I'm going to avoid looking at Ante Post prices & trust my eye in the build up. Too many times I'm sure we (I know I do) do carried out away with ante post prices, which can cloud judgement of races. It may also make the lead up more fun as I'm relying on my own 'nouce'. Half the time for me the prices putting them in a pecking order and next year I'm going to whip them into shape myself on what they have done on the track.

The one thing I'll be doing differently is doing 95% of my backing on Betfair. Sometimes I like to lay my stake off, and saves tying up hundreds in cash for months to cover the liability.
Betting wise, same strategy as last year. I like to do a mix of "to win today and the race at the festival". Can put you on some big prices for winning a pretty weak trial run.
I'll also not get sucked into backing in races on the day when I've already got a decent book. This year on the day, The New One, Kings Palace, Sprinter and Conti all hit the magic 4/1 and couldn't see any of them out of the top 3. Thought I'd get my money back on all of them at the very least, and didn't get a single penny.
While its great to be on a Mullins novice hurdle superstar, tread with caution. Douvan was the one this year, but hype ones like Tell us More and Alvisio Ville can leave you broke.
