The first major meeting of the jumps campaign begins this weekend with the Cheltenham November meeting, which takes place from Friday 14th to Sunday 16th November.
The action continues on Saturday with the Paddy Power Gold Cup, one of the most prestigious early season handicaps of the year. On Sunday, fans can expect even more high-quality racing with the Greatwood Hurdle, where fans can expect to see one of the tastiest two-mile handicaps on the calendar.
One of the biggest stories of the weekend is the return of Nicky Henderson’s star chaser 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 look to start this year’s campaign with a bang as he eyes big prizes ahead.
