Last day at work, off next week, so I've turned off all interest at work and tuned in to all things Cheltenham now... Which got me thinking of what could or what if...??

What if Benie De Diuex gets turned over, meaning many accy's go down on day one...??
If Faugheen wins, well...???
Is the Altior, Defi & CPS going to be the highlight of day 2 and the whole festival...??
Can Tiger Roll back up his X-Country legend status...??
Will the Ryanair be any good...??
Is Champ going to be a Chump as ALL of the Previews I've watched suggest...??
What the hell will we make of the Gold Cup before and after the race...??
Is Santini the new plodder, can Al Boum Photo will b-2-b Gold Cups, will Bristol De Mai place to make them all look like second rate chasers...??

All these and many more questions to be answered when we tune in to the greatest four days of equine excellence next week...!!!

BRING IT ON...!!!

First and second day Good to Soft or Soft or Soft to Heavy?

Third and fourth day Good to Soft?
 
Will some of the novice hurdlers put in awesome displays or are they being over hyped? Will Shishkin and Solo destroy their respective fields?

Will be interesting to see? How many plots have been hatched and turn out to be well planned in the Pertemps?

Will a pint of Carling top £6?

6.60 is my guess

Basically get a good 4 or 5 pints in before getting to the course. Most bars in Cheltenham inflate their prices just for the 4 days to £5 a pint except Wetherspoons who hold their prices.

Any other towns or villages outside Cheltenham you 'll pay standard price. :emoticon-0148-yes:

Will the Ivy Grower have a treble on day 1? 2 favs and a live outsider in the 4 miler (though the Coddfather has been commandered by Elliott for Ravenhill). Will SBC ever get over it if he does?

So you do I remember...you must be at fever pitch levels! :emoticon-0148-yes:.

Good luck with it..hope he runs well. Have you had any word on how well he is doing since his last run outside the usual flannel quotes from Nicky H?

Last word was that he is in great order and it's all systems go.

My dilemma is this - last year when he won all his starts I was unable to watch the races live and viewed recordings. This year I've watched live on TV but he has been beaten.
