There is 100 bonus points available by correctly guessing the total number of Pull-up's over all the races (29) at Cheltenham (eg. 58) so a correct guess will add 100 points to your final score -

3rd - 5 points
You will also receive double points from your picks from Group 5 (i.e if a Doug Warren horse places 2nd you will receive 10 x 2 = 20 points)
