How much does it cost?
It’s a £5 or €5.50 (in Ireland) entry fee per stable.

The prize
There is a £100,000 guaranteed prize pool. The total pool is determined by the number of entries and pays prizes down to tenth place. Sixty per cent of the pool goes to the winner.

The free-to-play game
Every paid-for entry gives access to a free-to-play game. The free-to-play game has raceday prizes.

The scoring
Horses gain points as follows:

Grade 1 win = 25 points
Grade 2 win = 20 points
Grade 3 win = 15 points
Listed win = 12 points
Any other race = 10 points

Extra points
These are gained based on a payout of a £1 each-way bet with the Tote.

The bonus races
There are 21 bonus races which are worth an additional 25 points to the winner and 12 points to the second.

Need help with selections?
The Angler's Algo: this is an auto-fill algorithm designed to select the best horses for your stable. Whether you want the algorithm to pick one, two or all ten horses it will pick a balanced stable optimised to score the most points across the season. The algorithm has been fine-tuned to select the optimum balance of stable. This includes targeting bonus races, selecting bankers and picking wildcard horses who can make the difference.

Plenty of extra guidance
See how popular each horse is as horse lists can now be sorted by percentage picked, highlighting the percentage of stables with that horse in; or most points last year. See the Racing Post Verdict on each horse, sort by bonus races, expected distance, Racing Post Rating, and race types to get all the info to pick the perfect ten.

Substitutions
There will be a seven-day transfer window in early March, when two substitutions can be made to lists.
