Thought it might be useful to have a review of the first week of the competition. (For positions see table in first post of this thread)
Out of the 48 competitors only 7 people were successful although a disappointing 16 didn't put in Naps, hopefully they will join us from now on.
Of the 7 successes 4 picked the good novice Quinz (8-1 ) which i wouldn't be surprised will now go for the Grand National. It must have a good chance off 10 stone 8lbs if getting the trip but beware a seven year old rarely wins at Aintree. The price was good for this race with Fistral Beach being an overrated favourite. Congratulations to Maxally, Fins, chrispip and billyboots for getting this winner.
Andybuck went for the northern maestro Donald McCain with Reindeer Dippin who did well to hold on at 9-2 in the slog which was Newcastle. Wow was that Eider Chase tough later and unfortunately although Spartan3 and mk gunner got the right trainer in this they got the wrong horse.
Off the Flat tipsters only littlelou got a winner when Suits Me won the 4.20 at 100-30. 6 people went for horses in the 2-10 but were thwarted when Norville came back to form to win.
This leaves one lucky sod called The Head Lad, who is he I ask. He would like to thank David Bass who gave his horse Ocean Transit a superb ride and the punters and bookies who let a dead cert drift out to 12-1.
I have suggested he doesn't boast too much as pride often goes before a fall and their is plenty of them to come in the next few weeks.
Good luck with all your horseracing activities and look forward to receiving 48 naps this week.

I was going to back this at first being similar to my username. If i was in a cartoon i would be Norbit from Norville lol.
However i went with the horse in best form so just shows ya, go with your first pick. Norville won at 12s aswell i think.
Keep up the good work vaigret! Great thread and love the table on the first page!
Second day of the competition tomorrow and all naps have to be with me by 1.15pm Saturday 5th March 2011.
Unfortunately I wont be able to give the same service as last week as I am out in the morning. ie you wont get immediate confirmation your nap has been logged.
However please note all Naps posted by new posts on this thread or by PM before the deadline will be logged and the table with selections will be posted in the first post of this thread as soon as possible. Hopefully early on in the afternoon.

Thanks for the kind words by the way at least you went on form in that race Norville won, I went for his stablemate with Mr Spencer. Bad move as well.
Thanks Hitman
