GBR Fantasy Jumps Series 2014-2015

The Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham was the first race in the new GBR Fantasy Jumps Series for 2014/2015.

The series ends next April with the Crabbies' Grand National at Aintree.

We got off to a good start by picking Caid Du Berlais (10/1) in one of our stables, earning 100 points. So after one race we are just outside the top 1,000 - could be the highest position we achieve throughout the entire season!

But we're already beginning to worry that we should have included Sam Twiston-Davies in one of our two stables. He is in group A, however, meaning you have to choose between the likes of AP McCoy, Barry Geraghty, Richard Johnson et al. It is not an easy decision. Use of stable transfers could be very important at different times during the season.
