Most of the horses have arrived over at Cheltenham now and there were no issues with them. We have three more due over this afternoon and then we'll have the entire team here.

All seems to well with them, thank God, so we're really looking forward to getting them out on the track. We don't have any runners this afternoon but tomorrow and the rest of the week will be busy and if we could get a couple of winners that would be brilliant.

I haven't had a chance to finalise all riding arrangements so far but Paul Carberry will ride Shadow Catcher in the Triumph Hurdle and Mount Benbulben in the Albert Bartlett, both on Friday.

Davy Russell will be on Carlito Brigante, who, as I said last week, runs in the Coral Cup, while Keith Donoghue is going to be on Toner D'Oudairies in the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys' race.

I see Boston Bob will be running in the Albert Bartlett on Friday, meaning we'll have a rematch of the Navan race in which he finished in front of Mount Benbulben. You can't avoid them. It's Cheltenham after all and you have to take on the best and, as you'd expect at this level, we have more than just him to worry about.

All I know is that our fella is in great form, I couldn't be happier with him and we'll just have to see what happens on Friday. It's all going to plan so far with the horses, so hopefully we'll have a good week.
