I'm going tomorrow but I'm wanting to put my bets on before I get there, hate having to queue up and would prefer to do it online and sit back and relax.

Do need to have some bets on though or where's the fun in going?

Looking for a token £5 a race. Spread in any way I fancy.

Any hot tips?

throw a dart from 50 yards at an A4 piece of paper with the names of the horses on... if you hit the piece of paper then back the nearest horse to where the dart strikes... failing that don't bet on the national and expect skill to play any part in it... it's carnage

Veeneck it's a good jumper.
Or Creosote good on the fences.

Comply Or Die each way should be a good bet. Won the race is 2008 and second last year. That's where my hard earned money will be going.

About an hour to wait to see if my £25 each way on Pak Jack in the 3:45 was a worthy punt 4 months ago.

I try and look for a horse thats humped big weights over long distances recently, under 11st, no 7 or 12 year olds, under 33/1.

The french bred and 33/1 stat went last year so maybe the weight stat will go this year.

I can see lots of people getting on The Package and Big Fella Thanks but not me.

You can make a case for most of these animals, i wouldn't even rule out Palypso de creek and Piraya.

I backed 5 horse last year, one was Comply or Die, the other was Mon Mome (190-1 on Betfair)...
