THE ‘will they, won’t they’, who runs where, in the championship races is one of the most annoying things about the Cheltenham Festival. Lossiemouth, Gaelic Warrior, Fact To File are the main culprits. Yes, you can back all of them NRNB but they will determine the shape of their respective races.

It might be time to try add a bit force to these decisions as in the Breeders’ Cup where you have to nominate a first preference option for your entry.
