Alan King is confident that 2008 Champion Hurdle winner Katchit has regained his racing form ahead of his title defence at the Cheltenham festival. The Champion Hurdle is the main showpiece race on the first day of the festival meeting on Tuesday, 10 March.
The six-year-old did not perform very well in his first three efforts of the season, but King seems to think that some of the old gusto is back ahead of March’s Festival.

Katchit has become something of a forgotten horse recently after a hugely disappointing start to the racing calendar this year. So demoralized was the trainer with the preformance of Katchit in his first three races of the season, he decided to send him away from the stable for a break.
Following his Cheltenham success, Katchit was overcome by Snap Tie at Kempton, Chomba Womba at Wincanton and then made little impact behind Champion Hurdle favourite Binocular in the Boylesports.com International.
But after spending a month with Richard Pitman, Katchit has returned to King’s Barbury Castle stable in Wiltshire in great shape and the trainer admits to being very pleased with him for the first time in months.
It remains to be seen whether Katchit can help the stable equal their success of three victories at Cheltenham last year, it remains to be seen as King concedes he has been "very impressed" by Binocular.
But he still harbours hopes that former Queen Mother Champion Chase winner Voy Por Ustedes can bring success in the Ryanair Chase on the Thursday of the festival and is upbeat about the chances of his novice hurdlers.
Regardless of what lies ahead, King has pointed out that Katchit could be raced over longer distances for the next season.

Every year when the race diary is released for a season, there are three dates that everybody heads straight for, one of them being the Grand National, secondly is the Derby and finally is the big one, the Cheltenham Festival. Millions of pounds are bet every year during Cheltenham week with the Gold Cup on the final day being the main race in the week. This week is an absolute dream for the bookmakers and this is why you see the ones who don’t advertise as much or as big really come out of the woodwork.
This advert is for William Hill and was taken from the Sun newspaper. The main focus on the advert is the fact they have picked three races from the day and listed the odds that they offering on every horse in those three races. They are also offering a fantastic welcome promotion where if you sign up and place a bet of £10 you will receive a free £10 but then after that, for every £10 bet you place they will reward you with another free £10, how good is that?! They also claim that they will offer you the best odds guaranteed which is a strong statement to make.

betus.com, as the title of the website clearly says, this is a website dedicated to betting on sports in the United States. The main thing they are currently promoting is a huge U.S event taking place on Sunday 15th February, and that is Daytona 500.
BET NOW
Below this we see three easy steps to sign up to the site, this is a great way to get new members because for people who are new to these sort of sites probably do think it is quite a long process signing up so BETUS put the potential new member at ease straight away by clearly stating that all you need to do is in their words “register now, fund your account, start winning”. Next to this we then have another eye catcher called Members Benefits, this is great because it’s all well and good signing up but what is it worth?
Well with BETUS you receive some fantastic benefits, at the moment they are a 50% sign up bonus, a free calendar and DVD and free sports magazines, this is a fantastic offer because if there is anything that people like it is free stuff!! One thing I have never seen on any other betting site is that you can have your very own personal account manager, well on BETUS you can, and to make things even better it is a freephone number.
I think this is a tremendous idea because you can contact your account manager to find out about any new offers or promotions that may be available for you to take advantage of.

Tony McCoy, 13-time champion jockey, finally reached his 3000th career jumps win at Plumpton aboard Restless D’Artaix with a narrow victory to the delight of his supporters and trainer Nicky Henderson, although breaking records is not something new for the jockey.
BET NOW
The 34-year-old Irishman has already become the all-time most successful jumps jockey in Britain when on 27 August 2002, he beat Richard Dunwoody’s total winners of 1,699 when riding on Mighty Montefalco at Uttoxeter. He has also beaten Sir Gordon Richards’ record tally of 269 winners in a season on the horse Valfonic at Warwick on April 2, 2002.
McCoy was born in County Antrim in 1974, he began his career on the Flat races and gained his first winner, Legal Steps, at Thurles in March 1992. His first jumps winner came with the horse Riszard, who was also his first National Hunt ride, at Gowran in April 1994. He then decided to link up with Toby Balding for the 1994-95 season and rode his first winner in England on Chickabiddy at Exeter on September 7, 1994.
He then went on to have a magnificent partnership with Martin Pipe, after eight years of working with Pipe they decided to part company and he was quickly appointed as a retained jockey for millionaire owner JP McManus in 2004.
In a glittering career, McCoy has won the King George, the Queen Mother Champion Chase, the Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Champion Hurdle.The only thing left for McCoy to win is the Grand National which continues to be elusive to him in his unrelentless quest for the big-race triumphs.
