It’s fantastic seeing the crowds back in big numbers at Cheltenham and indeed for the whole of the Jumps season.
The first day I really noticed that buzz and electricity was last Saturday at my local track Wincanton. It’s great to see Jump racing being well supported again.
Looking ahead to this Sunday at Cheltenham, there’s certainly a few stars out on show, so hopefully the crowd will have good reason to roar again!
Cheltenham Sunday rides
2:20pm – Politologue in the Grade 2 Shloer Chase
I’m incredibly excited to get back on Politologue, he’s a thrill to ride. As a jockey a proper two mile chaser is the sort of horse you get a unique buzz from. He’s been a brilliant performer for the yard and myself personally. He gave me my second ever Grade 1 win when I was a teenager.
Paul Nicholls has had Politologue doing loads of work at home so he’s feels race fit and raring to go. He’s an amazing horse to be associated with.
I schooled him earlier in the week. He’s still got plenty of enthusiasm and love for the game whether it’s galloping or jumping. I’ve never seen him look so well.
