    Morning all


    I'll be running a comp for Cheltenham this Friday & Saturday if anyone wishes to participate.

    All are welcome.

    Betting

    Tamerlo - 11/4
    Ardent - 6/1
    Bucks - 6/1
    Steveo - 10/1
    OddDog - 11/1
    Galaxy - 14/1
    Hawkeye - 16/1
    Ron - 16/1
    JoeLively - 20/1

    Bar - 25/1

    Tamerlo enters this as a hot favourite after a superb sixth at Cheltenham, followed up by an emphatic victory at Newbury. OddDog must have an outside chance after a victory here on his seasonal debut, but failed to act at Newbury next time out. Both Ardent and Bucks were both put away after their respective 2nd and 3rd placings here and missed Newbury to come here fresh. Steveo is always there and presents a danger on his day. Galaxy improved on his 8th here by coming 2nd at Newbury & will hope to go one better. Oldtimer Ron ran a cracker last time out at Newbury carrying top weight but there has to be doubts about him acting at Cheltenham as proven when soundly beaten here before. A live outsider who has yet to run this season is Stick, who scoped dirty on his last run of the season and has since had a wind op.



    Usual rules apply

    1 selection per race,1 Nap per day

    Winner = 30 points

    Second(if app) = 20 points

    Third(if app)=10 points

    Fourth(if app)=5 points

    Nap scores double win/place

    Sp is added to all winning selections,ie;10/1 winner will score 40 points,if Napped 80 points.
