EVERYONE is looking forward to Cheltenham next week, perhaps even more so now after the weather spoiled any meaningful action taking place over the weekend.

Of course there are big clashes to look forward to. Altior taking on Min, and possibly Douvan, is a mammoth clash. Un De Sceaux and Cue Card, with 17 Grade 1 races between them, could provide the race of the week in the Ryanair Chase. We cannot wait to see Samcro in the Ballymore, and Footpad’s rematch with Petit Mouchoir, with Saint Calvados thrown in, makes the Arkle another race to savour.
