I am!

Going Tues and Wed.

Tues treble of My Tent or Yours, Simonsig and Quevega should be good.

Can't make my mind up about the Champion Hurdle and yet to study the form and do my research for the rest of the day.

Not me. Went a couple of years ago to that madhouse and i'm not in a hurry to go back.

Don't get me wrong, it was a great day out and I will go again sometime, but for the time being I'll be watching it nice and cosy from home, where I have access to my computer systems with more time to analyse the races.

Tuesday & Wednesday for me; would have been going anyway but also have managed to get corporate for both days. Gives you somewhere to hide from the madness occassionally, although Friday is the worst.

Friday will be in the pub for the duration with 20-30 other likeminded people.

Can't suss the Champion hurdle, wide open; the Irish still think Hurricane Fly will regain it but too short at the current prices.

Friday for me. I used to go for the whole week, literally - Saturday to Saturday. If that were still the case then Villa away would have followed on nicely as a diversion on the way home.

Haven't sorted them out but will be ready for Tuesday. It looks difficult.

I had another look at the Champion Hurdle and, you know what, I think the Irish are right. Gonna wait till the day and have another look. Need to see what the market does on Tues...but accepting last yr as Fly's one fluke, where it only had one prep race (3 this yr, all won) and it is a better horse with a better record than the rest. I won on RoR last yr and really like Zarkander (got a small antepost at 8/1) but just think Fly with have too much. Cinders and Ashes is the ew value in the race.

Im going on Friday as I do every year, it's madness but you just have to get on with it and have always had a really good day out. The only horse im confident on is our Conor in the first on the Friday.

The nearest thing to a certainty that isn't Sprinter Sacre is Pont Alexandre in the Neptune on Wednesday.

Don't know if it's still on but yesterday Coral were doing evens for Sprinter Sacre max £20 bet.

So basically a free £20

Ohhhh I forgot it was Cheltenham. Excited.

Someone should start a thread every morning like last year.

Dun Doire (sp) has a place in LFW history when it romped home at 8-1 with half the forum backing it.

bump...

Frost covers being employed. Ground forecast to be soft.

p.s. Betvictor are offering an AMAZING offer for the first race on Tues for new AND existing account holders, I think.

If you don't win any money in the Supreme Novices they will give you a free bet to the same value as your stake up to £50.

So, effectively they're giving you a free £50 win bet on the 6/4 fav. Win and you make £75. Lose and they'll give you another £50 bet for something. Just put that on a absolute banker...like Utd to win the league or something and you've turned the free bet into hard cash.

I'll be there Tues and Wed. Had a great Tues last year. Staying in Cheltenham too. Last year stayed in Swindon. Nothing going on there at all. Last year had £40 on a 14-1 winner. Happy days.

I think that's probably pretty sensible. It's not going to be goodish ground but it won't be proper soft either. Tacky, sticky, horrible stuff -- bit like our pitch!!

Right, my day 1 tips!

I really like My Tent or Yours. Think he'll blow the old "Don't back the fav in the Supreme Novices" superstition out of the water this year. If you don't want to back him, Champagne Fever has come in like a train in the last 24hrs.

Simonsig, but only narrowly...maybe a length or two from Overturn.

The JLT is a bugger. I'm tempted by Loch Ba and Fruit O'Rooney. And Monkerty Tunkerty looks decent ew value.

The more I look at the Champion, the more I'm convinced it'll be Hurricane Fly 1st, possibly with Grandouet 2nd.

In the Neptunes, I'm leaning towards Outlaw Pete.

Quevega, though Swing Bowler is an interesting ew shout at 8/1 or in an exacta.

In the Novices Handicap Chase, I like Shangani but think Rajdhani Express (if it decides it can jump this week) is good value at 22/1. Ohio Gold and Fourjacks also look value...but it's a bit of a lottery. Take your pick and hope.

One thing I do know...I will be cold.

And drunk.

p.s. a accumulator of My Tent or Yours, Simonsig, Hurricane Fly and Quevaga pays about 21/1. I really think they all have excellent chances and whilst these accas rarely come in...I'll be genuinely surprised if any of them loses.

Let's hope it passes the 10.30 inspection. It will be very testing ground that's for sure.
Puffin Billy looks the value bet in the 1.30 and Outlaw Pete has C/D winning form in the 4.00.

Wish I could be like David Watts

My son has a tenner at 33-1 it will be called off today! Can't see it myself as they will throw every man and his dog at it to get racing today.
