Top line-up for Festival
The panel comprises many of the top names in Irish racing including Ruby Walsh, whose rides at the Festival will include Azertyuiop, hot favourite for the Arkle Chase and Royal Alphabet, heavily backed last week for the Champion Bumper.
Other jockeys on the panel include Barry Geraghty, who will be on Moscow Flyer in the Champion Chase and Norman Williamson, who will be looking to get off to a flier on recent impressive Limerick winner Back To Front in the Supreme Novices Hurdle prior to riding Rhinestone Cowboy in the Champion Hurdle.
The trainers on the panel include Willie Mullins, still pondering on whether or not Florida Pearl will take his chance in the Gold Cup and Eddie O’Grady who has live prospects with both Back in Front (Supreme Novices Hurdle) and Pizzaro (Royal And SunAlliance Novices Hurdle).
The panel is completed by Racing Post journalist Michael Clower and former top English trainer David Nicholson.
Tickets cost €10 (including a free €2 bet with Cashmans) and are available at the door or at any Cashmans branch.
