When is Cheltenham Festival 2021? Start time, trials, Gold Cup runners and can fans go

mirror.co.uk:

Racing fans are continuing the countdown to the 2021 Cheltenham Festival. The four-day event, which takes place in March, features the Magners Gold Cup, which has been won by many top class horses over the years.

Al Boum Photo has taken the past two renewals of the prestigious race and bids to become only the fourth horse to land a hat-trick.

If successful he will join all-time greats Best Mate, Arkle, Cottage Rake and Golden Miller – the chaser with five victories to his name.

It is not known yet who will be at the track to watch the record bid, as coronavirus restrictions continue at sporting events.
