    Think it was JibberJabber who had a very good Cheltenham last year.
    Below are his picks today.

    Workahead was a bit keen but went out like a light and was beaten far too early for something not to be wrong in finishing last with Stablemate, Sky Lord (50/1) three in front of him. It will be interesting to see how HDB's other horses today, The Short Go and July Flower, perform.

    He dropped away so quickly, I'd imagine it's horse-specific - may be wind.
    Nonetheless, not so sure I'd nap Henry's in the Ultima now - we'll see.

    Extraordinary run from Jango Baie. Up front, outpaced and called as "out of it" by the commentator and gets up in the last two or three strides!

    He clobbered the one at the bottom of the hill as well. Unreal.

    As Nicky Henderson has just said, that will be the last time we see him over 2 miles

    Ridiculous race, brilliant to watch.

    That was a crazy Arkle.
    No way was all the 4 odds on going to win today and with  the favourite Majborough jumping so poorly over the last two fences it was a bizarre finish with the can't keep up with the pace Jango Baie turning into a two miler !

    As Henderson said, he was flying at the end.

    Only took part in this race because the 2m 4f race was scrapped this year. Why?

    Ladbrokes regretting being out of line on Myretown at 22s a couple of days ago.
    And some money for Zanahiyr!! 22s on the rails seemingly.

    Fuck me these starters are fuckwits.
    WTF was so wrong with that?

    How to create a shambolic start.

    "Brewery and arrange" are just two words from a well-worn phrase to describe that farce of a start!

    The Short Go ran a perfectly respectable race so, as you say, it must have been something specific to Workahead

    Cheers mate.
    Makes up for a little the countless Festival duds over the years.
    Probably used up all my luck though  :/

    The Ultima's such a stamina test I used my GN pedigree slide rule to pick them out, so fingers crossed.

    I had free bets for the first three days last year, all winners. Mind you they were £5 free bets, only £2 this year.

    Starter was Robbie Supple who manages to screw up most years at Cheltenham.
