Ladbrokes have revealed their nightmares for Cheltenham

1 - MY WAY DE SOLZEN wins the Ladbrokes World Hurdle - 8/1 (from 10/1 today) and backed in from 20/1 after running second to Lough Derg at Fontwell

David Williams Ladbrokes spokesman said: "We went out on a limb when we took a dim view of My Way's Fontwell run. The 20/1 was smashed up and more than enough people disagreed with our opinion. He'd be a horror result for the sponsors."

2 - NOLAND wins the Arkle - 2/1 (from 9/4) having been available at a top price 4/1 after winning last month at Sandown

David Williams of Ladbrokes said: "He's far and away the ugliest sight in our antepost book. We weren't convinced by Noland at Sandown but he's now a Festival banker for many punters. Anything else will do in the Arkle for the layers."

3 - TONY McCOY is crowned top jockey at the Festival
David Williams of Ladbrokes said: "We expected to fear Ruby Walsh but McCoy is the one we're worried about. Big and small stake punters alike have lumped on the champ to make an emotional return to the winner's enclosure at the Festival"
