The Cheltenham Festival continues at Prestbury Park this week as 28 races over four days attract hundreds of thousands of players to the racecourse.
Tuesday kicked off with Champions Day with Nicky Henderson undefeated on Constitution Hill and Honeysuckle, enjoying great racing.
Wednesday is Ladies Day, and St. Patrick’s Day falls on Thursday, before the big climax of the Festival, which is the Gold Cup on Friday.
The British coaches will be looking to get revenge after beating their Irish counterparts hard last year, losing the Prestbury Cup 12 months ago with just 10 wins compared to the Irish’s 18 wins.
