I'm in a similar position, you could order the digital version or you could check what courier they use when sending physical copy. If royal mail, you can do a postal redirect for all of your mail for a set period of time.

I ordered both of them as a pack. In effect, the digital copy is only ?2 when you order the print version.
 
By the way, I asked Paul when the digital version would be released. Bet Trends responded to say that it would be a few days before the print version and to keep an eye on my inbox for details.

….looks like we didn’t drill down to individual race threads for novices until February, but we did have ‘Novice Hurdle’ threads etc from September last year.

That seemed to work well.

Yes please. Not having to read about the same horses in 3 different threads was a massive QOL improvement on here last year

Just to clarify we put up individual race threads early one year and it caused some issues so we agreed Autumn we’d introduce novice chase and novice hurdle threads along with the championship threads, it’s probably still a bit early for these as there’s very little meaningful NH racing to speak of and stable tour season hasn’t kicked off.
If no-one has any objections then the timeline Eggs states above will probably be repeated but as always, all comments/suggestions welcome…

ps - I think the Pertemps was an anomaly last year as someone had done some specific research around qualifiers so opened the race thread up early.
No reason why we can’t have a general ‘handicaps’ thread from around Paddy Power/Hennessy time

…from a ‘housekeeping’ and ease of navigation perspective I think last year worked really well.

Just asked WH for a price on Enola for the MNH and they priced up at 25s

That’s a better price. I’ve been holding off adding her all summer but geegeebanker on Twitter sparked some interest a few days back.

That’s him. He seems to be defocusing on NH this year but put tweeted a couple of fillies he liked, one of which was Enola. A couple of days later she appeared in the markets.
 
Can anyone shed some light on the dispatch/publish date of Mark Howard’s OJA?

I’ve never purchased it before but said I’d chance it this year.

Spoke to him yesterday and it was going to the publishers the same day. Its the clear best book for our sort of capers, imo.
