Good morning Humbugs 
We have a full team and hopefully won't have to use too many wild cards.
You can pick one horse a week,win or e/w at any meeting in the UK,Ireland or France. The week starts with Sunday so selections can be made for the 1st week from March 1st. If you are going to be unable to post for parts of the week please pick something on a day when you can. If you are going to be unavailable for the wole week let us know and I will arrange for somebody to play a wildcard.
You have to post your picks on undecided's selection thread. Please also post them on here as it helps me to make sure everybody has posted and I think it boosts team spirit.
There are no limitations on time or anything else for the first 6 days. Things get just a little more complicated on Saturdays and I will post about that at the time,but you will be able to find all the info on ud's thread.
Any questions I will attempt to answer.
We finished 2nd last year after being le:ft at the post,but I don't think we've actually won since 2009. I think our time has come so :
HUMBUGS ARE GO

Good morning Humbugs
As,for obvious reasons,Comrade Lampus and myself are only allowed to pick in the Veteran's race I am taking him on with Filanderer e/w
May the best old Humbug win !
Good luck all.

I've put sageform's Nap up as I suspect he is not going to pick specifically for us and it runs in the 1.25 at Musselburgh. Comic Hero to win.
I am in touch with him and will try to get him sorted. Tbf I may not have explained the Comp to him very well.

The words barn door and pitchfork spring to mind for me.

about time I remembered to put one on this comp. Same horse in the Prem League. I did back Matterhorn as well so was confident one of them would win from a long way out. Thanks lampus.
We actually haven't had a pick since Monday,but the other teams have gone quiet as well.
Mainly thanks to sageform's winner,which made it 1-27 for the team,we are currently 3rd.
I am losing it. I had it in my head that Aintree was next week,or I wouldn't have put up One Big Whimper. It is very difficult to remove a captain who has gone doolally,as others are finding out

Thinking of putting up Regents Stroll in the 2.20
will wait a bit longer

I like Regents Stroll but no market support so far. Sober Glory has to be a banker.
Well done sageform 
happy days. Sober Glory in the 2.55, looks a steal at 10/11

Good morning Humbugs
We seem to have an early full house.
So I may go back to sleep.
Good luck one and all.

Oh dear 
hh went close but again we didn't score on Saturday.
We have only had one winner in the last two rounds (1-32 ) and that was courtesy of our newbie sageform.
So we grizzled pros really need to get our fingers out.
The (slightly) good news is it was a low-scoring round generally and we finished 4th. Overall we moved up from 7th to...er...joint 6th.

I put this one before and actually got points back ! Am going in again ...
Kinetic Force - 6-45 Musselburgh. ( e/w )
Kinetic Force - 6-45 Musselburgh. ( e/w )
.... Thanks, points back, just a shame the horse was backed in (again) 10/1 at the time of posting.
I'm going to be away from roughly this time tomorrow for 48 hours. Which means I won't be around on Saturday. Can you all make sure we get 8 selections in one way or the other ?
In the meantime I'm going for Hidden Force in the 3.35 at Newmarket. Nothing Craven about me.
It hasn't got the form in the book the Irish one has but may have a fitness advantage and is probably a miler,whereas the Coolmore beast might want further this season.
Moeover it's Lampus' Nap

sageform has done
Hassaleh - 4.10 Newmarket to win.
So we both need one of Buick's better days

Good luck from your soon to be absent ( temporarily ) captain.
Good luck today everyone, captain not around today! I reckon its just me and hoof hearted left to post one up.
Just hoof hearted to post, just 20 odd minutes left! Should he not appear do we use a wildcard just before the deadline? I was thinking Keops Des Bordes in the 4.48 - feel free if anyone else has anything.
Sincerest apologies Team
Missing in action- got overtaken with events with a bit of a family drama

Vwd Jinxy and an extra brownie point for spotting we needed a wildcard
A very open round so far and we're not badly placed.

Thanks duffy. Lampus will have to stop using Windows 3 imo.
I'm a Willie worshipper so going for
Road To Home -3.30 Sandown e/w.
I have to go out for a bit but will check back around noon to see if anyone is missing.
Good luck Humbugs.

Good luck with those selections folks, bad news is that I like them all
We'll have to keep an eye out for hoof hearted in case he hasnt realised that yesterdays selection was a non runner.

Yes we will Jinxy. He is often quite late so we panic about 2.40 imo.
Afternoon all
Going for Naga in the 615 at Donny - I will be there so hopefully will shout him home

I might well have been there if the Council had deigned to renew my blue badge
Bad luck pedro. Skelton's 2nd strings are becoming a nuisance.

Jonbon is a n/r.
So if memory serves correctly Lampus is on the fav in that race. Either Thistle Ask or Solness presumably.

We can assume Lampus'Amstrad has finally packed up so we'll leave him on the fav I think Jinxy.
put Symbol of Majesty up when it was trading around 1.8 on here, never mind its points on the board.
I've put it on the team thread....don't fancy solness and he could be fav.
Thanks again duffy.
We might have to have a whip-round to buy Lampus a tablet.

Not very many unfortunately. I thought it would be longer than that.
Still sage and hoof to go and we could be doing worse.
