Cheltenham Festival Preview
From Barry McGuigan and Carl Frampton to Tyrone McKenna and Lewis Crocker, the city’s fighters carry a complex history into the ring, writes JOHN WIGHT
WITH Sandown called off it leaves racing for Saturday a bit light. I will touch on my best bets for this afternoon, but today’s column will mainly look forward to the Cheltenham Festival next week, with four days of the highest-class jump racing from Tuesday to Friday.
As far as this afternoon is concerned the best bet comes at Wolverhampton, where they have a cracking card.
The feature event is the Listed Wilfruna Stakes at 2.45 and I think that there is every chance that there could be a huge boil-over here in the form of GHAITH (nap).
