THANK heavens it’s only four days. Not many of us could face a fifth. Even the good Lord himself might have needed rest by the time he got to Saturday, had he been on this rollercoaster Cheltenham ride, such was the whirlwind of emotions brought to the surface this week.

Tuesday was muted in the aftermath of too many fallers, including reigning champions Buveur D’Air and Benie Des Dieux and a National Hunt Chase that left a bad taste into Wednesday morning.
