Cheltenham Preview Supper with Matt Chapman
Tuesday 4th March at 19.00 | Library | £85.00
For the millions who watch the Cheltenham Festival on television, the four days of jumps racing is prime viewing of all the game has to offer. At the forefront of this coverage is Matt Chapman, a well-known face for his interviews of the Turf’s great and good and overview of the betting markets, as well as some strident opinions on how racing should be run for the greater good.
Join Matt as the night’s principal guest of The Rag’s now-traditional Cheltenham preview evening. On the table will be, as well as fine food and wines, a consideration of the four days’ championship races, namely the Gold Cup, Champion Hurdle, Queen Mother Champion Chase, and Stayers’ Hurdle, and the week’s other divisional titles on the line for novice chasers and hurdlers. Time, too, for a look at Cheltenham’s range of handicaps to make sense of some of the trickiest betting tests of the year, and also consider whether Irish runners will continue their recent domination of the festival.
Matt will also talk about his path in racing to where he has come to rest today, and share in his insider’s view of four choice days of jumps racing offering rare insight into National Hunt racing’s biggest names. Part of an evening full of surprises, with Matt not the only guest on the night, an evening shared with others for whom jumps racing is the ultimate drama, to preface a week of the highest quality racing anywhere.
Whether you are going to Cheltenham for sight of Prestbury Park in person or joining Matt from your lucky armchair, an evening for those devoted to jumps racing as well as anyone who takes an interest in the game at this peak of the season.
