Alright Chief! How's it going?
Will indeed be up for a competition, although I'm going on Thursday and Friday so will probably just lump all mine down in one go at the beginning of the week.

Wish I could do it, but I just haven't the time at the moment. Maybe I will get chance to post selections for one or two days.
Good luck to everyone who does this, looks like we could get some bigger priced winners this year.

Are we doing this?
If so..... (Oh and if not just ignore me).  Anglo Irish Bank Supreme Novices' Hurdle (grade 1) - Pigeon Island  Irish Independent Arkle Challenge Trophy Chase (grade 1) - Thyne Again Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle Challenge Trophy (grade 1) - Maybe Sizing Europe and Sublimity are monsters but I'll go with Harchibald.  (Hey ARyan..... Straw Bear is in this one!) William Hill Trophy Handicap Chase (grade 3) - Favorite horse of the day, MONKERHOSTIN!!!!!  Bgc Cross Country Handicap Chase - (NO idea) Fred Winter Juvenile Novices' Handicap Hurdle (listed) - Ashkazar

Cross Country - Native jack (even though Heads Onthe Ground will probably win, gotta go with the underdog).

I entered the Racing Post contest for 5 quid, in which my first day horses were:
Supreme Novice's Hurdle - Numide Arkle Chase - Tidal Bay Champion Hurdle - Osana You get bonus points based on odds, so picking against the favorites makes some sense. One hopes Sizing Europe, for instance, is coming down with a cold and runs below par, opening the door for a second or third choice, that sort of thing.

Having looked forward to the Festival with fevered excitement for months and months, we've suddenly reached the first day and I've realised that I don't actually fancy anything that strongly!
Nevertheless the racing is still unbeatable, so get set for the best four days of the year. Supreme Novices'...Pigeon Island has got a rock solid chance but it would be slightly disappointing if there isn't something with a bit more scope for improvement. To that end I'm going with Khyber Kim. Arkle...A poor renewal. By a process of elimination it has to be Noland. Champion...Have fancied several for this over the winter, slightly concerned the ground may have gone against Harchibald, so plumping for Punjabi. William Hill...Again a below-par renewal of what is usually a fiercely competitive handicap. I'm taking An Accordion on on account of his sketchy jumping, but finding something else is very difficult. Flying Enterprise is too big a price. X-Country...Probably Wonderkid, but I really don't know! Fred Winter...The front two in the betting look dangerously well handicapped, but both are coming off a very recent win, 3 days in the case of Ashkazar. He couldd easily prove too good and round up into a Champion horse next season. As it is I'm going with a big-priced alternative in Siege of Ennis. Good luck to everyone and, above all, savour it!
