Barring any disputes or clerical errors it seems that Tiger Roll won the RAWK Tipping comp for......

Drum roll............

Aedge659!!!  Congrats!!

He won by 11 points in the end as all the main players scored a blank in the last race.

Here are today's scores. Any disputes let me know and official final leaderboard will be posted (probably tomorrow)

Top scorer today was Aedge659 with 77.  3 winners a 2nd and a 3rd. Top tipping

Aedge score of 77 points effectively handed him the title and notably 30 points from Tiger Roll in the National.

My Grand National NAP - Pleasant Company just a yard short of winning it. Unbearable! I made a few quid on the place, but still! Had it at 40/1 too  :butt

Just realised Tiger Roll should have scored 30 points and not 25 as initially reported.

Doesn't effect the overall result but also makes Aedge the top day 3 scorer too

Yep, another couple of strides and there would have been a massive points swing between you and Aedge and you would have won this comp with room to spare.

I suppose missing out on the £££ hurts you most and I don't blame you!!
