Get off to a flier with Far West in Cheltenham opener

My nap of the weekend comes in the very first race at Cheltenham today — Far West in the juvenile hurdle — so we’ll all be out of our collective misery fairly early.

Mind you, I’m confident this progressive and gorgeous horse will do the business and that will, hopefully, set us all up for a decent couple of days.

Far West is one of many Paul Nicholls French-imports and has done everything, and more, asked of him in two outings in Britain.
