      Kevloaf for info someone in here said the DRF Sat was painfully busy and they wouldn't be going back, not sure who though...
      Agree with you Ista, I never eat at the course - the prices are a joke, as is the food. When I go to HQ, I usually buy a pork pie from Waghornes in Prestbury and smuggle it in a pocket. Can strongly recommend, and it seems to pass the sniffer dogs too…

          I'd have still been in Paris if I'd have done that with my mates !

          • Going to Ludlow tomorrow.... so any tips let me know because I am STRUGGLING


            Only thing I'm on so far is Fortified Fortune 5/1 in the 16.05 .... who was a head 2nd to Cantico on his only run with Premier Magic who has done well for Ben Pauling back in 3rd that day.




            Popped in general rather than NH tips cos it's a random Tuesday and no-one checks that part of the site

              Don't really look at the day to day stuff as much this time of year, especially Ludlow (don't even know where that is )
              But noticed Cobden is riding 3 or 4 and no Nicholls horses, so those bookings look interesting.

                Yeah I did think that but then none of them looked any good either


                At least it's 'an angle' I can cling to whilst I'm there

                  All about personal Opinions / experiences though i think . Been to the D.R.F the last two years .
                  Yes , it was busy , But my mate and myself able to walk up to the bar and get a drink , able to sit down and eat a Decent meal under 16 euros .
                  Get a seat in the Grandstand at no extra cost . for 50 euro's for two days .
                  We booked early door's for flights , and hotel . So the whole lot came in at less than the price of 4 days at cheltenham..
                  definitely recommend it if you haven't been . .

                    • I think Sky refunded the handicaps bets the day the weights where released? So if not before hopefully next Wednesday?

                          All of my nrnb handicap bets that weren't entered have been refunded by William Hill already, so unless they have different rules for everyone then people should be refunded by now or soon enough.

                                Any of the enhanced specials seem to have been left for now, probably get to them later on
