Two of these twelve to be identified as your bankers for the week.

Scoring System as follows:

Winner 10 points
2nd       7
3rd        6
4th        5

Failure to complete the course* -2

*Failing to complete the course = Falling, unseating rider, being pulled up, being brought down, slipping up, running out, refusing at the start, refusing a fence/hurdle (as listed on irish-racing.com).

Bonus points will also be awarded to winning horses, depending on SP, as follows:

Evens and up to 2-1         1 pt
Over 2-1 and up to 3-1     2 pts
Over 3-1 and up to 4-1     3 pts
Over 4-1 and up to 5-1     4 pts
Over 5-1 and up to 8-1     5 pts
Over 8-1 and up to 12-1    6 pts
Over 12-1 and up to 20-1  7 pts
Over 20-1 10 pts

Note: Victorious horses with SP's lower than evens will not receive an SP bonus

Banker selections earn double points. For example, a 25-1 winner scores 40 points (20 for the win, 20 for the SP bonus).
A banker who fails to complete the course will score -4 points, instead of -2.

In the event of a dead-heat for one of the first six places in any of the 10 races, both horses will score full points for the places involved.

Ye can post them all together or day by day and can change selections up to the off. However, if you're making a change, please make it a new post rather than an edit or I could miss it.
