    I haven't looked yet, or had any bets. Might just do on the day, but will obviously look out for tips too.

    Every year we stay in brum for the 2 days we attend weds and Thursday 
    we usually go centaur after the racing has finished let crowds die down and then walk back to the cotswold inn, can never seem to find any pubs after this so we usually head to station and get back to brum and go out around there - highlight of last year was seeing Ian dowie in pop world

    What are your NAP's on each day?
    One thing I have never done is have a bet on Cheltenham, don't ask me why as I don't know myself, but for some reason I fancy it this year.
    Thinking of doing a lucky 15, one race on every day

    Right, tips for Thursday please, from a complete novice who only ever bets on the Grand National and a bit of football & cricket?

    Words of one syllable will help....

    1.30 - Marsh (formerly JLT): Mister Fisher
    2.10 - Pertemps: Skandiburg (each way)
    2.50 - Ryanair: Min (but I'll be on a watching brief I suspect)
    3.30 - Stayers' Hurdle: Paisley Park but the odds are prohibitive, so City Island e/w
    4.10 - Brown Plate: ugh. Spiritofthegames or La Bague Au Roi would be my each-way choices.
    4.50 - Mares' Novice: Concertista e/w
    5.30 - Kim Muir: Milan Native e/w though it's a race I'd rather decide on the day.

    Better do my picks for tomorrow at the current prices, though I'm finding it quite difficult:

    1.30 - Abracadabras @ 11/2
    2.10 - Esprit Du Large @ 11/1 each way
    2.50 - Vintage Clouds @ 25/1 e/w (especially with any extra places), also Cogry @ 25/1 e/w, but there's a lot of chances in this. Mister Malarky and Mulcahys Hill also on the mind.
    3.30 - ... not a real top class renewal but should be a good watch. Worth looking each way - Ballyandy @ 18/1 makes some sense, as does Silver Streak (22s).
    4.10 - Roksana @ 10/1 e/w but can't wait to see Benie Des Dieux vs Honeysuckle. Properly exciting that.
    4.50 - Beakstown and Earlofthecotswolds e/w
    5.30 - Springfield Fox @ 7/1 though I do really like Lord Du Mesnil. Hoping it'll be a better race than last year.

    SKYBET doing up to £10 back in cash if your horse loses in the first race, so basically a free shot.

    Gone with Fiddlerontheroof.

    Shishkin on the drift.

    Olly Murphy believes he has a few good chances this week but his best chance of a winner is Skandiburg on Thursday in the Pertemps
