    A bit early but getting ahead of myself whilst I’ve got a few minutes spare, it will be starting soon enough, if you don’t know when you is on the wrong forum…….. :scratch:

    PLEASE READ RULES FIRST BEFORE MAKING SELECTIONS

    Failure to do so could result in missed points, your choice…….. :unsure:

    Prize –

    I’m hoping Mr Cormack will come up trumps again for us, details will be posted nearer the time, if not then a place on the Roll of Honour and title of Lord or Lady of Cheltenham tipping Champion 2017 will suffice.

    Winner –

    The person with the highest overall score from the 4 days.
    If tied combined scores of 4 naps,
    if still tied highest day 1 score,
    still tied day 2 etc.
    If still tied a duel will commence where the winner will be the one who can sit through a Ginger percentage maths lesson the longest.

    Rules –

    Each day you pick one horse per race; plus reserves in case of non-runners

    In one race per day you can pick two horse plus reserves

    Pick one nap per day, if your nap wins you score double points.
    (Only Naps that come 1st get double points, placed Naps score normal points)

    Important –

    All sections have to be before the start of the 1st race of each day.
    (please do not edit posts if you need to make any alterations make a new post)…… :mail:

    Places for points scoring

    1-4 horse race – 1st place only
    5-7 horse race – 1st and 2nd places
    8-15 horse race – 1st, 2nd and 3rd places
    16+ horse race – 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th places

    Points Scoring (SP’s) –

    1/2 or shorter – 1st: 2 pts – 2nd: 1 pt – 3rd: 1 pt – 4th: 0 pts

    8/15 to 10/11 – 1st: 4 pts – 2nd: 2 pts – 3rd: 1 pt – 4th: 1 pt

    Evens to 2/1 – 1st: 8 pts – 2nd: 4 pts – 3rd: 3 pts – 4th: 2 pt

    9/4 to 4/1 – 1st: 14 pts – 2nd: 6 pts – 3rd: 4 pts – 4th: 3 pts

    9/2 to 15/2 – 1st: 17 pts – 2nd: 8 pts – 3rd: 6 pts – 4th: 4 pts

    8/1 to 11/1 – 1st: 22 pts – 2nd: 10 pts – 3rd: 8 pts – 4th: 6 pts

    12/1 to 20/1 – 1st: 27 pts – 2nd: 14 pts – 3rd: 10 pts – 4th: 8 pts

    21/1 to 25/1 – 1st: 32 pts – 2nd: 16 pts – 3rd: 12 pts – 4th: 10 pts

    26/1 to 32/1 – 1st: 40 pts – 2nd: 18 pts – 3rd: 14 pts – 4th: 12 pts

    33/1 & above – 1st: 50 pts – 2nd: 20 pts – 3rd: 16 pts – 4th: 14 pts

    I will make a thread for each day nearer the kick off in which to posts selections

    Small print – under any dispute my decision will be final.

    Good luck……….. :twisted:

    Big thank you to raymo for adding the scores up for day 1, I’ve had a few Holsten Pills today so much appreciated.
    if everybody could check their own score and let me know if their are any differences that would be good, I’ll double check them later myself. Thanks again Raymo you are a star.

    Well done Mrs Raymo and VTC with Flying Tiger 33/1..what a double that would have been Bobby with
    Tiger Roll.
    There won’t be a cake left in the Raymo’s village at this rate…
    :yahoo:

    Brilliant choices Rob North well deserved leader. :good:

    The first two races were so exciting Willoughby Court beating Neon Wolf and even though I backed Whisper thought Might Bight fought back bravely to take it and great consolation for Nicky Henderson getting first two home after sadly losing Consul De Thaix in the first. :rose:
    Great competition as always Nathan..thank you
    :heart:
