2020 SC Cheltenham Festival Tipsters Competition.

The starter is a prick.

Excellent riding from the winning jockey.

History tells us that at some point it will swing back towards the favourites, but the problem is like I imagine a lot of punters have, I’ve done my bollocks already and not sure I want to risk finding out.

Post #2 in this thread gives the non-runner rule:

*Non runners: This year there will be NO changes made to your selections if they are non runners, its unfair on others who don't get to change their selection.*

If that is the actual rule it encourages everyone to post their selections just before 1.30. Not sure if that's an issue for @Houdini or not? If so, perhaps you could make it that NRs can be changed but only before the start of the first race?

How about using the Non Runner rule used for the Royal Ascot competition, where if you have a selection that is then declared a non runner you get the favourite at half points? Everyone affected gets the same treatment.

The only rule change is regarding non runners.
If you have a non runner and racing has not started then change it if you can.
If you don't change it then you are on the fav at half points.
You cannot change your selections once made unless it is a non runner and racing has not started.
You cannot change your NAP.
These changes were made in your favour......

seems we will move to coronavirus ‘containment’ phase tomorrow at some point. that must throw gold cup day into doubt.

anyway, given that half of mine from today are still trying to finish their races as we speak, here’s some for you all to avoid tomorrow. i’m sure they’ll meet todays picks halfway round:

1:30 Itchy Feet
2:10 Welsh Saint
2:50 Frodon
3:30 Summerville Boy
4:10 La Bague Au Roi
