It’s Cheltenham week. We’ve all been there. You’ve backed something in a big-field handicap that’s settled well and travelled smoothly throughout. As they turn for home, you’re in with a chance, the only problem being the 10 other horses also starting the climb with a sniff.

You don’t watch the others though. Your eyes remain glued to your selection. But gradually, as belief dwindles from winning the lot to a forlorn hope that you’ll nick one of the 4, 5, 6, 7 (delete as applicable) you snaffled this morning. In the end, it’s a walk to the fridge to get another Guinness, bemoaning the fluffed jump at the second last which realistically only cost you a length.

The aim with TLS is that, when we turn for home in the EFL, you’ve backed most of the runners going well, and at prices too. We’ve got a few markets covered, but there’s plenty more to come in the coming weeks.
