Yes, its finally here. I'm going to be posting some Cheltenham racing tips, thoughts and views all this week as we gear up for perhaps the most eagerly awaited Festival for many a year.
The weather could be all important today and so this will most definitely have an affect on who we look to for today, although there is one horse that we're tracking regardless of the weather conditions...
Binocular.
He runs in the 3.20, the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle (to give it its full title!). Binocular is an efficient jumper, which is one of the reasons I like him for Cheltenham, because if you cannot jump well then Cheltenham will find you out!
The chief threat appears to come from Osana, who has previous Champion Hurdle form and experience, and has the stamina to go round Prestbury Park well.
But I think that Binocular can do it. He is stronger than last year when he performed admirably and so this year he will know what to expect.
The only downside for me is that Binocular is currently listed as favourite, and as low as 7/4 with some bookies. I would be looking for him to drift in price, as one thing that you need to have from your Cheltenham racing tips, as with all racing tips, is value. That as you may know, is my mantra.
So I'll be glued to the prices this morning looking for any drifting in price for Binocular. Anything in the 5/2 range ought to be good enough to snap up, so stay tuned and enjoy the first day of the Cheltenham Festival.
