Nice one MoM. Shall we try a shorter one for April while the nailed on horses are still 2/1ish or are GDC and CH already out of scope for forum Yankees?

I’m not sure they’re going to be too much shorter in August than now anyway and I think by then we’d be able to get the vibes about Connie going chasing or staying over hurdles. But as always I’ll see what people are thinking in the April nominations and go from there. A ‘banker’ Yankee was close to being the chosen method for March but in the end there was too many higher priced nominations with clear targets to not go down that route instead.

March looks likely to have a full house again and June looking tidy.
 
The October Yankee is looking pretty decent good picks, the Marc one from last year is looking like you'll probably get 4 runners with 2 great chances and 2 outside chances, good work Middle_Of_March
 
March:
Stay Away Fay - Brown Advisory at 16/1
Love Envoi - Mares Hurdle at 10/1
El Fabiolo - Champion Chase at 10/3
Flooring Porter - Stayers Hurdle at 25/1​​

Potentially going in with 5 big priced live ones too
 
June pretty hot too.
