The week has flown by and we’ve already reached the final day of the Cheltenham Festival.
But before you start telling yourself not to cry it’s over and just be glad it happened, we’ve got seven more races to savour including the highlight of the whole week, the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
Galopin Des Champs (heard of him?) bids to join the incredibly exclusive club of horses that have won the Blue Riband three years in a row and just eight rivals, the most notable being King George VI Chase hero Banbridge, stand in his way.
There is a double helping of Grade 1 action before we get to the big race as East India Dock and Lulamba face off in the Triumph Hurdle and The Big Westerner bids to bring up a hat-trick in the spud race, the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle.
We’re throwing a light on the girls once again in the Grade 2 Mrs Paddy Power Mares’ Chase and the last race of the whole meeting, the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle, features one of the big talking horses, Kopeck De Mee, who makes his stable debut for Willie Mullins.
