Hi fellas. Love reading the views on this site, so decided to sign up. Put an e/w acca, and two yankees on for the festival - one where I think they all have an excellent chance of winning, one where I think the likelihood of winning is lower, but the chances of a place seem high, and one which is a little bit more speculative. Would love to hear any views. Am I in with a shout, or whistling in the wind?
£5 E/W Acc. pays £10,985
1. Edeymi (Pertemps) @ 12/1
2. Don Cossack (Ryanair) @ 4/1
3. No More Heroes (Albert Bartlett) @ 8/1
4. Zarkandar (World Hurdle) @5/1
Not very original selections, but hate backing short-priced favourites, and these were 4 of the horses I've had the strongest gut feelings for - despite reading the preview nights on here, and seeing Zarkandar given next to no chance!

Bit of fun. I haven't been reading enough to know if my picks are still going for their intended races, or if they've been redirected, so bear that in mind before pulling me up
Already got my main bets on Sire de Grugy, Don Poli, Don Cossack, Edeymi, Douvan, Jezki and Zarkander. The Irish better turn up this year! Got most of my bets on early this year for a change. Just be a matter of nibbling at one or two juicier priced ones during the week, while I'm sitting in the pub, off work for the week. Enjoy yourselves guys.
