Could've put some sort of warning on the title i.e bad news about Anzadam, Ian's gonna be spitting out his choice of Tescos meal deal when he reads that.

Once again, The Devil vomits in my kettle, Daniel.

Not to worry, onwards and upwards.

Nothing worse Ian -I can still remember getting the phone call in 1994 telling me that my 250/1 bet on Barton Bank to do the Charlie Hall/Gold Cup double was dead in the water.

Tbh, Luke I don't get that involved ante-post, and Anzadam was just a small segment of my portfolio.

I've got numerous Cheltenham bets - the best probably on paper being 33/1 East India Dock for the Triumph and the worst being the now two non runners I've backed.

It's all part of the game.

Back in the day winning ante post bets at Cheltenham earned you a lot of kudos with knowledgeable punters especially if you nailed you colours to the mast a long way out.There was nothing like a winning ante post bet turning your festival around.Over the years I have got more reluctant to get involved due to the emotional turmoil when one is injured in his final pre festival gallop.

Tbh, I've never been that interested in "kudos."

I'd rather quietly win long term, than noisily lose long term with the occasional triumphalist bit of bragging along the way.

A wise man gave me the same advice years ago -win it quietly.
