Go every year, Tuesday this year for me. Always think that's the best day. Gold Cup day is ridiculous plus there is no real star this year.
Sir Des Champs to win the GC if ground stays ok Fly to get beat in the Champ Hurdle. Peddlers Cross e/w in World Hurdle at a price. Sprintre Sacre is nailed.
Yes, we went on Friday. You literally can't move. I don't know how I managed to get so pished considering the scrambles at the bars. A concerted effort !
Dunguib & Cue Card 2 that stuffed me in the Supreme's. Had darlan last year, I'm sure my tent or yours will go onto just as good things as darlan was set for
The Supreme Novices Hurdle is a great race, a brilliant way to start things off. However there have been plenty of very short priced favourites that have faltered. In fact not since Brave Inca in 2004 no favourite has won. Some of the favourites prices have been ridiculous as each years “sure thing” has not triumphed. Cue Card and Cousin Vinny spring to mind. Dunguib, who actually went off odds-on had a remarkable record having won 8 in a row including the Bumper at the previous festival, was probably the only one who justified the hype, but still lost. Always a keenly run race for young hurdlers and with that huge roar of the crowd it has thrown up some big price winners. If you fancy a horse at Cheltenham don’t be put off by long-odds. The number of favourites that win at the festival is surprisingly low.
Here is how the favs in the Supreme Novice have fared since Brav Inca won:
Jezki was my original hope, form of his last win really hasn't been done much good though. Won well last time with a bit to spare and impressive on the eye but I seriously think my tent or yours will be a special horse
Is there a dress code in the best mate enclosure? most people wear suits still?
No dress code in Best Mate Enc. No real dress code at all at Cheltenham, it's not Royal Ascot. In the Club Enclosure most tend to dress smartish, ie no jeans or trainers and most wear a collared shirt and jacket.

I am a big follower of trends in racing and especially at the festival, and so I won't be backing My Tent or Yours!
