    Ista would you mind posting up your thoughts on here after you've walked it anyway…just I think that would actually be really useful?

      Can't see anything obvious on the Cheltenham website but there's plenty of reference to 10.30am gates opening so you appear to be right FM, my 9.30am cab from Stow will leave me scratching my back side outside the gates for a while then !

      Seriously, cross the course as soon as you get there, stop to take a look at the turf, if you're in a large group split up into pairs, then drift away from each other, there are plenty of jockeys, owners, trainers etc all out on the course at that time so you should be able to blend in and then sneak a circuit in.
      An experience well worth doing.....

        Yep will do.
        If I haven't drunk my body weight in red wine by lunch time I'll post what B Geraghty said, that'll be about an hour before racing

          There'll be a couple of pubs within walking distance - although it's an early start!
