BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra at CheltenhamWe've had a drying day, the sun has been in and out, and the conditions have come right for Wonderwall.
Rob James will be a well known figure in Irish racing, amateur by name only. He is a master in the saddle, in this no pressure type of situation we have seen all week for horses at the big prices.

Joe Gibney: Now imagine inothewayurthinkin over an extra mile. Already the Grand National favourite before today, the others may not see which way he goes. The mighty Galopin Des Champs loses nothing in defeat, another fine run.
Inothewayurthinkin is now as short as 3-1 for the Grand National - which is just 22 days away.

BBC Radio 5 LiveGavin Cromwell, trainer of Inothewayurthinkin, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "It's unbelievable. It's probably going to take a while to sink in, I'm absolutely thrilled. On the better ground, it looked to be flat out. Jumped well on the whole. They went really hard and I knew that would help us.
"He's an improving horse. He improved through the season last season and he's been fantastic."

Galopin Des Champs' jockey Paul Townend on ITV Racing: "Everything seemed to be an effort. But he has run a blinder and finished second. It is disappointing but he gave people something to shout about for a while.
"Initially, I was wondering was the ground too lively, but he wasn’t good enough on the day."

Like me, if any of you love The Lord of the Rings then Mordor is running in the next race.
Wonder if Sauron's the jockey?

Shearer continues to lead the way and is going strongly. Bardenstown Lad in second will also fancy his chances with six fences to go.
