Hi all,

I’ve only been to the Cheltenham Festival once in 2014 but it was a memorable three days. I’m not sure If I will ever go again so I’m glad I got experienced it.  From the famous Cheltenham ‘Roar’ to seeing all horses trying the sport doesn’t get any better than the next four days.

Inside today’s main piece I preview the Champion Hurdle and the National Hunt Chase. And there’s also few race stats for you and some possible suggestions for the Scoop 6 or Placepot.

Hi all,

It’s almost here. The wait is over…. Yes, the 2023 Cheltenham Festival starts tomorrow.

Hi all,

It’s the last Saturday before Cheltenham we have racing from two courses on ITV today. There are four races from Sandown and three from Wolverhampton.

Fingers crossed we’ll see racing at Sandown this afternoon. The course must pass a precautionary morning inspection due to the threat of overnight frost. Provided temperatures haven’t dropped below the forecast -2C the track should be raceable. Anything below that and I suspect we’re going to lose the days feature meeting.

Inside today’s main piece I look at the best of the action at Sandown.

Hi all,

Inside today’s main piece I conclude my look at the Cheltenham Festival championship races. Today the Triumph Hurdle and the Mares Chase come under the microscope.  Plus, there's my Cheltenham Festival Lucky 15 and there’s a double figure selection running at Dundalk this evening that's dropped down to a winnable mark.
