WE had a right touch on Tuesday but the final four favourites winning on Wednesday took away a lot of our profit and the pain continued in the first two races on Thursday.

I always try to keep on the right side of the McManus horses at Cheltenham but we couldn’t put punters off either Defi Du Seuil or Sire Du Berlais. We had two losers in the book on the first race – Defi Du Seuil and Lostintransaltion – and they were first and second.
