We have had a big - and late move - for Long Strand in the Championship Bumper at Cheltenham. Charlie Swan's charge began the day at 66/1, was cut to 40s but continued to be backed. He is now 25s and we are laying that price too.

On a busy day of Festival trading the major early cash was for The Nightingale in the Ballymore Properties Novices' Hurdle. Paul Nicholls is on record as saying he expects his charge to "finish in the first six" and he is now 10/1 from 16s. We initially went 12/1 but were forced to cut him again after more money.

The Coral Cup gamble on Aigle D'or continues and he is 5/1 from 6s while Ambobo is 20s from 25s for the same race.

The David Nicholson Mares Hurdle is proving a warm heat. Whiteoak remains the 5/2 favourite but her place as market leader is now under threat from Quevega. Willie Mullins' charge is 3/1 from 7/2.

Big Eared Fran is 10/1 from 14s to win the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle for the Pond House team while the Kim Muir continues to attract punters.

Flintoff is 16s from 20s for that race and Noir Et Vert 14s from 20s.

Finally we are betting on which race at the meeting will have the largest winning distance. The Seasons Holidays Queen Mother Champion Chase is the one for cash and is now 7/2 from 9/2.
