If there is enough interest will run a just for fun ( unless anyone's feeling generous 
) tipping competition this week at Aintree, rules as per the Royal Ascot ones of previous years
Rules
The competition is open to members registered with the Talking Horses Forum
One selection each day in each race at Aintree, Thursday to Saturday, with one of your selections noted as your nap.
Reserves can be nominated but must actually be named, no nominating “the favourite”.
Any entry which includes “the favourite” will score zero points for the relevant race(s).
Selections must be in by the start of racing each day which is 1.40pm Thursday and Friday and 1.30pm Saturday.
Please check here for non runners before placing your selections

Points Scoring
Winner = 12 points
Second = 7 points
Third = 3 points
Fourth = 1 point
Points are scored for first to fourth places regardless of the number of runners and regardless of whether the race is a handicap or not. In the event of a dead heat both horses will be awarded the full points for the relevant finishing position.
Bonus points will be awarded as follows
6/1 SP or bigger= Double Points
12/1 SP or bigger= Triple Points
20/1 SP or bigger= Quadruple Points
33/1 SP or bigger= Points Multiple by Five
66/1 SP or bigger= Points Multiple by Six
PLUS
One NAP per day earns double any points, including bonus points, scored by that selection.
The person with the most points, including any bonus points, after the three days will be deemed the overall winner.
In the event of a tie the winner will be decided by a point competition using the same rules based on a subsequent one day meeting mutually convenient for those involved.
Any disputes my decision is final.
