IT was definitely a case of ‘After The Lord Mayor’s Show’ of the Cheltenham Festival in the Dalepak sponsored Winter Naps Challenge on Saturday, run in conjunction with Semilong Sports.
Of the 29 winners in total, the best price came via Big Occasion, the 6/1 scorer in the Midlands Grand National with eight clubs picking that one.
At the top, Growly Bears, Nag Nappers, Dave’s Doublers and Loco Saints did their prize money chances no harm.
In the Sammy Parker Trophy, Yeoman Boys have slipped under the radar and with five weeks left now lead with 13 winners, an advantage of three over Growly Bears and Aye Boy.
This Saturday, jumping action centres on Bangor, Kelso, Newbury and Stratford. Weather permitting!
