Byrnes sets sights on Cheltenham

Charles Byrnes is looking forward to running Trifolium and Arnaud at the Cheltenham Festival following their fine efforts at the weekend.

Trifolium booked his ticket for the Racing Post Arkle Challenge Trophy with his victory in the Irish equivalent at Leopardstown on Sunday.

The County Limerick trainer will give Arnaud several options at jump racing’s premier meeting after he went close to making all the running when second to Valdez in the Racing Post Lightning Novices’ Chase at Doncaster on Saturday.
