Sorry to mess you about Tony but I think it would be better to pick the 8 winners of the groups and the Winner & Runner Up in the final, as was done last year.

It looks to complicated otherwise!

I can see where Tony's coming from.......choosing the 8 group winners looks too simplistic, we'll probably all choose the same ones !

The spirit of Tipsters is to try and name the 8 quarter-finalists. With 16 going through to the main, finding the eight might not be a 'given' as two might originate from the same group.

Having said that, a normal Plate is almost certainly on the cards for this year, if my prediction is correct of about 40 entering the Main and only 8 takers for the Minnows.
