In one now. Walking around hillsides for most of the day. Superb.

Yeah I love Edale, stayed in the pub at the bottom end by the car park, forget the name, beautiful place

If anyone fancies putting a summary of this preview evening up I’m sure it will be appreciated by everyone...

I have a lot of empathy for everyone here, and praise them for sharing their situations.

I felt I sailed through first lock down - my work have committed to no redundancies, and due to the income I bring in I avoided furlough. I'm a renter but have a lovely big garden. I was pretty lucky.

But then a month ago my dad found out, he's, well I struggle to say it. He has something serious and he's not likely to get better. He starts chemo on Monday and I can't even go to see him and it's killing me.

The work pressure is on and I've been getting ever loaded up and struggling to cope. Today I found out those people giving me work had asked my boss' permission, he'd said no, and they'd gotten me to do it anyway. I'm fairly senior so have a hefty notice period and it's been a struggle all day not to just jack it tbh, like I actually wrote my resignation and my wife had to talk me down.

Might delete this later as i could be identified from it, but today I'm in a mood to burn the world down

Feel your pain robith. Anger is good, good luck to you and everybody else in these dire times

Epatante probably retains champion hurdle. flinteur sacre is the real deal (probably means 3rd in supreme). They all like fusil raffles.

I think FO'B put up 'Liosduin Bhearna' as his one to follow this season, but may have misheard. Cheltenham twitter page says the preview us being uploaded tomorrow.

Don't know where to put this, so I'll put it here. It's a link to watch replays of races at Cheltenham (and the other Jockey CLub racecourses) 20 minutes after they finish.

Here as good as anywhere.....

Maybe in the National Hunt section for the specific meeting as it'll get lost at some point...but worth highlightng every now and again!

If you’ve not seen this interview with Altiors owner then it’s an interesting watch. I thought he was a big money purchase by wealthy owners but he wasn’t, a very lucky purchase and what a gamble by the owners.

They still raised him from 155 to 165?

They still raised him from 155 to 165?

Not sure what you're questioning ?

Handicapper will do similar.
Hard to do anything else.

It's simply if he can translate that into graded open company.
At face value - most would.
But some clearly don't take it at face value.

Just questioning the face value vs ??

probably because the 2nd place horse was so lowly rated they left TBO as he was, the 3rd was rated higher than him though.
