Cheltenham Festival winners: 45
The most successful jockey in Cheltenham Festival history with 45 winners (12 clear of compatriot Barry Geraghty), Co Kildare jockey Ruby will almost certainly add to that on the opening day this year given his ultra-strong book of rides like Min, Douvan, Annie Power and Vroum Vroum Mag. The Paddy Power columnist collected his ninth Leading Jockey Award at the Festival last season with four winners and got the monkey of not riding a Festival winner over fences since Kauto Star won the Gold Cup in 2009 off his back when Un de Sceaux and then Vautour won last year after 19 winners over hurdles or in the Champion Bumper.
