Racing Ahead

Welcome: Cheltenhan Festival Special Edition

The season, if not the weather, has been warming up and we’re ready to boil into the frenzied Festival action.

The Cotswolds look set for a blockbuster Festival this year with red-hot duo Galopin Des Champs and Constitution Hill heading up a parade of stars.

Our experts have been picking over the keenly anticipated Cheltenham line-ups bringing a range of views on the action in store.

Ben Morgan offers a day-by-day look at the Festival fare, Paul Ferguson has four hot prospects to consider, Paul Jacobs casts a keen eye over the battles ahead. Andy Ayres shares his Paddock Picks and Karl Hedley reviews the top action from Ireland.

Nick Townsend shares a riveting pre-Festival interview with top jumps jockey Johnny Burke, John Anthony highlights the latest speed figures and Andy Newton offers essential stats on two highlights.

Meanwhile, Rolf Johnson shares his fascinating experiences in the post-colonial world of Indian racing and Graham Buddry pitches in with a blast from the past.

Spring is ready to jump into action. Good luck!
