How about these as rules? If anyone thinks I have got something wrong, please shout...
3 selections per day (so 9 in total)
Select 2pt win or 1pt e/w
Make one each day a win Nap for double points
Must include the Grand National on Saturday - double points (so a Nap on the National would be scored x 4 - for bravery!)
I'll use SP prices rather than Betfair.
If there is a dead heat I will score as if it wasn't - ie no deductions.
Stake 'returned' with score - so a 2/1 win scores +6 and a loser -2.

Two more rules...

Maximum one selection per race
Non-runners stake returned - so maybe include a reserve or add an extra if you have time.

Thanks everyone!
Pedro, Nap needs to be a win, so I will score The New One as so - unless you change him before the off.
Cheers

1.40 - Melodic Rendezvous - 1pt e.w
4.05 - Bishops Road - 1pt e.w

Trying the E.W approach, There seems to be some value with these imo.

OK, Josh - with 3 e/w's you don't have a nap, though? That's ok with me if you are happy, otherwise amend before the off
