Cheltenham Trials Day.

Right, I am back properly (I bet no-one has noticed I've been gone :highly_amused:)

What an absolutely incredible card this is. I can't remember being this excited about a Saturday card in a long long time. (Sunday not bad too)

Thistlecrack is surely a no bet tomorrow... If he impresses against Smad (Who I love) and Many Clouds he is going to be elavated to almost superstardom even before he gets the job done in March! I cannot see ANY point in backing him, but what an absolute treat this is going to be!

Looks like being a MASSIVE day for JP ... Charli Parcs, Cantlow, UNWIMH, Drumcliff all favs and a lot of other chances. **The makings of a nice yankee there** Can't wait to get stuck in to all of these races a bit later on tonight...

Welcome back mate. He also has Defi against CP (unless anyones convinced 1 will be pulled) so hes likely to have the 1-2 in the first
 
Good to see you back Kev
Chuck in Donny and it's the best days racing outside of festival I can remember for a while....
 
Haha you're all too kind.

Donny looks a great card in its own right too absolutely.
