I can't find a quote for Tour Des Champs for the Festival Chase, Duke. Do you mean the JLT Security Chase, for which he's quoted at 33/1 or perhaps one of the other races he's entered in? And you can have 25/1 Son Of Flicka courtesy of Boylesports.
 
Thank you, I will indeed take the 25/1 about Son Of Flicka and I do mean the JLT chase for Tour Des Champs (I thought Festival Handicap chase was the registered name?). For clarity I will amend my previous post to match.

1. Champ Hurdle - Zarkander 400 win 12/1
2. Champ Hurdle - Rock on Ruby 300 win 10/1
3. Champ Hurdle - Rock on Ruby 500 win 9/1

Ten horses, Perpetual. You can have as many bets as you like on each up to a max of £1500.

But for the purposes of the competition backing the same horse in two different races counts as two 'horses'.

Here's a reminder of the rules:

[QUOTE


Competition Rules


1. The competition will open for entries on Monday 29 October and close on Thu 28 Feb. New entrants will be accepted at any time between these dates.

2. Two prizes will be awarded, one of £150 to the person whose bets generate the most winnings, and one of £50 to the person whose portfolio has the highest notional value on 28 Feb.

3. Participants will have a separate bank for each month of the competition as follows:

November (29/10 to 30/11) - £1000
December - £1000
January - £1000
February (1/2 to 25/2) - £2000

4. The bank for each month can only be used during the month to which it refers.

5. Bets can be placed on the ante post market for any race at the Cheltenham Festival with any bookmaker displayed on oddschecker.com

6. Only single or each way bets will be accepted; multiple and other types of bet are excluded.

7. The minimum bet size is 10% of the monthly bank, i.e. £100/£50ew in November, December and January and £200/£100ew in February.

8. The maximum amount allowed on any one horse in any one race is £1,500.

9. There is no limit on the number of horses that can be backed, but only ten will count for scoring purposes.

10. Participants can indicate on or before the cut-off date of 28 Feb which horses they want to include in their final portfolio, otherwise the ten most recently selected will be chosen by default.

11. If a horse is backed for more than one race, each will count as a separate "horse" for the purposes of rules 9, 10 and 13.

12. The winner of the main prize will be the person whose final portfolio of bets generates the highest winnings. Bets will be settled according to normal ante post rules, but only the winnings will be counted.

13. The secondary prize will go to the portfolio which on 26 Feb which has the highest 'notional value'. This is the total sum one would need to wager, taking the best available odds on 26 Feb, to achieve the same potential winnings of each of the bets in the portfolio. (In simpler terms, bets on horses whose odds shorten gain value, while bets on drifters lose value).

14. The organisers will have the right to clarify, modify or add to the rules as they deem appropriate.[/QUOTE]
