Just finished my picks and I'm all over the shop today.     Will post prior to each race, but proceed with caution...my thinking was a little loopy with some of them.

[Karabiner]

I like Somersby quite a lot today and am on @ 6/1 EW.

This - I have bokked it for you.  I have backed Sommersby.  Also still fairly sweet on Peddlers and despite the doubts think 7/2 will be polarised and either look huge - should have taken the .

I also fancy Oscar Whiskey EW - although in my heart of hearts I think it has a less than 20% chance of beating Big Bucks.  Have added Midnight Appeal and Crack Away Jack

Am off to pick up dry cleaning before leaving at 8am tomorrow for the big one - very very excited about the whole Kauto show, just going to be an amazing occasion

Probably going to lump on all of these.

They can't be any worse than the sensible well thought out picks.

A bloke who entered the blonde Chelters Fantasy League picked his selections by using alphabetical order of the horses names.

Laxie is a must follow

I don't know how she does it, she doesn't know how she does it, but it works.

You simply don't want to know her maximum lay today, or at least several posters on this thread don't!

 Oh, was that a bad thing?  Apologies in advance Lads.

Wii my first pick a nr so I get some £s back today

[Laxie]

Sooooo, what's everyone doing in the first?

I like Sir Des Champs ftw but I'm an e/w kinda girl so went with Solix for my first e/w bet of the day.

[jakally]

Good first day, but did it all back, and more, yesterday.
Hoping for a good day today, but not seeing it very clearly.

On Sir Des Champs in the opener, and like Barwell Bridge in the second.

I've gone for Cristal Bonus, but with no huge reason for it- Peddlers has been backed more this morning, but Timeform doesn't rate him by the looks of it. Best punter in my office has gone for 'For Non Stop', but again don't know his reasons. GL to all today!

Edit: some late money for Zaynar I notice...
