28 races over four days of action inside Cheltenham Racecourse will come to an end on Friday afternoon, with the Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle concluding the 2022 Festival. The Martin Pipe was established in 2009 in honour of the master trainer who saddled 34 Festival winners and is the only hurdles race at the Festival restricted to conditional…

The fixture is now widely regarded as the first taste of top-class National…

The chill is in the air again and the core jumps season is poised to return.
