4 days off work - can't wait to get started.

Hope some of us manage to make it pay.

Been under the weather over the past 2 or 3 days so playing catch in terms of finalising the selections.

Can't have either Kauto Star or Denman for the Gold Cup though.

Very Confident in Binocular - saw him at Haydock and was in awe, a fantastic Horse and McCoy loves to ride him.

To my knowledge he hasn't won at Cheltenham in two starts.

Don't forget guys although Cheltenham is the great racing spectacle, there will be money to be had at other racecourses this week due to the same reason.
All the money goes to Cheltenham and people often forget about the racing at other tracks including the bookies sometimes.

Binocular has only run once at Cheltenham, last years Supreme Novice Hurdle when beaten into second by Captain Cee Bee.

Connections believe that with hindsight the horse hit the front too far out last year and different tactics will be employed today.

Very valid point. There will still be value to be had elsewhere this week.

There is something telling me not to back Cousin Vinny today, these rumors about him not traveling well and not eating are a little worrying and it's jumping is a little dodgy as shown in it's last race.

Fancy Torphichen @ 11/2 for E/W money.

Sorry i thought he had two runs at Cheltenham but i think the hill got the better of him last year, with the rain around and some really good horses in the same race i can see it losing again, 7/4 is also shocking odds.
