A smashing end to December with ice-cool leader Pebbles notching yet another winner, this time at 4/1. David needed his selection Moulins Clermont to win to snatch the title, but the gelding ran into one in the shape of the impressive Blenkinsop and finished 2nd at 25/1. Well done both, and everyone taking part in a cracking competition. As, ever, if I've messed anything up, please correct me on this thread.
Full steam ahead for the new year, for which I wish you 365 days free of heartache.

A disastrous start to the New Year for me. But hey, it's only up from here :P
Great set of ew doubles, Joe!
Coopers Cross 1.35M. Well done to pebbles & happy new year to all.
Happy New Year to all and congratulations to Peebles and those at top pf the class.
I've gone for Demachine 1.55 Ch e/w
Congratulations Pebbles and Happy New Year all. Hope it's a happy and profitable year. Not likely with 80-1 shots but will NAP Soldier Solid 11.55 Tramore. And thanks Joe for continuing to maintain this forum.
Congrats to those at the top of the leader board, and I wish everyone a very Happy New Year. (I was going to post on the The Guardian's forum, but some of the people there, I'm not sure I genuinely wish them a Happy New Year!!!)
Dolphin Square 3.05 Ch Nap
This horse always jumps out at me when looking at form lines (but part of the reason may be my favourite ever bet: a free £10 from Blue Square that I had on Hedgehunter 33s many months before he won the Grand national.)
Congratulations Pebbles and happy new year to everybody.
The nap today is Idilico ew - 14.10 Musselburgh
Well done Pebbles, I've left the premises in good condition. One of the remotes is a bit sticky..its the one that feeds the lions. The servants though will do this for you , though a couple of lost fingers near Xmas has made them a bit reluctant. Perhaps take a few duracell?
Nap to start year is Brave Seasco ch 13.55 ew .
Happy new year all
Happy New year to all !
Well done Pebbles.
Dolcita Fairyhouse 2.35, is the nap to start the year right.
Well done Pebbles a nice finish to the year….looking at my position it would appear that I didn’t even enter the comp in December….Here’s to Happy and Prosperous New Year and hope that the Russians come to their senses.
Jacamar 13:55 Ew Nap
NAP Cheltenham 12.45 - The Wolf (each way)
Happy New Year to all and thanks for the congratulations. It’s good to get my hands on the trophy but the main benefit is that January is a good month to have exclusive use of the villa in Barbados. I hope David replenished the bubbly chiller and beer fridge before he vacated.
Yazz should have sung, “The Only Way is Down”, because I know how difficult it will be to retain the title. Nonetheless, I’ll give it a go because two months in the Caribbean is surely better than one.
Absolutely Dylan is my selection in the 15.00 at Catterick to try and get the month off to a good start. 🥂
Congratulations to Pebbles.
NAP War Lord 1.55 Cheltenham.
Buon Anno a tutti.
Happy new year all.
Well done Pebbles on a great month.Absolutely Dylan 3.00 Catterick is the nap.
Congrats Pebbles and the other top lads ,well done .
Happy New Year everyone.
Well done Pebbles.
If I was on the Champs-Elysees I would have napped a 1/4 chance not a 4/1 chance.
I suppose it is always best to stick to your principles and ignore background noise otherwise we lose our way.
My nap is in the 15.25. Tramore.
My biggest irritation last year was to miss the last winner trained by WJ Austin in November at 11/1 as I don't do tracking and misread the Racecard.
Beating The Odds is my nap.
