In the end, the loss was nothing like as significant as we feared. Only one racing day of any significance went missing, many of whose best races have been rescheduled for this weekend. And such has been the clamour for action that you can bet your life this Saturday’s improvised jamboree will record a comparatively […]

It’s Trials Day at Cheltenham – and that means a whole host of exciting top-class renewals featuring plenty of big 2019 Festival contenders. Can Frodon continue his brilliant form under Bryony Frost?
