At least we all had a winner. Remember to nominate one as your Nap each day for double points.

If we'd combined and backed all our selections 1 point win would have yielded 6 points profit at SP.

Giving the first two days of the NH Festival a miss due to shitty weather and other commitments. Had two bets today, Cork All Star in the first (unplaced) but travelling like the winner two out. Then I got lucky in the second on the 6/1 winner Tidal Bay.
Tomorrow I'll wager Tamarinbleu (in the Queen Mother Champion Chase & Big Eared Fran (Champion Bumper) to complete a David Pipe double.
I shall definitely be there on Thursday and Friday.
