BANKER/NAP SELECTIONS You can nominate one of your 4 main selections as a Banker/Nap, if you forget to do so then the first horse you selected will be classed as your Banker/Nap, either from top to bottom or from left to right. If your Banker/Nap wins then your points for that horse will be doubled, but only if it WINS, points will not be doubled if it finishes 2nd, 3rd or 4th. If your selected Banker/Nap is a non-runner then your first horse selected will automatically become your Banker/Nap. If that is a non- runner then your next selected and so on, ie. Horse 1 Horse 2 Horse 3 (BANKER/NAP) Horse 4 1st res 2nd res an so on if for example horse 3 (your Banker/Nap) was a non-runner then horse 1 would automatically become your Banker/Nap (unless a NB has been nominated at the time of posting )
In the event of any disputes, my decision is final
This competition is open to anyone there is no need to declare yourself before hand
Right, I hope I've covered everything
Thanks and the very best of luck to all
Bob
