Tongue tie and hood worked a treat plus George woods 5lb claim, all factors, long overdue that's for sure, I was shocked that he never came off the bridle till the last furlong n half, looked so good, buzzing again !!!!

Geraghty probably out injured for Cheltenham .. could mean a lot more JPM rides for Coleman who I thought would have got the green and gold job last year when AP retired
Bookies have shortened Vroum Vroum Mag for the mares as has Limini for the Champion. Haven't seen anything but is that indicative of where they are heading?

Most likely - they won't run against each other that's for certain.
Currently going with a group of about 8 of us going to Gold Cup day at Cheltenham. We've got a minibus booked. Advice would be welcome from anyone who's traveled from Dartford (or the surrounding areas) to the racecourse before in terms of what time to set off. Don't want to get stuck in traffic and miss any of the racing.

We're driving from Bromley and leaving at 8am latest. Let's face it, you really can't get there too early, a great atmosphere and all the pubs will be very busy. The traffic in Cheltenham is 1st gear or stop from about 11am. It also depends where you are parking. It takes @25 mins to walk from the town centre to the Racecourse and the same to drive after 11am.

I'd leave as early as you possibly can. Why take the chance of hitting trouble on the M25 and the later you leave it the worse the traffic will be when you get to Cheltenham. Like Covered End says you can't get there too early. The atmosphere in the 2/3 hours before racing, either in the town or on course, is great.

She may well be good enough for what looks like a very open Champion Hurdle - 12/1 available and I might have a nibble at that.
Good luck today @killer kish hopefully he goes in again.
Did you or anyone hear why ?!
I have it on very good authority that Melon is spot on and as long as nothing happens in the next two weeks he will take his place in the Supreme.
He is still favourite or joint favourite with most books.
2.5 hours on a non racing day.
