On Cheltenham Gold Cup Day, I thought I had a formidable "Grandfolio" with Inothewayurthinking @ 25/1, Intense Raffles @ 14/1, Stumptown @ 35 and Iroko @ 14/1 - four well-handicapped horses who simply needed the Soft ground Aintree would surely manufacture.

I've had to adapt in light of subsequent events, principally in a Hewick and other spring-ground stayers direction and I now feel like I've bet a third of the field with no guarantee of a return.

It's been a blinding meeting for me, and I'll be in front on it now come what may, but I could give a fair bit back today and right now I'd take breaking even on the race and protecting what I've got.

But that's the game and this is a particularly high-quality renewal and I can't wait for it.
