Bachasson poised to get off the mark over fences

There are just three and a half weeks to go to the Cheltenham Festival and all the horses are in full work, writes Ruby Walsh. 

The screw is starting to be turned and, with what we’ve been through with so many already this season, I hope the wheels don’t fall off any more.

One of our Cheltenham hopefuls, Limini, who won last year’s Mares’ Novice Hurdle at the Festival, was entered this weekend but wasn’t declared. She could, instead, run against Apple’s Jade next Wednesday at Punchestown. What a highlight for midweek race-goers that would be.
