Forget price and field size - when you're watching a superstar just sit back and enjoy

We've reached a time when it's almost not nonsensical to be obsessing over the Cheltenham Festival as though nothing else in the interim is worth talking about. 

We have some idea of the make-up of the fields, the upcoming 'trials' meetings begin to look like cup semi-finals, and we're in the business of deciding what kind of races we'd like to see. Even that, though, is far from simple.

I'm hoping that everybody else is as chuffed as I am that Constitution Hill looks like making it to the gig; that (much as I'm delighted to see Brighterdaysahead mounting a feasible challenge for the Irish) he's ready to serve us up an exhibition.
