Good: This is the first Cheltenham I think I've properly enjoyed throughout, ever. I was mad into racing a few years ago and slowly lost interest, to the point I didn't really watch the last couple of years, but this year has been brilliant. A few winners helped, naturally, but just enjoying...

Another one for the first time headgear stat! I didn't back him but this angle seems to always produce something. No Ordinary Joe and Doyen Quest meet the criteria in the lucky last.

Sadly now confirmed as fatal. Bless him.

Initially I thought he'd run, now I'm thinking it's unlikely. He's just thrashed the king of the staying division and is only 7yo, he could come back for another 3 or 4 GCs. Obviously, he'll never be as well handicapped for the GN ever again, but it depends how much they want to win it. What...

GDC never got into a rhythm in that, undoubtedly the faller didn't do him any favours mid race either. What a performance by the winner though, travelled beautifully and powered away. Must be nailed on for the National but at 5/2 he can win without my money!

I like the look of Wingmen in the AB. He's not the type I'd usually go for in this race but he's got some good bits of form against horses shorter in the market. Elliott's form is putting me off, for all he's hit the crossbar a few times. Derryhassen Paddy another I like.

Hansard must certainly be worth a try. I thought he had more than a shout approaching 2 out in the Kingwell, and the first 2 are pretty good horses. That Windsor race wasn't the best performance but the horses all around him have done pretty well since. Beat The Bat was 4th in the Coral Cup...

Any concerns about the ground? I was keen on him for National Trial at Haydock and he was a NR because of the ground (if I recall correctly) because of the G/S ground. Looks like it might be similar tomorrow.

Sorry to be a pedant (promise!) but did I get my 5 bonus points for Doddiethegreat? :)

What a beast! Reminded me a bit of Solwhit a few years ago, classy horse and just coaxed into it.

What next for Il Est Francais? QMCC next year? That's if he's back at Cheltenham at all.

I didn't back him but wasn't that an enjoyable watch?! Not many finer sights than a grey going off like that.

I may be going mad but I think Master Chewy has a chance in the Ryanair (15:20). The trip is the biggest concern for me, but he otherwise looks pretty solid. He has beaten Djelo in the past (conceding weight), albeit over shorter trips/different tracks to today. I do wonder if Il Est Francais...

Demnat is an interesting one. He travelled lovely and jumped pretty well until about 2/3 out in the Kim Muir last year, and is running off basically 4lbs lower this year (with the claim), so you'd think the shorter trip should help him out. I'm not sure if he seemed a bit awkward/reluctant in...

I really like both of these. I was there when Personal Ambition won the G2 hurdle at Kelso, and the 2nd turned out to be alright...
