There will be a full bar and snack food available, along with a display of the trophies for The Festival races. There will also be a raffle and auction in aid of The Injured Jockesy Fund and HEROES.

Organized in conjunction with sponsor Sportingbet.com and the Cheltenham & Three Counties Race Club, there are special concessions for signed up members of the Club. If you are a member you will receive a copy of the Racing Post Festival Betting Guide, worth £10 as a complimentary gift. Packed with useful tips and trends, and fresh from the panel's views, the 26 races will look easy to solve.
