    Unusually for me my biggest interests are all on Friday, generally Tuesday has been my big day.
    Thyme Hill, Aramon, Hazel Hill and Column of Fire are all key for me, one or more are in pretty much of my multis.
    Though I think this is the same for a few in here....

      My top five returns would be off:

      Column of Fire
      Latest Exhibition
      Minella Indo
      Al Dancer
      Supasundae

      Defeat won't break my festival but a win for any would go a long way to making it.

        Envoi Allen
        Allmankind
        Allaho

        Some others in multiples would be decent but those 3 would be excellent on their own.

          Paisley Park- I’m dead if he doesn’t win but of course that is nearly impossible IMo

            My approach to staking tends to mean that no horse can single-handedly make or break my week but currently my biggest winners are:

            Aba
            The Storyteller
            Latest Exhibition
            Column Of Fire

                Asteron Furlonge, The Big Breakaway any race with Sporting John and Staker Wallace both e/way NRNB.
                Staker Wallace in the Foxhunters my make or break bet believing he just needs that soft ground on the Friday to romp home.

                    Envoi Allen basically. Few other nice looking bits and pieces but if he wins it opens up so many multiples

                      My biggest single winner would be Sharjah but ive got Min and/or Envoi Allen in virtually every multiple so could be one of those.

                      Biggest loser is also an interesting question, for me if Kemboy wins the goldcup ill be gutted as he's the only real contender i don't have covered at big prices. I also have nothing on Notebook or Epatante so there's a nailed on treble for you.

                        I feel as the first day could gauge how the rest of my festival will go. I’m hoping for 2 if not 3 winners, from

                        Asterion Forlonge/Aba
                        Notebook
                        Carefully Selected/Champagne

                        The way my staking has worked, I’d need 7 winners at present to ensure profit. Best of Luck everyone, don’t know if I’m nervous or excited

                          Wouldn't call them make or break but I'd really like the following to happen.
                          BDD - to run in champion hurdle, preferably win.
                          Honeysuckle therefore win the mares.
                          Or vice versa would be fine too.

                          Other nice winners would be
                          chacun por soi
                          Carefully Selected or Champagne Classic to win the NH Chase.
                          Paisley Park to win.
                          Riders on the storm to win.
                          Asterion Forlonge would be a nice start.

                            My biggest winners would be Abacadabras, Champagne Classic and A Plus Tard, and then as I'm sure a lot of other have, most multiples include some or all of Benie, Envoi and Paisley.

                              Going through the ante post spreadsheet this morning, I’m hopeful I can click a few long range multiples. I’ve also gone down the any-race market a lot more on singles this year. Would be great if a few on here landed a pay day or more! Fingers crossed for all

                              My Top hopes so far:

                              Singles

                              Envoi Allen (Ballymore) 8/1 - 5pts win
                              Column of fire (any race) 33/1 - 4pts win
                              Solo (Triumph) 27/1 - 2pts win
                              Abacadabras (Supreme) 16/1 - 2pts ew
                              Sporting John (any race) 20/1 - 2pts ew

                              Multiples

                              2 x 0.25 ew Lucky 31s (31pts)

                              Chantry House (Supreme) 20/1
                              Bapaume (Arkle) 25/1
                              Minella Indo (RSA) 8/1
                              Solo (Triumph) 25/1
                              Column of fire / Conflated (Pipe) 33/1 / 20/1

                              ....and one that I suspect got away

                              0.25 win lucky 63 (15.75pts)

                              Malone Road (Supreme) 16/1
                              Saldier (Champ Hurdle) 16/1
                              Honeysuckle (Mares) 7/1
                              Envoi Allen (Ballymore) 8/1
                              Samcro (Marsh) 11/1
                              Top of The Game (Gold Cup) 9/1

                              .....I’m fairly sure Honey will go CH so likely down to 2 runners - remember looking at Xmas thinking this one looks steady
                              Amazing how much my book can change in the last 3 months!
