    Winter Prize Leader Board

    Here is the leader board for the Winter Prize on the eve of Aintree, and it shows that the competition is still wide open. Maruco is the overall leader after winning both parts of the Ante Post competition but several others are breathing down his neck.

    Points are given based on placings in the Ante Post and Ten To Follow competitions. The main part of the Ante Post competition (AP) and the Ten To Follow (TTF) are given twice the weighting of the Most Valuable Portfolio (MVP) rankings. With the Ante Post competition already finished, everything now depends on the outcome of the TTF.

    The higher the ranking the lower the points. Anyone moving up a place in the TTF will shed two points, while dropping a place will add two points to your score.

    Maruco C's move into 2nd place in the Ten To Follow now puts him on only 7 points in the Winter Prize.

    Bonjers C and Grey B are on 33 points, and chroniclandlord C (39), Anadin B (40) and chroniclandlord A (also 40) complete the top 6, as far as I can tell without doing a full update.

    No big change today, most of the main contenders had Un De Sceaux in their Ten To Follows. Maruco is still leading and his odds are shortening.

    Just to confirm that Maruco (Paul) has run away with the Winter Prize after winning both parts of the Ante Post competition and coming within an ace (an Apples Jade, actually) of winning the Ten To Follow as well. Very well done, sir.

    I'll post an updated leader board tomorrow.

    Well done Paul!
