    No Champion? No Mallafets, no Stick, no Dooalittle, no Wooly ? Come on you lot and you other Barstables.
    25 hours to go.

    Thanks to all of you who have entered. We seem to have lost QM, our champion, and a few others but as you can see you can join in later this year.

    A tough Cheltenham. Last year's Cheltenham champion OddDog is trailing 4 joint leaders on 10 points. Those that want to join with tranche 2 (see above) have plenty of chance. Get your selections in by the 29th midnight.

    Please check that 3yos can run in the Lockinge. Used to be able to, but believe it's changed.
    Will allow you to change today

    Unfortunately Expert Eye is on a promise in the sheds at Juddmonte so won't make the Lockinge.

    This is a once and once only offer, but as I am cutting Ron some slack, all of you please select an alternative to Altior on the understanding that your choice only scores 3 points if it wins and not 5.

    You have to make your suggestion by midday Sunday.
