THE testing road to the Cheltenham Festival in March continues for some of the country’s leading hurdlers, and you could be at Cheltenham on December 16 to get the festive season off to a brilliant start by watching one of the most valuable hurdle races in Europe, the £130,000 Unibet International Hurdle.

We've teamed up with big race sponsor Unibet to offer you the chance to win one of FIVE pairs of club tickets for a day out at the home of National Hunt racing.

A hugely significant race in its own right, the Unibet International Hurdle is one of the leading trials for the Champion Hurdle and the fifth leg of the eight-race ‘Road To Cheltenham' series.

Last year saw The New One win the two-mile hurdle race for the third time in four years and trainer Nigel Twiston-Davies is lining up the nine-year-old to claim a record-breaking fourth success and lift the £74,000 first prize.

You and your guest could be there on Saturday, December 16 to enjoy the superb racing action and that special Cheltenham atmosphere.

We have FIVE pairs of tickets to be won and Christmas will come early for one of the lucky winners who will also receive a £50 free bet with Unibet.

To be in with a chance of winning just answer the following question:
