One of the biggest sporting events of the year kicks off tomorrow with four days of top-class horse racing taking place at Prestbury Park.
Thousands of Irish punters are set to descend on the Cotswolds over the coming days, with many having already started their journeys to Cheltenham via planes, trains, boats and everything in between.
Irish trainers won 18 of the 28 races last year, while the score was 23-5 in Ireland's favour in 2021 and a similar scoreline is predicted by many this week.
