There is a possible GB£ 3 million up for grabs in the Scoop 6 this Saturday.
All you have to do is pick the six winners of the selected races at Haydock and Kempton this weekend and then find the winner of the bonus race next weekend and the GB£ 1.63 million win fund and GB£ 1.95 million bonus fund could be yours.
But the races look tricky from the very outset. The first leg (2.05 at Haydock) is no easy affair and later on there is the 19 runner in the handicap chase (3.15) to sort out.
Good luck!
UPDATE:
The Scoop 6 went without a winner again (19 April), not surprising when the opening two legs went to a 16/1 shot and an 11/2 winner. They were followed by 9/1, 18/1, 5/1, 13/2 winners.
If you could find all those six horses then you probably deserve more than GB£ 3 million!
The win fund will rollover to next weekend.

British Champions Series: fantasy racing 2014
The British Champions Series 2014 begins with the QIPCO 2000 Guineas at Newmarket on Saturday 3 May 2014 and concludes at Ascot on British Champions Day in mid-October.
So there are just over two weeks to pick you stable of trainers and jockeys for the new season's fantasy racing game:

Jockey George Baker topped the leaderboard in 2013 with his sole victory aboard Seal Of Approval in the QIPCO British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes at Ascot on British Champions Day at 16/1, when double points were scored.
Robert Cowell trained Jwala (40/1) to win the Nunthorpe Stakes at York and, coupled with Kingsgate Native (16/1) winning the Temple Stakes at Haydock, put him top of the trainers' list. Sadly, Jwala was killed when racing in Hong Kong later in the season.
But the key to success in the game is clearly a few big-priced winners rather than more short-priced winners. Richard Hughes rode five winners but amassed only 279 points to Baker's 760 points. Similarly, Aidan O'Brien's five wins earned 365 points to Cowell's 1,010.
And winning on British Champions Day itself, when points count double, also helps!

Turf notes: 13 April 2014
The grey filly Mecca's Angel made a winning start to the season with a decisive victory in the five furlong sprint at Thirsk on Saturday (5.10).
Michael Dods' three-year-old was very consistent last season and is now 3/6 in wins over five furlongs.
She was twice second in Listed races last season and had no problem giving weight to her rivals back in a handicap on Saturday, coming clear by 4 1/2 lengths.
The filly has no future entries at the time of writing.
