo and Mrs Raymo. Looking at the winners list that Nathan posted it brings back memories of some great contests and a few of those names no longer with us in particular Diamond Geezer.. :heart:
    Would hope that Krypton might come back to defend his title if he is able.
    That would be the best result of all :yes:

    Can’t wait for this to kick off and the first day is the best of the whole meeting..
    Thank you Thank you Thank you.

    Good luck Landafar, remember you are allowed to pick 2 horses in
    a race each day. You should add a 2nd choice in one of your races
    to give you an extra chance :good:

    I’m away till Friday so will miss seeing it on TV but will watch the races later each day on the sporting life site. My other half can’t stand sport so didn’t realise it was royal ascot this week. Such is life. Thanks for running this again guys. I’m a frankie fan for a week as he’s on a few of my fancies and ten to follow horses. Good luck everybody.
