Tuesday 15 March

Here at last! The Cheltenham Festival kicks off today with a stellar card. Selections today are: Cue Card, Ghizao, Bensalem, Peddlers Cross, Maljimar, Quevaega and Quantitativeeasing. We wish a safe return for all jockeys and horses, and spare a thought for poor Dougie Costello, who had a fantstic book of rides this week, only to find himself in the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford this morning with a fractured lower leg. Such is the life of a jump jockey! Get well soon Dougie.
