It’s 10 years since a Cheltenham Festival has passed without Henry de Bromhead visiting the winner’s enclosure at least once. He visited it six times five years ago and one of the victors in that dream week, Bob Olinger, gave his trainer a landmark 25th Festival win when scoring in the Stayers’ Hurdle 12 months ago.
A year on, De Bromhead’s hopes of maintaining his Cheltenham winning streak may hinge on Bob Olinger and fellow veteran Envoi Allen defying their advancing years.
