Hi Shane, It is normally the first week in Feb. The way it works is that on a stated date, they make the entry web page active at 13:00 GMT and to enter you need to fill the online form in and submit it. The first 120 forms received in that fashion get automatic entry regardless of handicap (up to 15.4). The entry procedure closes 4 weeks (I think) after the initial date. After that closing date, the second 120 places are filled by handicap order. If you are interested, you will need to be sat ready at your PC to enter bang on 13:00. The first 120 places are normally filled within the first 1.5 minutes of it going live. This year I did not get in on the first 120 as my entry took 105 seconds. After the closing date I was sat at number 255 so was at number 15 on the reserve list. Usually they get approx 20 - 30 people either not paying or pulling out and they then take people in hcap order off the reserves and that is how I managed to get in this year. The ballot handicap cut for the second 120 this year was at 4.1, the lowest it has been for some time. If interested, do your utmost to get an entry in. You will NOT be disapointed.
