This week. Biggest event of the British jump season. The best horses over the best course for jumpers in the country. Between Teusday and Friday more than a hundred thousand (most of those are our Irish bretheren) will descend on Gloucestershire for this annual racing and betting frenzy. Some big races including the Champion Hurdle, The Queen Mother Champion Chase, and last but defo not least, The Cheltenham Gold Cup. All the season's talk has featured on two horses in this last race: Kauto Star ,ridden by Ruby Walsh and Denman, ridden by Tony McCoy (McCoy last year notched up his 3000th win). I personally think Kauto Star will win it, because the conditions are perfect for him. But in jump racing you never can tell, and I certainly can't because I'm a much bigger enthusiast for flat racing. All racing throughout the week will be covered on CH4. That is all.

The odds are way too short for it to be worth a bet on the two favorites, so you'd be better going with an each way on one of the other runners. I personally like one called Tricky Trickster thats in that race. It's trained by Paul Nicholls who also trains the two favorites, and is ridden by Barry Geraghty.

Binocular. Kin'ell, great finish from Tony McCoy, there was none of the others to touch it. Great race.

Foo got second.

Happy St. Patricks Day to one and all!

Through the bad influence of FooFoo, I've been looking at todays runners and riders. Some big fields today, so only looked at the 2.40 and the 3.20.

I'll go with:

2.40 Citizen Vic ridden by Ruby Walsh. 12-1 Each Way.

3.20 Forpadydeplasterer ridden by Tony McCoy. 10-1 Each Way.
