9-2 the field at the moment so it's a very open race. Only bet I've had so far is Kempes e/w a couple of a weeks ago, but Long Run has plenty going for him. Only slight concern would be that he has yet to show his best form at Cheltenham, but the King George run puts him well ahead of Kauto...

Can't say I blame you.

Have just walked the course, no excuses for anyone on that ground. Good, good-to-soft in places is spot on, it is damp on top and plenty of moisture in the air to help keep it that way. Simply walking to the top of the hill and then looking down towards the home turn and the stands is hugely...

Very little rain at the track in the end. Will go and give it a prod in a while and report back.

You could say that. Fair while since I've had a bet like that. Never imagined in nearly a quarter of a century coming to the Festival that I would find my whole week resting on a horse trained by HRA Cecil with Lorna Bradburne in the saddle. What a legend that man is. Good job Plunks had a...

Get. The. f***. In.

Someone I know was talking to one of the other jockeys in the race a few minutes ago, and even she reckoned that Plato's a certainty.

Errrm, yes. Was a little the worse for wear last night, to say the least. Woke up this morning to find that Skybet had cut Plato from 11-4 to 9-4, and a nagging feeling in the back of a very fuzzy brain that I might have had something to do with it. Checked my account and the last login was...

Interesting race tomorrow might just be the charity event at the close of proceedings. Several bookies are offering odds on this and i'm very much drawn towards Turbo and Lorna Fowler (nee Bradburne). Lorna is/was a very capable pilot, and Turbo is trained by none other than Henry Cecil, who is...

It's worth opening a few different accounts to take advantage of various offers, some of them are extremely generous. Several bookies going each-way 1/4 odds on the first five in the handicap chase for instance, which is very fair given there are 19 runners so probably overbroke in the place...

More medication problems for Henderson. First the Queen's horse, now McManus's pride and joy. Some bookies are giving refunds and Ladbrokes were NRNB since November, but will still have cost plenty of people a lot of money. Was getting steroids for an allergy apparently. Should have cleared his...

Even the trainer of So Young hasn't made his mind up yet. Will be either the Supreme (first race on Tuesday) or the Neptune (second on Wednesday). @Chops In case you weren't aware, the media pass will let you walk the course before racing should the mood take you. Can heartily recommend it if...
