Why is the Cheltenham festival expected so eagerly?
It has several Grade I matches, such as the Gold Cup, the Champion Hurdle, the Queen Mother Chase Chase and the Hurdle.

Tuesday – Championship
Wednesday – Queen Mother Champion Chase
Thursday – Steeple Chase (1520) and the obstacle of parameters (1600)
Friday – Cheltenham Gold Cup
What are the separate horses at this year’s Cheltenham Festival?
The list is headed by Willie Mullins Galopin Des Champs, the winner of Cheltenham Gold Cup for the last two years and the favorite for this year’s race. Gelding can also boast three wins of the Irish Gold Cup and two triumphs Savills Chase.
Constitution Hill returns to Cheltenham this year after losing 12 months ago after an error scanning Nicky Henderson’s stables. Will run to the champion’s obstacle.
Jonbon is another Honnderson horse lost last year. Imagine a lot to win Champion Chase.
Which trainers are expected to shine at the Cheltenham Festival?
Willie Mullins has been the most successful trainer in 11 of the last 14 years and is very likely to claim the crown once again. The Irishman celebrated the 100th winner of Cheltenham in 2024 and has 103 in total.
Watch Henderson, who will be desperate to make amendments to his frustration in 2024.
