Thanks for the reply, Crash.

So what you are saying is that they more or less follow the 'common' wisdom of the weight of investment on the particular race?

While there are variations across the three TABs, and these obviously become of more interest as the race start time approaches, is there an agreed common starting point as it were? It would be great as a punter to have that indication (I know IAS gives that info, or similar, on Sats fairly early around noon); but is there a similar starting point for other days/races? Anyone?
