No doubt at all. Whilst the owners and trainers in National Hunt have a country toff about them, I do believe the sport's heart was in working class people enjoying a day out. The jump in ticket pricing the past few years has been obscene.

I do wonder when things like football and music concerts might have to undergo the same pensive reflection.

I've a few friends from the club that go every year, they start up their Cheltenham fund when they come back and head over.. Haven't seen any social media photos so far, so maybe the costs have gotten too much for them..

Though I've another friend who's retired has been over for the full week, with his missus (her first time), and strangely an ex gambler and ex horse owner, but still loves the sport, that nearly wrecked his life!

Bet responsibly  ;)

Any tips for the day?
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Heard from a friend who knows owner of Hello neighbour and they are sweet on his chances. My own fancy for today is intense approach 3.20 ew. But what i know about this game you could write on a postage stamp
Good luck whatever anyone does today
