The Cheltenham ROAR IS MOMENTS AWAY

The gates of Cheltenham Racecourse will open on Day One of The Cheltenham Festival, as we welcome another four days of extraordinary racing and entertainment.

At Day One of The Cheltenham Festival, we see the best take on the best, we see old Champions challenged by new, and Tuesday’s seven racecard sees the week get off to an absolute flyer.

The Home of Jump Racing will come alive for the first feature race of the week, the £450,000 Grade 1 Unibet Champion Hurdle. In 2019, it was won by Gavin Cromwell, who celebrated his first-ever Festival winner, with Espoir d'Allen, owned by J P McManus, and ridden by Mark Walsh.
