I will be running a nap league for Cheltenham which was very popular last year over the four days.

Looking forward to it.

Anyone watch the festival in a decent pub in or around Burnley or Accy?

Having Racing UK for the last two races would be a bonus.

£10 bet on first race on SkyBet will be £10 cash returned if your horse loses, basically free bet.

They did it last year that you had a £20 free bet per day and made around £100 over the week but restricting it to the first race this year.

Any bookies offering any decent deals for Cheltenham ?

Cant see anything apart from the singular Sky offer.

Bees knees always has it and if you go upstairs you have a big projector showing it. Thats my recommendation

Surely you want him to be in front not behind?
