    That obnoxious prat Mark 'The Couch' Winstanley seems to pop up all over the place during them. A despicable human being and hearing some of his bets last year he's not one to listen much to either. Paul Nicholls was wanting to chin him last year at a Betfair one I watched on YouTube!

    Bob, that attachment isn't showing. Normally I can correct it by just going into "Go Advanced" and re-saving but it hasn't worked this time and the link comes up as invalid. What was it?

    Although i doubt the connections give much away, i do really enjoy these. If people can post any transcripts they find of the evenings they should be added to. Anyone know if betfair are doing that online one again? That was great viewing last year!!!

    The one thing that makes me smile about him last year is by the sound of it, he lost more than the Irish public combined on Pont Alexandre! I think his phrase was his family would go hungry if he was beat, however, by the look of him his promise must have excluded himself!

    I'm going to Wetherby Racecourse on the Monday before the festival, and then to the one at the home of football Elland Road on the Wednesday, will report back any thing I think people might be interested in

    Most of the preview evenings are summarised in this thread on the FAT Jockey Forum

    I have had a look through them all so far and obviously some of the information can be very biased(all the Irish back the Irish etc) but there is definitely a few hidden gems in there.

    Of the back of my head ill be keeping an eye out for :

    Lac Fontana - County Hurdle
    Captain Conan - QMCC
    Silver Concorde - Bumper

    That's fine tward. It's usually better to post the link to the original article. Sometimes the original gets removed making the link invalid but I doubt this one will be disappearing before the Festival. For longevity it might be necessary to copy it, as long as it is credited to the originator. I'll just put the link under the referral though.
