I'm off to Cheltenham Festival for the first time this year, I'm doing the Tuesday-Champion Hurdle Day- and Wednesday- Queen Mother Chase/Ladies Day!
Anyway, I was wondering if any of you on here have been and if you could offer any decent advice on what to expect, anything I should know in advance and also where is best to head to after the day's racing has finished.
I am staying in Stroud- half hour away on the train from Cheltenham I am told- accommodation in Cheltenham was a fortune. We are in the Tattersalls stand for the two days of racing.
Finally, anyone got any strong opinions/antepost on any races? It doesn't have to be just for the two days I am going, I am interested in people's views for across the four days.
At the minute I am looking into backing Peddlers Cross for Champion Hurdle, Denman for Gold Cup, Big Zeb for Champion Chase and Medermit for the Arkle. I also like Wymott and Wishfull Thinking for the RSA with each way bets.
Thoughts?
