    Agreed, football isn't relevant until circa 6pm Friday.

    Love Cheltenham, the highlight of the racing calendar. Beats dreary football hands down for entertainment.

    Today, I can't see beyond Constitution Hill in the CH. It's a race I will watch purely as a spectacle.

    In the Ultima, I've had a couple of shillings on Happygolucky, around 16s, 2nd in this race two years ago before hacking up at Aintree. Last season was curtailed by injury. Ran 3rd on return behind L'Homme Presse.

    Good luck to any of you good folk backing a few shillings today but remember, gamble responsibly.

    Constitution Hill, wow what a horse.

    Happy retirement to Honeysuckle who signed off with a win.

    Great first day viewing

    Paul Townend rode a sublime race, nicely covered, on El Fabiolo. So impressed with the turn of pace and nice scope.

    As for Constitution Hill. Absolutely insane animal and Nicole rode patiently, with so much in hand. The video of Nicky Henderson summises what racing is about...

    Langer Dan put a few schillings into the satchel. Nice of the Skeltons to be so kind at 11s...

    Highlight for me today was seeing the old warrior Sire Du Berlais winning at the festival again. Nice odds of 33/1

    Paul Townend gave a brilliantly smooth polished ride on Galopin Des Champs in the Gold Cup, class horse for sure
