There are some small changes from previous years so read on to be sure of the new format. I know I said I wouldn't run this on the other thread but I've persuaded myself otherwise.

How To Play
Each day, select one horse from each race and post your predictions on this thread before 1.30pm each day.

How To Score
The scoring system is complicated but fair.

Lets say you pick a horse and it wins at 2/1, then you get two points. So:

2/1 winner - 2.00 points
10/1 winner - 10.00 points
8/11 winner - 0.73 points

Also should you pick a horse and it places (first 2 for 5-7 runners, first 3 for 8-15 runners, first 3 for 16+ if not a handicap, first 4 for 16+ runners in a handicap), you will be rewarded with points 1/4 of the odds. So:

2/1 placed - 0.50 points
10/1 placed - 2.50 points
8/11 placed - 0.18 points

There is no NAP this year.

How To Enter
Just post your predictions on this thread as follows:
1.30 - 12 - Menorah
2.05 - 8 - Sizing Europe
2.40 - 15 - Chief Dan George
3.20 - 1 - Binocular
4.00 - 13 - A New Story
4.40 - 14 - Quevaga

Please include the racecard number of the horse as well as the horse's name.

Unlikely Scenarios
1. If you pick a non-runner, then you have no selection in that particular race
2. If there is a Rule 4, then it will be ignored
3. If a result is changed, then it's the amended result that stands for the purpose of this competition

Best of luck with your predictions.

Good stuff Loyal - good idea to drop the NAP - Was too geared on a tipster striking gold on an outsider.
