Thought it should have its own thread for those who are interested. Love seeing the pictures of the Irish horses out exercising on the course.

I’m excited about tomorrow but slightly concerned about the lack of stars, just hope some of the young horses show how good they can be for the future. Who wins the champion hurdle ?

I see no lack of stars? It’s great to have new horses coming through.
Golden Ace… I’d so love her to do it again. It may very well be unlikely but I’ll be helping Lorcan up the hill.

I’m looking forward to it too. The first day is my favourite but I also love the Champion Chase. I won’t be watching much of it though as don’t have the heart or stomach for it now. I can’t bear to see fallers or worse. I’ll just have everything crossed that all horses and jockeys come back safely.

Jonbon not running in the Champion Chase, but think that was expected. Would also love Golden Ace to win again, or if not then Lossiemouth.

I only ever support British horses so am hoping for a better year than usual this time around!

I go for horse looks - hence my selection of a certain type of bay horse on most occasions. Neither of my Champion Hurdle ones fit that, but in that case am going for trainer/jockey and then grey for a change. The Cross Country race has some old favourites in it. I had picked Desertmore House but he seems to have shortened in the odds a lot recently (nothing to do with me!).

I’ve booked one of my engineers to a job in Prestbury on Wednesday morning 
and Cheltenham to Winchcombe area on Friday. He will be cursing me

Not sure their Dan Skelton very good likeness! Very good though. I was thinking I get stressed if stuck in a traffic jam with my horse, let alone six or so hours more on the ferry. They are all reported fine though.

Another one rooting for Golden Ace tomorrow, although (apologies to Dan and Harry) I'd be equally happy to see Lossiemouth pull away from them all going to the final hurdle. I'll be recording it like I do at the weekends, I'm wfh tomorrow and Wednesday but I'm also too chicken to watch it live these days so may have the sound on and listen in from my office in the next room
