OK after the success of the ASCOT comp, A prize of €20 has been kindly donated to the winner by Daniel the man of many names (Taunton, Carl Arrogante etc etc.)

You will need to pick one trainer from each Group 1-4 and TWO from Group 5 that are listed below and you will score points for every race at the festival that they have a horse entered who comes 1st, 2nd or 3rd.

There is 100 bonus points available by correctly guessing the total number of Pull-up's over all the races (29) at Cheltenham (eg. 58) so a correct guess will add 100 points to your final score -


Group 1
Joshua Sutherland
Jim Murray
Paul Rhodes
Leon van Rensburg

Group 2
Darren Thompson
Thunderspark
Grayham Clutterbuck
Moliets Surfer

Group 3
Kevin Meenaghan
Martin Leedham
Sirius Chill
David Robertson

Group 4
Carl Arrogante
Colin Clarke
Martyn Cairns
James Follis

Group 5
Daniel French
Darren Howells
Jamie Hopkins
Doug Warren
Stu Grey
Derek Hinton
Adam Auld
Alex Cherrie
Hans Jones
Aidan Murphy

Points as follows -

If your trainer pick wins or places in a race over the Festival meeting -

1st - 20 points (If a DH both will receive 10 points only)
2nd -10 points
3rd - 5 points

You will also receive double points from your picks from Group 5 (i.e if a Doug Warren horse places 2nd you will receive 10 x 2 = 20 points)

+ 100 point bonus available on the correct number of PU's, could be a game changer


Entries to be made in this thread, entries will close 1700 (UK) Friday 2nd. for those trainers who have access to Dropbox (you know who you are) all other trainers have until Sunday 1900 (UK)

The winner will be the trainer who accumulates the most points over the meeting from their picks, if a tie it will be counted back on wins correct & if still a tie, 2nd places, 3rd etc. Judges (me) decision will be final.

Thanks

Added another trainer. I picked you. All these 2nd places might earn me a lot of points.

Picked myself because I have a special conconction I have added to the horse feed this week. Just hope it is the right kind of stuff. It's called "Don't Fall\Pull-Up Di-hyrdosulphate". I have also hired a new Horse Whisperer.

Nobody tell the stewards.
