Hi guys

So hcaps announced yesterday. Sky obviously announcing an offer today. What's the next milestone?
Does anyone have like a schedule of declarations...key hours to look out for in the coming weeks.
Previews start next week I presume also?
 
Next Wed weights. Cross Country, Bumper and Foxhunters next week.
 
The preview nights started last night with one at Huntingdon, did anybody go by any chance as I can’t seem to see a report anywhere just the charity bets on Paul Ferguson’s twitter feed

A bit late for this year, but a FJ thread solely for important dates and the press releases containing entries and weights etc, might be something to consider for next year?

So this afternoon there will be plenty of movers ??

I might be wrong, but I wouldn't expect a great deal of movement this afternoon - the real shake up will be with the final 48 hour declarations for 3 reasons:

1. You can only declare for one race at the 48 hour stage at this year's festival - currently there are many horses with multiple entries and I don't see many withdrawals for these happening at the 6 day confirmation stage.
2. We'll have a much better idea about the weather forecast and likely prevailing ground conditions for each day by Sunday (when the first 48 hour decs are due).
3. As a result of the 48 hour decs we'll know who has managed to get into the oversubscribed handicaps. There are many fancied horses in these further down the weights that will only get to run if those above them don't declare.

Of course I will still be paying today's 6 day confirmations keen interest, just in case!
 
Hi Guys- so what time today do we expect the final decs for Tuesday? and is that right final decs?
