Race 4 - Hennessy Gold Cup Chase - 2.40 Newbury Sat 29 Nov
Cut-off time for selections - 2.10 Saturday
The Rules:
The competition will cover 30 (or so) of the most competitive races of the NH season. A thread on which selections can be posted will be put up a couple of days before the race and selections can be made up to 1/2hr before race time.
Players are given 2 stake points per race. Players can use the 2pts on 1 selection or share the 2pts between 2 selections, 1pt each. Points will be awarded based on each selections finishing position down to 5th place. Results will be settled at SP.
1st place will get stake x 10 x price 2nd place will get stake x 5 x price 3rd place will get stake x 3 x price 4th place will get stake x 2 x price and 5th place will get stake x 1 x price
Non-runners: If you choose one selection, please nominate a reserve just in case of late withdrawal. If you choose two selections and one is a non-runner, your 2pts will go on the remaining selection, unless you left a reserve. In either case you can replace a non-runner as normal up to the 1/2hr cut-off time. If you make a selection with no reserve, and it doesn't run, your 2pts will go on the favourite (in case of jt or co favs then the 2pts will go on the one which is highest in the hcap)
In the event of dispute, my decision will be final.
Anyone welcome to join at any time.
The following is a list of the intended races in the comp, they may change at relatively short notice so please check:

Only 10 declared for intended race, will leave it until tomorrow and see if the class 2 chase is more competitive, or some other race at the weekend.
Does anyone else think field sizes are markedly down in general this season?

The prize money is down for that particular race, ud - this year's Tingle Creek itself was looking for a sponsor until recently, iirc. Hopefully the London National attracts a bigger field
Btw, the PP Chase @ Leopardstown is on Dec 27th if you wanna use it as an alternative to the King George (won't clash with the Welsh National which is on the 28th)
