If you’re not one of the lucky ones going to the Cheltenham Festival this year then don’t worry… there are plenty of other ways to capture the magic!
The four-day fiesta begins on Tuesday, 11th March, with the highlight of the whole event being the prestigious Cheltenham Gold Cup, which takes place on Friday, 14th March.
Last year’s winner Galopin Des Champs, trained by the legendary Willie Mullins, is going for a hat-trick of victories in the big one but there will be a fair few trying to spoil his day.
