We can now look forward to the 2011 Cheltenham Festival which takes place from Tuesday the 15th to the 18th March. Once the season gets underway in the Autumn all the focus will be on the stars of the National Hunt. The return of the likes of Kauto Star, Hurricane Fly and Sizing Europe will be of particular interest to see if they can return to the heights that they have achieved last season. Imperial commander winner of this years Gold Cup now has something to prove once more following his poor performance at Aintree.
The Champion Hurdle will be as big as the Gold Cup next season with all the talk bound to be about Hurricane Fly following his win in the Punchestown Champion Hurdle. Binocular was back to his best winning this year but he seems to find it difficult to string two good performances together as he will attempt to win back to back Champion Hurdles.
The Queen Mother will be very interesting also in 2011 with Sizing Europe likely to be targeted at this race. Master Minded now has a lot of questions to answer after his defeat last year as he looks to regain his very best form.
Big Bucks is going to be very short once more to win his third Ladbrokes World Hurdle and we all hope that the Willie Mullins Quevega will take him on, if so, who will Ruby ride? This years champion Bumper winner Cue Card will be one to watch in the Supreme Novices division as will the highly rated Hidden Universe who looks to be a good prospect for Dermot Weld.
We have the ante post betting odds for main 2011 Cheltenham Festival races, the Gold Cup, Champion Hurdle, Queen Mother Chase and Ladbrokes World Hurdle.
