So you don’t have a ticket for the Cheltenham Festival? Well, the next best thing you can do is settle down on the sofa with a cuppa and watch the action unfold on your telly box.

While it may not be quite the same thing as being there in person, Paddy’s pals at ITV Racing have you covered with live coverage from all four days of the biggest meeting on the Jumps calendar.

There’ll be a few familiar faces on ITV Racing’s coverage with our columnists Ruby Walsh, Mick Fitzgerald and Matt Chapman all set to offer their expert eye and betting advice during the week.

ITV Racing’s bumper coverage gets going with The Opening Show on ITV4 from 8:30am to 10am on all four days of the Cheltenham Festival before the live coverage on ITV1 gallops into action from 1pm.

Ed Chamberlin and the rest of the gang call it a day at 4:30pm on all four days before the final race on the card.
