After all the talking and the build-up, it's finally time for the action to commence. At 1.20pm Tuesday, the atmosphere, nerves, tension, and excitement will make the parade ring a hot and heated environment.
In traditional fashion, the curtain will rise when the tape flies back at the two-mile hurdle start and the runners thunder up Cheltenham’s Old Course for the Supreme Novice Hurdle.
