Racing returns to Cheltenham for its two-day October Meeting!
The Jump fraternity have had to wait a little longer than usual for action to return to Prestbury Park after the cancellation of their regular April and May fixtures, but have 14 races to get stuck into across Friday and Saturday.
A timely deluge of rain up and down the country has eased some fears about ground conditions and the meeting looks all set to start on 'Good to Soft'.
Dan Skelton, Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott all have runners, with punters already watching out for some all-important Cheltenham Festival clues.
