The first big game of the jumps campaign begins this weekend with the Cheltenham November meeting running from Friday 14th to Sunday 16th November.
The action continues on Saturday with the Paddy Power Gold Cup, one of the year’s most prestigious early-season handicaps. On Sunday, fans can expect even more high-quality racing with the Greatwood Hurdle taking place, where fans can expect to see one of the tastiest two-mile handicaps on the calendar.
One of the most notable stories of the weekend is the return of Jonbon, Nicky Henderson’s star fighter, who is set to make his first appearance of the season. After an impressive campaign last year, the two-time Grade 1 winner will be looking to start this year’s campaign in style as he eyes big prizes ahead.
