WHAT I really, really want... A terrific Cheltenham with some brilliant winners. Yes, it can be done. And let’s shut up all the naysayers for at least a week. It’s not Cheltenham’s fault that National Hunt racing is now much less competitive. And if you still can’t find some wonderful potential and excitement over the week - then fly off to Dubai!

We’ll start at the finish – the Festival saving the best ‘til last. I really, really hope Galopin Des Champs marks himself out as an outstanding chaser in winning a second Gold Cup.
