Yesterday, for me, was a nothing day. But I did back Masterminded, so all us faithful failures who followed performances from last year and the year before, assuming he couldn't fail considering his wins from times gone by, we can celebrate our stupidity together. Hurrah!

Today. Big Bucks for me in the 3:20 Ladbrokes World Hurdle. About 4/6 right now is tight considering the favourites that have been knocked aside, but this horse has class stamped all over it, not just on previous Cheltenham showings, this season also. And he performs here, beating the much fancied Punchestowns at the festival in 2009. Top horse, could dominate for years to come.
