As most of you are aware, I usually try to put up the entries and weights for the Cheltenham Festival races as and when they are released. I’ve just received an email which outlines the schedule for these releases, so thought I’d let you know when you can expect them. When the entries are up for particular race the the appropriate race will be highlighted and you will be able to go directly to the details by clicking the race name.

And so the madness and excitement begins today...!!! Wednesday, January 9 Entries: Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup
Embargo is lifted! I'm about to post a separate thread, but they have finally got with the times and put the press releases online - you can see the Gold Cup entries release HERE
I had to try very hard not to take tha bait Ron! As an aside, is it worth making this thread a Sticky?
Novice Chase entries going up shortly, bear with me as there is quite a lot to copy! Update at 12.40 - all Novices Chase entries now up. See links in the top of this thread.
