the stage is set for the festival, start dreaming
Finalise your choices for the big one at Festival Trials Day on Saturday 25 January, before all roads lead to Cheltenham Racecourse for The Festival™ presented by Magners in March.
Saturday 25th January 2020
Broadcast live on ITV Racing, it's the last Cheltenham raceday before The Cheltenham Festival and there is always an excitable atmosphere. Huge crowds gather to catch a glimpse of Festival contenders as they show the world what they're really made of.
The racing highlight of Festival Trials Day is the Trial Cotswold Steeple Chase, often considered a trial for the Magners Gold Cup in March. Last year Definitly Red relished the wet ground conditions and flew home in front for connections.
Highlights from Festival Trials Day 2019
The clue is in the name for our final raceday before The Festival. Three winners from this day all went on to score on Day Three of The Festival.
Popular Paisley Park cemented his place on the road in The Sun Racing Stayers’ hurdle with a convincing victory in the galliardhomes.com Cleeve Hurdle (Grade 2), with Frodon backing up his December success here and winning the Trial Cotswold Chase (Grade 2). Siruh Du Lac and Lizzie Kelly were too good for the field in the Spectra Cyber Security Solutions Trophy Handicap Chase (Grade 3) winning for her Step Father, trainer Nick Williams.
