The jumps season is ‘officially’ back as Cheltenham returns to our tv screens nd we’re giddier than a gorilla downing five litres of blackcurrant cordial. Worryingly however, there are just nine more Saturday’s before the dreaded ‘C’ word and the thoughts of navigating a busy shopping centre bring us out in a colder sweat than Donald Trump explaining his taxes.
What will make the looming festive season a little easier however, is the sight of our favourite National Hunt stars and a bulging bank balance.
Cheltenham will look after the former but the pressure’s on Mick, Paddy, Tom and Frank to deliver the second and warm up the chilly autumn afternoons.
