1655 So we"re down to day 4 and Gold Cup day. It"s all about dual horses on Friday in the Gold Cup, but can Cooldine or Imperial Commander spoil a competition that most hold will be etched in racing folklore? Join me from 12pm tomorrow for all the build-up. And don"t dont think about Betfair"s Chleltenham suggest of a free �25 bet.

1635 It"s right afar raining at Cheltenham and Channel 4 have finished their coverage. It"s over to Racing UK for the last race. Does any one need saving face? Marlborough"s tip could do with entrance in. He was second last year.
1615The Racing Post have got in on the action from this morning"s run-in on The Morning Line. Their stream check reads Would you similar to to see some-more of John McCririck on television? 63 per cent are observant a organisation "No".

1550 Time for a breather? Unlikely. There are some-more plots than your normal grassed area subsidy in the last dual races of the day. This is where it pays to be shrewd. That"s because I"m following Marlborough"s recommendation for the initial time today. Atouchbetweenacara looks a neat bet, too.
1530 The World Hurdle is all about staying hurdlers and, wow, Big Buck"s was simply overwhelming there. Ruby Walsh wins his 27th Cheltenham Festival winner. "The key is to have him uninformed and he is only very, really good isn"t he?" says tutor Paul Nicholls. More importantly, the punters have only let off a outrageous Prestbury Park bark for the initial time this week. Easy money.
Next competition 4pm Byrne Group Plate Handicap Steeple Chase 2m 5fMarlborough says Atouchbetweenacara is some-more in effect on shorter trips and won simply here in April.

1515"Have the big punters lost ther bottle?," asks John McCririck. One organisation has only taken �50,000 at evens on Big Buck"s. There"s been some-more income placed on this equine than the total of the Ryanair Chase. He has positively lived up to his name. With Buck"s being the greatest ante-post Festival favourite, do I follow hundreds of others and get on large? I have a second baby on the way...
1505 The big one up next. Why not take up Betfair"s suggest of a free �25 gamble for Cheltenham week whilst you"re at it?
1500 The Ladbrokes website is receiving an age to load. A pointer of the big income flooding in for the third big prime of the week? Big Buck"s - fortifying his pretension - has to land the World Hurdle if the punters are to be rewarded. And Ladbrokes are fresh themselves with a big pay-out after their confidant "if you behind him to win and he goes on to delight by some-more than five lengths, we will solve your gamble at evens."
Here"s McCoy on his second leader of the Festival, Alberta"s Run "Myself and Jonjo kind of asked Trevor if we could run him in the Ryanair instead of the Gold Cup as we thought he had a good possibility and Trevor, being the man he is, was all on for it. I"m gay for him and I goal his feet is bruise from jumping up and down!"
1450"The suffering starting point was tested to the limit," says AP McCoy. That"s a hold up manoeuvre for you. After a initial competition fall, McCoy runs the pefect competition on past-Cheltenham leader Alberta"s Run. Looked in difficulty at the tip of the mountain but took up the using and the rest - together with Paul Nicholls"s Poqueline - were left trailing. There"s a steward"s enquiry but it won"t be inspiring me.
Next competition 3.20pm Ladbrokes World Hurdle 3mMarlborough says Big Buck"s can"t go wrong
RESULT Ryanair Chase 2m 5f
1. Alberta"s Run 14-1 2. Poqueline 11-4 F 3. J"Y Vole 28-1
1425 All sunrise I have been on an email sequence with racing friends on this Ryanair race. We contingency have overwhelmed each equine on the card. AP on Alberta"a Run "looks juicy each-way" and "you can"t boot Voy Por Ustedes". "Barker"s the one for me". "Lot"s of speak for Tranquil Sea..." etc etc. If the initial dual races have been one-way traffic, this is as well close to call.
Meanwhile winning tutor David Pipe pronounced of Buena Vista "This is good for the late for the late Jean Broadhurst. It"s fantastic. She"ll be seeking down from up there. Had she been there I would have had twenty smothers and lipstick all over me."
1420 Okay, third time lucky. For me this competition looks similar to being the competition of the day. �1.5 million has been traded. And that includes a little late stately income on Barber"s Shop. 5-1 right afar for the Queen"s raider.
1415 Now that was definitely convincing. Buena Vista, in his sixth Festival and second last year, runs a blinder. "He"s regularly left close," says triumphant manoeuvre Hadden Frost. "You outlay your total childheart meditative about this." In the winner"s enclosure, David and Martin Pipe are feeling the emotions. No fitness for Marlborough again as AP McCoy and Ainama run out of steam.
Next competition 240 Ryanair Chase 2m 5fMarlborough says Barker has taken the simpler choice over the Queen Mother. And it could compensate dividends where outing and belligerent are perfect.

1405 The Irish are gunning for Smoking Aces as the second competition looms. No pointer of my mother-in-law yet.
1350 Winning manoeuvre Richard Johnson pronounced "He ran well here last year (fourth in the Supreme) and I regularly felt on that form he had a good possibility today. The tongue-tie helped and I think the additional outing has additionally helped."
1345 "AP" took a decrease there and walks afar gingerly. Hey Big Spender was travelling well until unseating Joe Tizzard. All in all, not a good begin to my overdraft problems. But I"m told that the Queen, who owns Barber"s Shop, is not at Cheltenham so my intoxicating beverage are lifted. A sip of Channel 4 and Sport live afterwards at the Palace?
Meanwhile Paul Kelso, the arch sports reporter, on Twitter "Ladies day at #cheltfest. Seems to be formula for "wear utterly inapt clothes".

1305 Read AP McCoy and how he wants to spin his day dual seconditis in to a flurry of wins. Meanwhile Willie Amos is anticipating to knock out Ladbroke World Hurdle on Lie Forrit. And you"ll still be celebration of the mass "AP" not "Tony" on your racecards in the future.
And only to show you waht it equates to to a little owners... The BBC"s @CorneliusRacing writes "Paul Stewart of family that owns of Big Bucks tells 5Live hands were jolt whilst eating bacon sarnie for breakfast with nerves."
12.30pm Good afternoon and a excellent St Patrick"s Day hangover to you. Wait, arise up chaps! It"s Ladies Day at the Cheltenham Festival where my glamorous mother-in-law will additionally be in assemblage (Prestbury Park trade will no disbelief be at a practical delay right afar I"ve suggested that).
On the course, Dunguib and Master Minded have fluffed their lines so right afar it"s up to Big Buck"s to keep favourite-backers in the diversion at 320 in the big race. But there are appealing sub-plots to be found via the day. And it"s expected to get romantic if a little old favourites similar to Old Vic and Voy Por Ustedes can find the status quo up the hill.
Two days in moist Paris have additionally left me fervent to dive in to day three, too. Especially after waking up to John McCririck and Ted Walsh lambasting each alternative on Channel 4"s The Morning Line, the former criticised Brian O"Connell"s purpose in the better of Dunguib. Cracking stuff.
