    The Craven Meeting takes place over the next couple of days at Newmarket. Now that the Grand National is out of the way I see this as the real start of the flat season. Ok I know that Cheltenham also has a meeting but I'm turning my attention to the flat.

    Anyway to mark this I thought I would run a tipping contest for the meeting. (I have also got a quiet couple of days at work :emoticon-0102-bigsm )
    The rules along the lines of Ron's points competitions are:
    1 horse selected per race
    1st place = 30 points
    2nd place = 20 points
    3rd place = 10 points
    you can select 1 NAP which will be worth double points.

    16 races over 2 competitive days - I am not expecting to do that well in this myself but there are definitely some good races coming up.
    Good luck everyone!

    I'll have a crack, although as with Oddy, I can't profess to be up to speed with the flat at all so far this season, I only took my first looks at it last night looking for value in the 1000 Guineas market...

    Oddy mate I think we're only allowed one horse per race (so it'll probably be 0/8 for me!).

    13.50: Courage
    14.25: Baileys Jubilee (NAP)
    15.00: Samitar
    15.35: Redact
    16.10: Russelliana
    16.45: Perennial
    17.20: Shantaram
    17.55: Top Cop

    Blood hell, after doing my homework for that whilst writing this I've realised how much I need to get into the flat frame of mind. Can at least put it off until the end of the month!

    Cheers Steveo
