All eyes are on Galopin Des Champs, who is aiming for a third successive Gold Cup at the climax of the Cheltenham Festival. General admission for the Gold Cup has sold out, with nearly 70,000 spectators gathered at Prestbury Park.

There was that mad Champion Hurdle, Constitution Hill and State Man both falling. There was Jonbon with his chance-ending mistake in the Champion Chase. There was Crambo crashing out of the Stayers' Hurdle right in front of the stands and taking Home By The Lee with him.

The Cheltenham Festival starts on Tuesday, 11 March and concludes on Friday, 14 March. Fans will be glued to 28 races over four days, with seven races per day, including 13 races run over fences across the week, 13 over hurdles plus a bumper (flat race) and a cross-country chase.
