Thanks for another great run Cheltenham Festival comp, so sorry I pulled up without notice on the home straight, I'm running a Cheltenham pub and didn't close the doors until 7am, and opened again at 9am. FISO unfortunately slipped my Jack Daniels infused mind.

..and that's some performance from Ashers, stretching away from the whole field to win by a comfortable 6 lengths from the always prominent Surprised, who ran the race of his life.Spencer4 wrote:And it's over the next and a fine jump from Surprised takes a length out of Ashers' lead...
Sad to report the falls of Hotpot and 2010 winner RiverChelt, also pulled up is last year's 3rd Ronny10...
The two leaders are really upping the pace here, Surprised taking another 2 lengths out of Ashers' lead. There's now a 5 length gap back to Owenclass who's alone in third...
No change over the next as they get to the top of the course...
Ashers was saving something and coming down the hill he picks up speed to take back the three lengths he's given up to Surprised. Is this race over?
Into the final stages, just one to jump then the long run-in. Can Ashers be caught ?
...and he answers our questions with a flying jump over the last, 7 lengths clear and only a miracle will stop Ashers taking this now...
Behind, Suprised has nothing more to give, but seems safe in second as Striker is 6 lengths behind fighting out the minor places with Moist, GM and Golden Bear...
Ashers' performance was just 3 points off the course record set last year by Nevblake.
Taking third place was Striker, 5 lengths behind Surprised. If only he'd paced the race better...
The 100/1 shot Owenclass put all previous form behind him to come 4th.
Those four were well clear of a chasing group led by GM and the fast finishing blahblah...
At the back, Knulpuk put 4 lengths between himself and Stevejtr who takes the wooden spoon...
...and what a terrible performance from Spencer4
Many many thanks for taking part and keeping within the tough format. Ashers wins a £25 free bet, drop me a PM any time matey.
Until next year friends...

Great competition and Cheltenham would not be the same without it so thanks to Spencer4 for running it.
Brilliant performance for Ashers and he is a very deserved winner.
