ive taken 11/8 today couldnt resist

Paul Townend has a decent chance of top jock even taking mostly Mullins second strings but with doubts over Ruby's fitness possibly improving the quality of his mounts 20/1 looks decent especially as Sportingbet allow you 1/4 1,2,3.

That is what usually happens when the money is down

Stuck £120 on at 4/5 hopefully it pays for the day, was 10/3 four bookies when I put it on here at 5/6 now only one is that price with all the others being 3/1 I reckon as long as nothing goes wrong it was go off 5/2 or 11/4 fav on the day.

Tempted to back Big Buck's myself but gonna wait until the festival starts. Hopefully anything I win on Tuesday can go towards it.

Want to see how the ground is, the weather is totally unpredictable ATM.

Think am pretty much done apart from having ago at some handicaps and backing some if they drift.

Pretty undecided as yet - will do most of my tipping on the eve of the Festival.

Hoping to get over to Cheltenham for a day, Tues or Weds I think.

Geraghty riding Spirit Son.

AP on Sprinter Sacre.

I'm liking Midnight Chase for the Gold Cup. Finding it difficult to believe 1 of Denman, Kauto or Imperial Commander can win.

McCoy casts doubt over Binocular winning the Champion Hurdle saying that he would need to raise his game to do so.

He's shitting himself about Hurricane Fly
