For jump racing fans this is the most exciting week of the year as the Cheltenham Festival answers all of their speculations.
No punters will be at Prestbury Park this time but millions will be glued to their televisions screens to watch all of the action.
Willie Mullins has a superb team of horses heading over, many of whom are red hot favourites.
But we have tried to stay away from the Mullins hot pots to find some horses worth following at this year's Festival:
Irascible - Supreme Novices Hurdle (1.20 Tuesday) - 14/1
The Willie Mullins-trained favourite Appreciate It is rightly the market leader in the Festival opener.
But the each-way value could be Irascible for the Henry de Bromhead stable.
The son of Juxebox Jury was a distant second to Appreciate It in the Grade 1 novice hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas.
But that was only a second start under rules for Irascible who seemed to only warm to his task late on.
Things went wrong last time, with the gelding seeming to pay the price for trying to keep up a relentless gallop with Appreciate It on gluey ground.
It promises to be beautiful ground at Cheltenham and Irascible could improve enough to get involved at the finish.
Honeysuckle - Champion Hurdle (3.05 Tuesday) - 9/4
Ten out of ten under rules should become eleven out of eleven on Tuesday. This is a superstar mare.
Willie Mullins seemed to be in a state of belief that his mare Benie Des Dieux was beaten at last year's Festival by Honeysuckle.
But this season has proven that there was no shame in that as the daughter of Sulamani has taken all before her.
She has the speed, the stamina and has become a slick jumper. She has it all and is the banker of the meeting.
Busselton - Boodles Juvenile Handicap Hurdle (4/15 Tuesday) - 8/1
Owned by Tony McCoy's wife Chanelle and trained by Joseph O'Brien - this horse won't be playing for places.
A purchase from France, he has ran in the best juvenile races in Ireland this season and has only found a few top notchers too good.
You get the impression though that a little has been left to work on, and a handicap mark of 133 is exploitable.
The four-year-old will love a strong pace and looks weighted to run a big race.
Sire Du Berlais - Stayers Hurdle - 9/2
The defection of Thyme Hill has taken some of the value away - but Sire Du Berlais still looks overpriced to win at the Festival for a third successive year.
Top weight in last year's Pertemps Handicap Hurdle, he gave away weight to the second placed The Storyteller who won a Grade 1 over fences this season.
This season has been geared towards this race. A win over an inadequate trip at Navan was followed by a third-placed finish over Christmas at Leopardstown.
Don't read too much into the latter run- this horse has been primed for one day only and this is it.
Vanillier - Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle - 20/1
Of all the Grade 1s this week this looks the lottery.
Holes can be found in all of the runners as much as cases can be made in their favour.
Gavin Cromwell's Vanillier ran a shocking race at the Dublin Racing Festival to finish well adrift. But Cromwell's horses were out of form at the time.
He is much better judged on his previous form when looking a progressive stayer.
At his current odds, he is definitely worth an each-way wager.
