The first major fixture of the jump campaign begins this weekend with the Cheltenham November meeting, running from Friday 14th to Sunday 16th November.
The action continues through on Saturday with the Paddy Power Gold Cup, one of the most prestigious early-season handicaps of the year. On Sunday, fans can expect even more high-quality racing with the Greatwood Hurdle taking place where fans can expect to see one of the tastiest two-mile handicaps on the calendar.
One of the most notable stories of the weekend is the return of Jonbon, Nicky Henderson's star chaser, who is set to make his first appearance of the season. After an impressive campaign last year, the dual Grade 1 winner will look to start this year's campaign in style as he eyes big prizes ahead.
