Hello Friend
Festival week was one to remember. I had been in a bit of a lull for most of the winter and was hoping/expecting that I may bounce back during the best jumps racing week of the year. My unique approach has yet to have a bad Festival.
I ended up tipping in 13 races over the week (inc the Midlands National) finding 6 winners, and profits of +92 points, or +920 to £10 stakes, with an advised 25 point (£250) starting bank.
Winners at 9/1, 28/1, 12/1, 50/1, 12/1 and 25/1 made for a quite memorable and profitable week.
Special thanks to the 100 or so of you who joined the RTP regulars for the week. I think it's safe to say we had a good time, and no one has requested a refund! I'd have been a tad bemused had they done so :)
One reader even copped £11k + from a multiple using the info in the posts, and another copped 2-3k or so from a similar bet. Great stuff.
But, that is behind us now, and we move on. Buoyed by returning to some sort of form! I shall see how long it lasts. (the Flat isn't too far away...)
I've had a look at the 4.20 Haydock with the hope that my 'festival eyes' may rub off on the mid-week dross we have generally been served up this jumps season.
The two pokes...
Solid Strike - 1.5 points - 6/1
Katenko - 1/2 point win 8/1

Elsewhere on the blog..
My Festival review post is taking shape and I will complete this today. At the moment it has video reviews for Days 1 + 2. I will add one more for Days 3+4 and add some writing 'what I learnt this year' type thoughts, for those who don't wish to watch/listen to the videos.
(they are not just 'oh look at all the winners we had' - they are reflective and I have tried to talk through ideas that may help with your own punting)

Aintree Grand National Meeting
Looking ahead and my favourite jumps meeting of the year isn't far off. Maybe not favourite from a punting/puzzle solving perspective, I do prefer Cheltenham, but it is from a social viewpoint. As has been the case every year since I moved north from Suffolk to Liverpool, I attend for all three days. It's great to catch up with friends, have a few drinks, and just enjoy the racing. Unlike Festival week I actually leave my flat! Fingers crossed the sun shines.
As with every year any Aintree content will be posted for free. It is nowhere near as intense at Cheltenham but I will preview the odd race and there will be a few stats reports that i'll throw your way. I think the free tips made +16 points last year, Rather Be 12s and Sizing Codelco 16s, being the handicap highlights.
* All the best, Josh
