THE countdown is underway to what promises to be another thrilling Cheltenham Festival, and YOU could be there on the opening day next month.
We have teamed up with Champion Hurdle sponsor Unibet to offer readers the chance to win two admission tickets and club enclosure badges for a day out at one of the biggest events in the sporting calendar.
The 28 races and prize money of more than £4.5 million attract runners from Britain, Ireland and France, making it four days of partying, punting, passion and world class racing.
You and a companion could be there on Tuesday, March 12 to enjoy the superb racing action and that special Cheltenham Festival atmosphere.
The first day of The Festival features the Unibet Champion Hurdle, the most important hurdle race of the jump season with prize money of £450,000 and the climax to the seven-race Unibet Road to Cheltenham series.
This prestigious race is always fiercely competitive and, despite suffering a shock defeat on Boxing Day in the Unibet Christmas Hurdle at Kempton Park, Nicky Henderson-trained Buveur D’Air is currently the firm favourite as he tries to become only the sixth three-time winner of the race since its inception in 1927.
Buveur D’Air, trained by West Berkshire's Nicky Henderson, wins the 2018 Unibet Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham Racecourse.
We have FIVE pairs of tickets to be won and all you have to do to enter is answer the following question:
