The first major match of the racing campaign begins this weekend with the November meeting at Cheltenham, which runs from Friday 14 to Sunday 16 November.
The action continues on Saturday with the Paddy Power Gold Cup, one of the most prestigious early-season handicaps. Fans can expect even more quality racing on Sunday with the Greatwood Hurdle, where fans will be treated to one of the tastiest two-mile handicap races on the calendar.
One of the biggest stories of the weekend was the return of Nicky Henderson's star hunter Jonbon, who is set to make his first appearance of the season. After an impressive campaign last year, the two-time Grade 1 winner will be looking to start this year's campaign in style as he has big prizes ahead of him.
