Does anyone know when bookmakers normally refund NRNB bets? Will those not entered for handicaps be refunded now or after the race itself?

If memory serves, I know Sky where pretty quick last year. Which I'm hoping for the same this year, as good bit to come back and might try get on a few now the entries are out.
 
Thank you! Mine are mainly with Hills so hopefully they’re similar

Soon , I'd say . the Bookies will want you to be Re investing your n.r.m.b. Money :biggrin-new:
 
No worries at all Dandrew99 , Usually now I'd be finding the top rated UK & irish horses in each and working the weights out from there (Give or take a few pounds on the Irish runners) but currently have a glut of builders in fitting a new boiler so I'll be looking at doing that tomorrow afternoon.

Hope you're keeping well & are all set for march,I'll be in the Arkle bar from 12 till 1 most days,if you pop you're head in I'll grab you a pint :)
 
Sports Independent have posted some of the GN weights ahead of the reveal at 3pm for those interested.

Thanks for the replies about Chelts abroad guys.

Can't wait for 9 days in the sun and hopefully a fair few winners to celebrate with the dirt cheap pints.

Also just found out I'm going to be a dad for the first time, so might have to make the most of it as it could potentially be a little trickier to negotiate next year :glee:​​​​​

Thank you for the kind words everyone it means alot :love_heart: we are buzzing about it. I'm pretty late to the game (40 next year) but I'm so excited, so fingers crossed all goes well. Due over 6 months before next chelts so I should be fine for next year, timed it well haha I'll start laying the ground work as soon as I get back from this year's trip.

I don't know if this is good or bad but I think shes looking forward to me going more than i am tbf, she can't wait to have the full bed to herself and to watch all her shite on tv that I don't like!
