    Hi Ben,

    I like

    Grand Slam Hero

    too and with Bowen’s record in the race you cannot discount

    Valley Ride

    !

    Trends based on the last five runnings which we over today’s distance of 2m6f110y gives the best chances to

    Keepitsecret

    ,

    Picaroon

    ,

    Grand Slam Hero

    and

    Putney Bridge

    .

    My ratings place the Jonjo trio at the top with Putney Bridge as a potential big improver.

    Personally, I want Richie McLernon to land one of these big ones as I am a super-fan of him…..fingers crossed!

    Like you said it is very wide open and it should be a corker!!

    Congratulations Young Fella for an awesome win. I did follow your tip for Church Island too…..so cheers :roll:

    Happy to have come 2nd as I came 2nd in the Cheltenham competition and 4th in the Aintree competition – a bit like my nap today, Sangfroid, I do well but never quite win.

    Thasnk for running these competition but I’ll be disappearing over the Summer as the flat takes over and I’ll probably only concentrate on the Summer Jumps season!!

    :wink:

    Rich_ie – they are building a new grandstand at Fontwell Park hence the different camera angles as they are now in the infield rather than above the stands and then past the winning post. Hopefully back to normal for the new season when it is all completed in August!!

    One way that you can do this is via Raceform Interactive as you can choose what you Delimit with (it tells you what it is – usually a comma) and then when you open the downloaded document in Excel you can then select what the delimiter was (in this case a comma) and all is in columns for you. All you have to do for Excel to stop thinking everything is a number is to click on the top of a column and then click on it being ‘text’ and it remains as it was.

    Raceform is about £45 per month for either jumps of flat.

    As for free sites, sportinglife is probably your best bet!

    Good luck.
