IT’S weather watch all over the place today, on both sides of the Irish Sea, and just because Cheltenham went ahead yesterday, it doesn’t mean that it is a certainty to go ahead today.

Hopefully it does, it’s a good card, with some interesting contests set to unfold. A maximum of just five are set to line up in the Unibet International Hurdle, the smallest field this decade, and that could be reduced to four if Denis Hogan’s horse Zaffonien, who ran in the two-mile handicap hurdle yesterday, defects.
