    Supposedly there is a case in Nothern Ireland and the person passed through Dublin. If there is talk about closing borders etc then I think it will be a strong possibility that it will be cancelled cause if they stop the irish coming over then that would be a major factor.

    Think meeting would only be in doubt if a significant number of deaths due to the virus occur in this country or Ireland

    1st case in Gloustershire this weekend and a couple more in Ireland. I still think it will get called off.

    Just in case it doesn't i've had my first bet, a small punt on this treble..

    Solo(Triumph Hurdle) Shishkin(Supreme Novice Hurdle) & Benie Des Dieux(Mares Hurdle) All To Win @ 33/1

    Looks like today is the day we will find out if the Cheltenham Festival will go ahead and if football matches are going to have to be cancelled or played behind “closed doors”. Big Boris is meeting his posse to decide the UK’s next move in the battle against CV

    That betfair market has been fascinating either way. Whoever decide to run it is a genius.

    Scenes no matter what the result. Loudest roar ever or the end of the world is nigh.

    Or there is always the halfway house "run it behind closed doors" option :lol

    Cheltenham Gold Cup - MONALEE at 25's. Certainly a lively outsider and for me should be in the 10's - 14's range

    Supreme Novices - Gone with 2 in the festival opener, in the shape of ALLART at 20's and SOVIET PIMPERNEL at 33's. Both have a fair bit to find officially, but both capable of running nice races. At the other end of the market, I do like Asterion Forlonge over Shishkin.

    Ultima Chase - VIVAS - Could do with it drying out a bit, but does hold some fair course form at 66's.

    Champion Bumper - ISREAL CHAMP - Looks a decent galloping type and whilst could get done for speed, certainly looks a tough sort at 9's.
