Does anybody know when the racing post will be doing their big jump off special this year?
 
Boylesports have just had their planning permission approved to take over a shop in my home town, anyone know if they are much good for shops? Only had a brief foray into one in Stoke last year.

Anything specifically you would like to know?

I do take advantage of their bet ?50 with them (minimum ?5 in shop) get ?5 online and a ?5 in shop free bet each week.

Other than that don't rush down to use them for anything specific, nothing worth going down for ante post wise.

I have an online account which I don't tend to use a lot although I'd be interested in harbouring a few free bets etc if they do something similar to Coral used to with their connect card.
 
Gavin lynchs latest upload with Vincent from Irishracing.com is a good listen, at the very end of the video some golden nuggets regarding form reading using the site
 
On the updated RP app, have they made it so you can't view the racecards after the race has finished? Bit annoying.

Not sure about that but not a big fan of the new version. The odds comparison function is good ok

I suppose they've shifted that content to the Results section, and ditched the card part.
 
Won't be for everyone here but asked on Twitter for people's best and worst current AP favs for the Festival - few interesting replies.

A few shouts for Constitution Hill for the WORST but definitely more for Facile Vega on that one.

Delta Work and Flooring Porter mentioned a fair bit as the current BEST priced AP favs.

Flooring has to be the best by a country mile doesn't he ? Dual winner, division doesn't appear any stronger this season, still an EW price. Can't see any chinks at all.
