How to Play
It's easy to play — just follow these simple steps:
- If you are not already registered as a User, select the Not registered? button and follow the instructions. You only need to do this once. If you have played any other Select A Stable competition in the last 12 months online, you'll be able to log straight in with your email address and password.
- When you log in you'll come to Your Account Home page, select the large Enter Now image or the Select Stables link in the left hand menu.
- You will have to give each stable you register a unique name of no more than 25 characters: eg: Ben's Cheltenham Champs.
- You will then need to make your selections. Study the horse list which contains 106 intended runners for the specified 10 races over the course of the Cheltenham Festival 2008 (11-14 March), and then pick 10 Horses, of which 2 have to be nominated as Bankers. Your chosen 10 will score points according to their finishing position and SP in the specified races for the competition. Banker selections will score double points.
HELP MAKING YOUR SELECTIONS
With 10 horses to select from 106, you have some big decisions to make. Will you side with Kauto Star or Denman? Will you include both Paul Nicholls' superstars? Will Master Minded outsmart his Champion Chase rivals? Can Inglis Drever land a World Hurdle hat-trick?
For detailed form research you can click on the name of the horse which links to the Racing Post formguide and includes a lifetime form history and latest entry information.

You can enter Select A Cheltenham Stable as many times as you want, providing your stables are not identical.
- Once you are happy with all your stables, select DONE SELECTING STABLES.

Substitutes
There are two horse substitutions available per stable in Select A Cheltenham Stable. If you discover that one of your horses is an unlikely runner or you want to change a selection, you can make a substitution before the start of the competition (1.45pm on Tuesday 11 March 2008).
When viewing a stable, select Substitutions from the left hand menu and alter your selections as necessary by using the drop-down boxes.
Remember to CONFIRM your substitutions in order for them to be registered.
