Totally agree and deserves its own thread. It's becoming a true Festival. For many of the horses in Championship races at Cheltenham, it's here or nowhere given how few opportunities there are in Ireland. Some more races close this week, so we'll know much more by the end of the week, Its coming up fast!
Looking at the big handicap at 3.40 I like the look of Byrnes horse Grozni at 10/1 with 365. Won last time out over 3m and with the 5lb claimer on board he’s carrying a featherweight.
Its a step up in class obviously but with each way 5 places I’ve taken a chance.

Yeah I like this … byrnes also has a good record in the handicaps since the inception of this festival
Liberty Dance is the rightful favourite in the Mares handicap hurdle but you've got to take her on at the price.
Risk Belle getting 12 pounds weight for age is pretty huge isn't it (I'm assuming that accounts for the 12 pounds extra difference between them then their handicap marks but happy to be corrected if I'm wrong)?
I'd be taking her on as well though. Shes been beaten pretty easily by the decent juveniles so far and may just not be that talented. Molly's Glory stands out to me.
She finished 13 and a half lengths behind Liberty Dance in December but made mistakes at the third and second last.
Half a length behind Belle the Lioness last time. Belle the Lioness finished 5 and half lengths behind Liberty Dance in Liberty Dances last race.
20 pounds difference between Molly's Glory and Liberty Dance now. In a wide open race, 20s each way will give me some interest.

Molly's Glory is interesting and the jockey looks like one to keep an eye on. Bet 365 are 25s, 6 places and BOG. I felt it would be rude not to. Thanks for highlighting her.
I was looking through the mares handicap hurdle at the drf today.
one at bigger odds of interest is De lady in red. Last seen in this race last year off 1lb higher, falling at the 5th when travelling well enough, looked like she slipped on landing, rather than a fall because she didn't hurdle nicely. she was 12/1 last year.
The form of the trainer this year appears to have gone up a level.
The jockey michael o'sullivan takes a further 5lb off so she runs off a mark of 116.
She's available with sky bet @ 33/1, 6 places.
It's interesting she hasn't run since last years race, I think connections may have felt unlucky last year, she really was travelling and hurdling well, it's a valuable race which i think she would have been targeted at since that day.
She's definitely worth a look.
Gaelic Warrior should be a good thing in the 2m handicap but there's enough negatives to look elsewhere.
Not sure I can let an Elliott horse ridden by Russell go off at over 50s on the exchange. Small win bet and possibly play the w/o market at 22s each way on The Tide Turns.
