Cheltenham 2022
Tuesday 15th to Friday 18th March inclusive
One of the biggest fixtures in the jump racing calendar is on the way, with a lot to look forward to. The Cheltenham Festival pits the best horses against each other across 4 days, with 28 races in total.
Day one kicks off the festival with a total of 4 grade one races, with the headline race being the Champion Hurdle. Look out for the superstar that is Honeysuckle, who is the defending champion having triumphed by six and a half lengths last season. She will be competing against the likes of Appreciate It and Epatante who offer excellent competition.
The Champion Chase takes centre stage on Wednesday, with the highly anticipated rematch between Shishkin and Energumene.
On the penultimate day, action includes the highly anticipated features of the Ryan Air Chase and Stayers’ Hurdle. Allaho is looking to repeat his victory last season in the Ryan Air Chase, with Ascot chase winner Fakir D’Oudairies and Irish Gold Cup winner Conflated looking to challenge him. The Stayers’ Hurdle is thought to be a excellent race with no stand out candidates to take the title. Watch out for Flooring Porter, Champ, Thyme Hill, Klassical Dream and 2019 hero Paisley Park who all have a chance.
This leads onto the headline of the festival, The Cheltenham Gold Cup with stars including A Plus Tard, Galvin, Al Boum Photo and last years winner Minella Indo who has not won a race since. British stars include Protektorat and Chantry House who could come out on top.
