It’s through gritted teeth that we congratulate Cristoph for winning yesterday’s Cheltenham Katchphrase. We’ve not got anything against good aul Cristoph, it’s just that we thought it was a really difficult one, but he got it really easily. So for the final day, we’ve concoted a humdinger that - fingers crosseed - will perplex the finest minds to frequent the Paddy Power Blog.
I said that today we’d done our best to make it difficult and for the first time this week, we’ve gone the distance. The final piece of the puzzle is removed:

Right, much slight a chaotic sprint up the hill, I’ll allow more than one guess per square - although Rayj seems to have taken that decision by himself.
It’s a free for all to guess the Katchphrase.

Yesssssssssss!! John Martin you genius!
It is indeed Stalking Horse. I did mention it was going to be difficult, so thanks to everyone who stuck with it.
If you didn’t win, don’t worry we’ll no doubt rehash the game in the near future when we have no other ideas and you can have another go.

Sorry Niall, we’re all freebetted out for this week, but no doubt we’ll be doing something in the very near future.
John, after the week that’s in it, you might have to wait until the heads clear before the Free Bet gets into your account, but it should get there at some stage tomorrow.
Thanks all for playing.
