    Who are out top tipsters?

    I have no idea about racing except looking at the form, distance they normally run and how they do on different grounds, oh and if they are Irish which seems to be a bonus at Cheltenham.

    First race, at 1.30 I've gone for Slade Steel.

    Any more tips ?

    A Win to start, at 4-1 £20 banked ( its in an accumulator )

    Next up the 2.10 - Found a fifty at 15/2 (e/w though)

    2nd is better than nowhere, has keep the accumulator going, but three weeks in the Seychelles has just been replaced with 3 days in Skegness.

    On to Irish Point in the 3.30

    Overhyped w*nkfest. Sorry, needed to be said.

    But if you're still reading, in the Mares Novice Hurdle tomorrow, (16.50), Dysart Enos has been tipped to me by someone who "knows his sh*t about the nags.

    Going on Friday, after a first visit last year (future son in law day before the wedding). I have to say I think it’s enjoyable day out.

    As for tips, anyone know the best way to drive yourself out of the mud in the car park?

    get the train. So much easier then getting stuck in long queues in and out of Cheltenham.

    Probably why he was pulled. To give the others a chance and avoid the bookies taking a bath ;).

    so for today i'm wasting my money on Stage Star

    there haven't been many outsiders yet, so the bookies seem to be taking a hammering.

    I don't have any heads ups but the 3:30 race today has got a couple of horses worth looking at:

    Flooring Porter 10/1, this horse has won at this distance with similar turf conditions at Cheltenham before, the last time was in October although that was a grade 2 race.

    For a cheeky £1 E/W, Janidil 60/1, placed in grade 1 races in it's last two outings. Trainer WP Mullins has trained 6 winners from 26 this season.
