Pale Mimosa & Tac De Boistron are non-runners and are replaced by SP favourite as per usual.
Note that I won't always spot the non-runners so please shout out if you think that you have been disadvantaged.

[NigDawG]

damn i had to go out midday and completely forgot about this!

[ashhen]

I had Pale Mimosa each way. Does my replacement horse go EW or on the nose?

If you fail to make a valid selection or select a non-runner it will be counted as a £2 win bet on the SP favourite (lowest racecard number if there are joint/co favourites).

I haven't updated the spreadsheet to reflect this yet; I will do so when the SP favourite is known.

You're doing very well today.
