With the jumps season just about to come alive I thought it about time to start the annual Cheltenham build up thread.

Just watched Thistlecrack make a very decent start over fences winning easily on the bridle at Chepstow. Third Intention won the Old Roan on Saturday past whilst Sire De Grugy flopped in the same race. Cue Card and Coneygree could both be seen in the Charlie Hall on Saturday coming.
