    Watched a re run of Champion Hurdle, don't know how significant this is but CH was a length or so behind BDA, BDA jumped the hurdle and knocked it just as CH was about to jump it it flicked back into his legs don't know how signicant this is maybe someone with more racing knowledge can let me know.
    Interesting the pre race interview with the owner they seemed really worried and nervous on this race. Not sure whether he knew something about the horse not known to others than those who closely work with him.

    just had sisters tips for tomorrow,,,

    1.20 The new lion/ Kisswill

    2.00 Ballyburn/Stella Story
     
    2.40  Ballyadam 

    3.20  Stumptown

    4.00  Jonbon

    4.40  JPR one/ Capt Guinness 

    5.20   Bambino fever 

    My changes in bold as i dont usually back low odd horses and do it for a bit of fun. No reason for this other than my ex mother in law was called Stella and i am sure Rachel Blackmore must win a race sometime and Guinness could be the one.

    Not sure it made a great deal of difference - CH didn't really take off (or took off too early) and his front hooves hit the hurdle half way up.

    1.20 The New Lion win, Sixmilebridge each way
    2.00 Ballyburn should win this easily
    2.40 Impose Toi, then Ballyadam always a tempter, same with Sa Fureur
    3.20 Galvin and Vanillier (Peanuts my barometer)
    4.00 This should just be Jonbon winning but I’d have an e/w on Found A Fifty for an interest
    4.40 So Scottish, Dancing On My Own
    5.20 Idaho Sun

    Superb Turners 1.20 race and despite Yellow clay, my tip getting beaten on the run in, I love horse Racing as a sport so I'm not really bothered. 🤦🏻‍♂️

    That's torn it. Apologies in advance @PaddyP17
    Cracking win in the first - nice one.

    We might see all of the front three win in festivals to come given that they will probably be contesting different races

    Bally burn looked down on that 1st circuit more than Ange Postecoglou!
    How can a horse run like a Donkey yet be 1/2 favourite?

    He never recovered from that big blunder and didn't look right afterwards - running with his head down so he may have jarred something.

    Just 386 left after 2 races on ITV 7; 380k started.

    I was talked out of backing Lecky Watson as he was Willie Mullins 4th string in the race 🤷🏻‍♂️

    My thoughts exactly, so had money on Stellar Story as well. I didn't back Ballyburn at all.

    Vanillier 3rd but I think I'll cash out for GN...

    What a win with the saddle slipped by Stumptown.
    In the circs, a very pleasing and promising run from Vanillier (cut to 20-25 for the GN).
    Presumably pilot error on the first circuit.

    Edit - clearly pilot error.

    Sean Flanagan on Vanillier needs to get a new SATNAV after going the wrong way on the cross country race. 
    Keith Donohue is the King of the cross country at Cheltenham with his 5th win on the CC course with Stumptown.

    Starter again with two false starts for a 3m6 XC race. 
    Must be 4/5 already this year? At least three I couldn’t see any problems.
    Bloke tries to make it about him every year ffs

    37.5 secs slow of standard!
    That ground on the XC course is much, much slower than Good to Soft.

    Vanillier 16s with Bet365 for the GN.
    But will he make the cut?
