The countdown is at the most expected meeting of the year. On Tuesday at exactly 1.20pm, the starter will raise the tape, the famous Roar will be echoed through Gloucestershire landscapes, and the Cheltenham Festival 2025 will be ongoing.
Four days of elite equestrian races, enhanced by a carnival atmosphere while gathering Punteri from all of the United Kingdom and Ireland ‘The biggest show on the lawn’.
The stars are, of course, horses. The Hill Constitution, Jonbon and Teahupoo were all supposed to start before the peak came on Friday, and Galopin des Champs went to his third consecutive golden cup.
Around the race comes the narratives related to coaches: can Willie Mullins continue his dominance; How will Nicky Henderson go after his nightmare 2024; Will Gordon Elliott both of them?
Add many intricacies of this special sport, departure, time, shape and will undoubtedly be countless stories that appear during the absorbing week.
Races just don’t get better … 🤯

First day led by Hill Hill
The Hill Constitution is the first of the big blows that performed, and Tuesday went into the champion race, the race. The Henson star Star was missed last year because of poor health, but it was expected to return with a bang. This, however, is until Elliott has decided to enter the light after an extremely impressive view in Leopardstown in December. It should be Royale Battalion.
On the second day, or style on Wednesday, as he was handled, he sees Jonbon in action in the champion of the Queen of Mother Steele Chase. Henderson may have more confidence in this, although it does not exclude the Gaeli warriors, energy or Marine Nationale.
Can anyone stop Jonbon? 👀

Thursday is St. Patrick’s Day, where the emphasis is as much as ‘craic’ as the race. This does not mean that there will be not much excitement on the track with two features races, including a tenant’s obstacle in which Elliott’s Teahupoo should have enough to re -triumph last year’s triumph.
Golden Cup Friday
And then it is big while Galopin des Champs tries to make history by joining like Cottage Rake, Arkle and the best Mate and go back-up.
The star of Mullins Stable last month arrived at the third consecutive Irish Golden Cup and will be strongly supported to repeat the feat at Cheltenham.
“That’s huge,” Mullins said.
“It’s amazing that we have a horse for the third golden cup, [he] It could be in Arle, the category of a best friend.
“To be connected to such a horse, it is a great honor to be involved. We are all delighted and hope that the dream remains alive.”

It would be a convenient end to what will surely be another exciting festival if Galopin des Champs can do it.
But if he doesn’t, it simply creates another title, another horse pushed into a star.
And come May, fans will enjoy yourself: Guinness will be drunk; The story will be told; The laughter will be long and loud.
Enter it.
