I just gambled today on two separate accounts.

4 winners on one and two out the other.

The two were more profitable.

Maries Rock was a touch.

Found it ok today. Annoyed at first race as should have started with a win, but got caught late and was too over cautious, not wanting to start week with a big loss, ended up with small loss instead. Should have been braver and could have started with a decent result. Got a couple of ok results, but nothing major, probably too wary about getting caught on the wrong side of something late on.

Enjoyed the racing, but that starter is so annoying. He is the footballing equivalent of a referee holding up the game, trotting over to look at his VAR screen, where everybody watching is thinking just get on with it. He seems to do it every year, it’s farcical.

I'd forgotten how annoying the starter is at Cheltenham: -

Haha very good. They should have Yackety Sax playing on the loud speakers, he is becoming that much of a joke.

That one was ridiculous, for a 3 mile chase, if you’re going to make them start like that you may as well put them in stalls.

Just the 4 ( all Irish trained) runners in the opener tomorrow. Thought there was an error or something when I went to print the cards out. Pretty poor that, after all the hype and talk of a 5 th day, and they can only manage 4 runners with no GB trained runners in a grade one.

I had a nice position on Bravemansgame after Paul Nicholls' comments. Shame for me :(

Make sure you change the market then go back as the total will probably be different.

Mine was greened up then checked BF and i was -400 on one runner

A well timed comment from RW gave a nice boost on Farouk Dalene
