    Gordon's usually tend to go tomorrow from memory, arriving Sunday morning. His X feed normally has a video of the first batch moving out of his base in Meath. Quite the fanfare. Haven't seen it yet. No doubt the video will be up sometime tomorrow

    Away from all the which horse is going where continuous stories, I see that the Paddy power advert from a few years back is being aired again. The one where Peter Cruch and others are facing off against Colm Meaney. Has anyone noticed that after the first year it was shown, 2023 I think, Jane...

    David Casey as well. Very positive. The horse's good health must be ringing around all the previews.

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    For some potential superstar he's some price on Betfair for both races. Any chance the world's greatest hurdler that hasn't won a graded race yet, might actually even not turn up?

    I know that very well. Just wondering whether he plays a similar role to JP's Frank Berry.

    'Talk the talk - trainer wants to run in supreme owners prefer Turners' That's an interesting one. Joseph prefers the Supreme, whereas Anthony Bromley, the Turners. If that's the case it will be interesting where he goes and how much sway Bromley has. Always got the impression with that outfit...

    2026 Gold Cup

    “If a different owner owned him, that talk would be very strong. If it was my one chance for a Gold Cup (it might be different), but you’ve got to take into account JP’s situation." At least it's a recognition that if you're training for JP, who has horses across so many yards, you have to...

    Last two comments sum it up well. Really think we're beyond peak interest in preview nights now. Reckon that's becoming obvious with the panellists as well. Fair play to any of you still sticking with them.

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    I think we perversely need something to get us going, and this year to fill the post Constitution Hll days before it all starts. Step forward Mighty Park. Funny it's either Henderson or Mullins. Always . It's just the horses that change. There should be a therapist on hand now to help us...

    That'll be like a religious experience for ITV for all of us watching from home. They'll be insufferable. Time for my pre race comfort break.

    2026 Gold Cup

    Recency bias. The two GB horses at the top of the market are serious challengers.

    Tbh I've found most of the previews like that. Which was why I stopped watching them 2 years back. They're probably handy enough for casuals who only get into their Cheltenham fix from around the end of February, but for the rest of us?

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    Has anyone noticed how we all forget these stories 'he's going here' 'she's going there' comments once we get to the race, and then beyond. Call me a conspiracy theorist but I think the Mullins yard get great entertainment year on year over this.

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    Mighty Park is providing some much needed post Constitution Hill entertainment. Presumably now we'll move onto Fact to File and Gaelic Warrior, or is that one all agreed, FtF to the RC, and GW to the GC?:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:. God forbid there's not another biggie that falls by the...

    'When there's money to be made in markets people will find a way. These moves over the last few days stink of groups looking to create arbitrage opportunities in illiquid markets' Well said. And when your target audience is also gullible X users, even more so now when the casual punter gets...

    2026 Ryanair Chase

    I forecast, if we're not already seeing it already, that passing the baton onto the next generation, doesn't actually mean a continuation of former glories. As for Gaelic Warrior, I wonder if PT now would prefer to ride him rather than what looks to be a regressing Galopin? I think also the...

    AI vs Cheltenham (Punter or Really a Plonker)

    Thanks @robith I for one will look forward to seeing how this turns out and we only have a little over a week before it all becomes obvious. We can all see then how accurate or not the summary is. The ground is saturated and Cheltenham may of course get away with it due to rising...
