Hello and a very warm welcome back to Cheltenham Racecourse for the final fixture of our 2023/24 season – and a very special one it is too!
Today’s meeting allows amateur riders and trainers to compete for the ultimate dream of winning at the Home of Jump Racing with seven fiercely fought Hunter Chases staged over a variety of distances. It is always a thrilling evening of action and we can’t wait to see you all out there –good luck to everyone involved!
As always, our thanks go to all of those who are supporting racing today, including Holland Cooper, Molson Coors and Keith & Michelle Smith. We are delighted to also welcome both The Midlands Air Ambulance and the Royal Gloucestershire Hussars We wish them, their guests and their families a wonderful day with us
After racing, Capital Breakfast’s Chris Stark will be ready and waiting for our first-ever trackside DJ set to keep the party going. Chris will take to the grandstand to entertain racegoers well into the evening. During the afternoon we have a Race Day Trail where it’s a fantastic opportunity for children to explore our iconic venue like never before, head to the information point for more details.
We can’t sign-off from the 2023/24 season without taking a look back at some of our highlights. There is no doubt the week of the Cheltenham Festival belonged to the unconquerable Willie Mullins & Paul Townend combination, the former notching up 100 wins not out at the Cheltenham Festival, an unprecedented feat The highlight of the duo’s week was no doubt Galopin Des Champs etching his name in history for back-to-back wins in the Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup, creating an unforgettable afternoon of racing and we feel incredibly privileged to witness this remarkable horse.
Elsewhere, Dan & Harry Skelton set their personal best of four winners at the Cheltenham Festival, flying the flag for the British, including two incredible Grade 1s with Grey Dawning & Protektorat that both came on a remarkable Thursday. Rachael Blackmore also achieved her first win in the Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase, with a shock winner Captain Guinness contributing to another successful season for both her & Henry de Bromhead.
Throughout the year we’ve seen thrilling action across all of our cards, while off the course initiatives such as the ‘Love Our Turf’ campaign proving another great success It’s always sad waving goodbye to the end of another great season here at Cheltenham Racecourse, but rest assured that we’re already full-swing into planning for 2023/24 – and we can’t wait to welcome you all back in October
Until then, we wish you all a wonderful day with us

‘To win’ is for your horse to come first.
‘Each-way’ is for your horse to come first or to be placed. It’s two bets, so ‘£2 each-way’ = £4 total bet.
Decide the amount – or stake – you are comfortable to bet.
Place your bet. There are different places to bet on course; The Tote, racecourse bookmakers, betting shop or online. Each option offers a different experience.
Collect. Once ‘Weighed-in’ has been announced, present your betting slip and collect any winnings.
And to celebrate, we are sponsoring the next race.
We have made so many memories here at Cheltenham over the years and today we have the biggest memory of all: Getting married and starting the rest of our life together.
Thank you Cheltenham Racecourse!

LATENIGHTRUMBLE has already enjoyed plenty of success between the flags, including last time, and he’s related to a couple of past winners of this race, so he should be primed for a big run. Iskandar Pecos arrives on a hat-trick and sets the standard, so he’s an obvious player and Wolf Walker should be considered.

Pioneering research into how horses see the world is helping reduce risk in racing
The colour used on hurdles and fences at all racecourses across Britain has changed from orange to white.
•Horses see in a reduced number of colours and don't see orange and red as humans do.
•Research by Exeter University showed that the clarity of obstacles in racing for horses could be improved by the use of white, and British racing made the change
•Effects on any changes in faller rates are now being monitored.
•Changing the colour on fences is one part of a bigger body of work by the Horse Welfare Board and British Racing to continuously reduce risk in the sport

PREMIER MAGIC: Following its run on 15/3/2024 it was reported that the trainer could not explain the poor run.

PREMIER MAGIC disappointed when bidding to defend his crown in the Festival Challenge Cup Hunters’ Chase here 7 weeks ago but he can bounce back with a bang and repeat last year’s success in this. Deise Aba has made a positive start forthis yard and is next best ahead of Fairly Famous, who was an impressive winner at this meeting last season.

The Royal Gloucestershire Hussars (RGH) were first raised in Cheltenham in 1795 and are today known as C(RGH) Squadron The Royal Wessex Yeomanry (RWxY), which is the UK’s only Regiment of Army Reserve tank soldiers.
Our soldiers are volunteers with normal jobs and lives who give up some of their spare time to train as crews for the Challenger 2 tank. As reserve members of the armed forces, they have access to a wide range of opportunities, including pay and pension, fitness training, sports and travel.
The Challenger 2 tank is crewed by a commander, gunner, loader and driver The tank offers firepower, manoeuvrability and protection and is capable of destroying the enemy up to 5km away.
The RGH maintains strong links across the county and has a long tradition in riding including previous winners at Cheltenham. Members also compete in Polo, Eventing, Show Jumping and Cross Country
