The horse racing calendar's highlight kicks off on Tuesday, with 28 top class races jammed into four days

Bookies are bracing themselves for the biggest betting week of the year, with the 2024 Cheltenham Festival now just days away.

Ladbrokes have named Gold Cup favourite Galopin Des Champs, Lossiemouth and British banker and Triumph Hurdle favourite, Sir Gino, as the three horses they are fearing most in the Cotswolds. “Punters v The Bookies” isn’t the only clash occurring at Prestbury Park, as the rivalry between the Irish and the British hots up. Irish-trained horses dominated the festival once again last year, and this year, the bookies believe the cup will be travelling again. It is 4/1 that Team Ireland can celebrate 18 or 19 winners.
