Check the Cheltenham press release which will be issued later this morning.

The RP website will be updated from about 11am onwards but it’s a slow process - no idea why it takes them so long to load the data.

For those that can't wait for the weights (and entries for bumper, X country etc) to be loaded on the official sites @festivalracing on twitter has posted them

Do the handicap weights mean as much now as they did in the past when the fields are often closely weighted.  Naive or otherwise I simply take a view that it is harder to find a well handicapped British horse.  That said, I was wandering past the winning post when the Imperial Alcazar won at Warwick a few weeks back and thought ooh that won like it had a few more pounds up Paddy's sleeves.
