    My grandad's funeral yesterday, so had a little nibble on Johns Spirit in the 5.15. Disappointed in the trials apparently so not expecting anything.

    Handicaps at Cheltenham are a nightmare. Best avoid them like the plague.

    Had the first two come up (after my indecision overnight I banged a 50 on the nose for Champagne) but pegged back on the Monkey.

    Best start at Cheltenham ever for me, but I will end up in the same place on Friday!

    Great stuff.

    Carlito next, I remember him tanking home at large odds in this one two years ago, it saved my Day 1!

    I'm very sweet on Sir Des Champs

    Has any horse ever won 3 different races at consecutive Festivals?
    Flying Bolt maybe.

    He won Gloucester Hurdle 1964
    Champion Novice 1965
    Champion Chase 1966

    Looking at my old form books Flyingbolt must have been really special.
    After winning the Champion Chase ,the next day he was only beaten 3 lengths in the Champion Hurdle.
