Day Two Yankee;

Stumptown - Cross Country
Relieved of Duties - Grand Annual
Mourne Rambler - Bumper
Day Three Yankee;
SIXMILEBRIDGE: (Jack Richards) 9-1 with 365, Lads, BFred, Victor, MGM
He's a slick jumping trail-blazer who's been in terrific fettle this season. He's got course form and can give Fergal his first taste of Festival glory.
BOB OLINGER: (Stayers' Hurdle) 6-1 all round
A fat jockey legend bidding for his fourth Festival win at the age of 11. Unbeaten at Cheltenham - he knows how to get the job and another win for Bob would no doubt bring tears to the eye of many a FJ.
SUPREMELY WEST: (Pertemps): 9-2 Lads, 4-1 all round
Dan's been plotting this race all season and he's certainly weighted to win off 135.
JERIKO DU REPONET (Kim Muir): 4-1 all round
Second in the Pertemps last year, proven on decent ground and likely to have Derek O'Connor on board which will help offset has big weight.
Day Four Yankee;
County - Murcia - Has looked the obvious pick for a few weeks, hopefully Paul rides.
Triumph - Selma De Vary - Highest rated left in the race, eye catching run on her first start for Willie, should come on a bundle for that.
Mares Chase - Dinoblue - Class horse in the race, had a lovely prep away from the hustle n bustle of the big races to get her spot on for this, whats not to like.
Gold Cup - The Jukebox Man - Improving with every run, to come back from injury and look as good as he has winning a strong King George on only his 4th start over fences makes me think he is a special horse.
549/1 Antepost 365 or 432/1 Hills NRNB.
