    Will the betting shops be open ? I have online account anyway but like going into the shop when Cheltenham on

    Depends on what kind of easing they announce the beginning of march. I'd have thought no personally, that they'll not be open until April at the earliest

    I doubt it.

    The curtain twitchers would go nuts for starters. The gov have enough hassle without creating new problems.

    There will be enough guff from the anti racing brigade about Irish horses travelling.

    Jus be greatful they are travelling. I had my doubts about 4 weeks ago. It would have been a sham festival

    Not sure whether to back Abacadabras now for CH or wait until he runs at the weekend. Don't know if his horses have hit form yet, but if he wins his price will half

    Big time. He was my early fancy. He cruised around Cheltenham last year as good as any horse you'll see.

    Can't find any comments from trainer. I fancy him to run well this weekend, tempted to have a pop beforehand.

    Confession
    I am going to break lockdown!

    My auld fella will shnake me in the back door of his gaff (he lives alone)
    Stock the fridge with guinness
    Big pot of stew in the slow cooker
    PP Acc topped up and we are good to go!

    He doesn't have an online so he will give me £50 and i will do his bets for the week. He doesn't play big, he jus loves the craic :)
    Classic auld lad, he backs ONLY WPM horses and the odd horse with a funny name that gives him a giggle, like "The Big Dog" or "Dasmyhoss" :)

    I'll be doing something similar with my old man. I'll get him up for a few beers and do his bets for him.

    What do people here generally budget for cheltie. I have 70 already in AP bets and will have 500 for the 4 days. i have 410 in the pot already from bets won from football and leopardstown since xmas. If i can come out after 4 days with a slight profit i'll be happy.

    Last three years have been down minimu 50% of budget

    Usually about 90k and generally come away with double that in profit.
