It's that time of year again when the world's best horses and jockeys, plus some 260,000 punters, descend on Cheltenham for a thrilling few days of racing.
Cheltenham organisers announced that, this year, attendances have been capped to 68,500 per day to enhance the fan experience.
Rachael Blackmore stole all the headlines last year as she rode Honeysuckle to glory in the Champion Hurdle before triumphing on A Plus Tard in the Gold Cup.
All eyes will be on the superstar jockey in the build-up to Gold Cup day and The Sporting News has you covered with the full race schedule to ensure you don't miss a minute of the action.
