    They have a two hour preview on the Racing UK website with Ruby in the studio.
    Worth a watch, they also have all the trials available on the site.

    Any info from it? Was in work myself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 372 ✭✭restingpilgrim


    Not really. It just covered main races. Looks like Don Mcclean not keen on either of two gold cup favs is all. Other main races pretty much with the favs.

    I think the ATR cheltenham site with the stats and preview videos is very good.
