Preparing for the flat?

[Martin]

I'm not a huge fan of the NH races and was wondering what people do in the coming weeks to prepare for the flat races? Anything like find out out whos rated by the trainers etc?

Re: Preparing for the flat? i'll be picking the cheltenham winners! dificult to start on the flat with aintree / punchestown in the way also. Normally have a punt early at donny & then get into it in May when the form settles down. someone once told me that you should never have a bet until royal ascot as the form is unknown. There will be certain trainers who are worth following & i am sure any posts will be welcome.
