Preview of this weekend’s racing with Farringdon and Cheltenham Festival

THE majority of today’s column will be focusing on the Cheltenham Festival next week (see below), but a quick word about today where the main meeting will be at Sandown Park.

The Imperial Cup Handicap Hurdle (2.25) is the big prize of the day and although he has 12 stone to carry, the November Handicap winner Metier looks sure to run well for trainer Harry Fry.

However, I reckon he will have his work cut out to give 21lbs away to the lightweight KELLAHEN.
