Agree, I’ve blindly followed these for the last few years in the final week, definitely a good part of the final week build up. Would be great to be part of it as a newbie member.

Am I right in thinking that there were 6 last year, including a handicap Yankee?

Indeed as I was the handicap yankee and I think I actually returned a profit

…just to note, the February Forum Yankee was a Handicap Yankee. I suppose we could have another.

we used to let the winner of a tipping competition do one but we havent had the competitions lately.

I'm sure Kevloaf will explain all but just a reminder that when captains are decided and yankee threads created the idea is that there's discussion/suggestions for each captain to consider, and next Sunday the captains will confirm their picks.
It's not a case (as we had one year) of a captain simply picking 4 horses, like everything in here there should be good discussion/debate...

I did go back and work out who won last year's tipping comp? Mighty was the winner, if we wanted to have the competition winner pick a Yankee.

[Mighty]

No pressure! Happy to throw my hat into the ring to do one.

Whether this year or another year, I really like the idea that the previous years DG cup winner gets the opportunity to do a "free choice"/overall Yankee for the forum for the subsequent years Cheltenham

That thread still makes me laugh. Instant classic.
