Horse I'm really looking forward to called Simonsig (hosed up in the p2p bumper at Fairyhouse) makes his hurdling debut tomorrow for Henderson at Ascot.

Nothing race but he looks like a horse with a serious engine.

Real chaser in the making. Whatever he does over hurdles is a bonus.

Right lads Im interested in anyone that was over at Cheltenham last week or ever before, im organising a stag for the bro and I think we want the open meeting at PP next year.

Has anyone been on these before?

Does anyone know the best agent/hotel/bnb to go through?

All thoughts and opinions are welcome!

We went to the January meeting for my stag (6 years ago!).

We stayed in Bristol and got the train up and down. This was dead handy; they've got busses running on a loop all day from the course to the train station. Train tickets were cheap too as it was off peak times.

Bristol was a good city for nightlife, there's everything in it and quite a few stag-friendly bars and clubs. Good sized city and fairly friendly locals who weren't as used to the Irish as some cities. There were heaps of flights out of Belfast to Bristol at the time too. It's quite a handy run from Cardiff too if Bristol flights are busy.

Have been hearing a few very positive bulletins about Midnight Game (O'Leary/Mullins) who goes in the maiden hurdle at Punchestown tomorrow. Similarish profile on the flat to Hurricane Fly and fetched big money as a yearling.

Looking forward to Oscar Whiskey at Ascot. I think he's a horse who will have a very good season. He shapes like a two and a half mile plus horse and his only two lifetime defeats were when fourth in the Supreme Novices and third in the Champion Hurdle. Very surprised he's not odds on considering the number of winners Henderson banged in today.

John Ferguson's (flagged him up a few weeks ago as a trainer to follow) horse in the bumper is one to keep an eye on going on his first run. It was a falsely run race but the way he just clicked through the gears was seriously impressive.

Great performance by Kauto Star, wonder is it a final kick or could he push on from this? Long Run had a decent enough run in behind!
