Bolger bids for further glory at Cheltenham

GARDE CHAMPETRE, a five-time winner over Cheltenham’s cross-country fences, bids to add a sixth success this afternoon in the Glenfarclas Chase.

Winner of the corresponding race last year, Garde Champetre will be one of three runners for trainer Enda Bolger and owner JP McManus, whose big-race squad is completed by Freneys Well and Heads Onthe Ground.

Bolger has trained five of the last six winners – with the legendary Spot Thedifference winning four.
