To win the Tote Placepot, you need to pick a horse to place in the first six races at any UK, Irish or selected international meeting.
And Saturday’s big race comes in that sixth and final leg – so fingers crossed we’ve still got something to play for come the Gold Cup!
Our man is here to help out and goes through his picks trying to help you land a share of the enormous pot.
LEG 1: Belle Of Annandale, Isabella Bee
BELLE OF ANNANDALE had plenty in hand when scoring on her return to hurdles at Musselburgh last time.
ISABELLA BEE made it three wins on the spin at Taunton and looks ready for this step up in class.
LEG 2: Nassalam
NASSALAM ran a belter when fourth in the Grand Sefton over the big Aintree festivals last time out.
LEG 3: Masaccio, Jingko Blue
MASACCIO battled well to score at Chepstow last time and looks capable of improvement.
JINGKO BLUE showed lots of promise when second at Warwick and is another with more to come.

LEG 4: Jet Powered, Irish Hill
JET POWERED made a good start on debut for Nicky Henderson and is much better than we saw on his latest outing.
IRISH HILL looked in need of his comeback at Kempton last month and is only 1lb higher than his Ascot victory in February.
LEG 5: Under Control, Hansard
UNDER CONTROL goes well fresh and has had a wind op ahead of this comeback. Hansard caught the eye when second on return at Wincanton last month.
HANSARD caught the eye when second on return at Wincanton last month. He makes his handicap debut here and his rider Niall Houlihan is excellent value for his 3lb claim.
LEG 6: Monbeg Genius, Complete Unknown
MONBEG GENIUS looks capable of improvement and was going well before a mistake on comeback last time.
COMPLETE UNKNOWN has good form on heavy ground but trainer Paul Nicholls is confident he’ll enjoy these quicker conditions.
