Charlie took the Cheltenham Festival spoils 40-20 ahead of John, in what proved to be another hugely hard-to-call week in Gloucestershire.
And now, there’s only the smaller matter of four Grade 1’s on the opening day at Aintree on Thursday afternoon as National Hunt heads north to Liverpool for the first National fixture since 2019.
The aim of the game is simple: one correct prediction is worth 5 points, with 10 awarded for winning NAPs.
