Stickhorse, I'm not Brock but hope I can answer your questions.

The best two websites to find PPs and general info are:

www.racingpost.com
www.attheraces.com

Both of them require you to be a member, but signing up is easy and completely free.

Attheraces is a great website, packed full of facts and figures and free videos of past performances, and a lot of good people giving their thoughts. During Royal Ascot, I imagine there will be a micro site (might already be up).

The term 'NAP' I believe is a very old term and has something to do with Napoleon. Anyway, a 'NAP' is your best bet. The same as a 'Lock' which is what I gather the Americans call their best bet, am I correct?

I am all over this.

Kev, I hope you are mentally prepared to take a beating from a Yank in your own backyard.

Bigs, good to see you on board.. The more the merrier. Hopefully, we can get into double figures.. Myself and No Chance will be tough local opposition to grind down..

We should reverse an exatca on ourselves mate!

I'll be studying hard for this, and hopefully I'll get another massive exacta like I did a couple of years ago. A horse of Paul Webber's and Juniper Girl if I remember rightly

Bump- just a reminder that Royal Ascot starts tomorrow with 3 G1 races. First race is at 2.30pm local time which is 9.30am eastern time.
