The 30-minute magazine style preview, presented by Denis Kirwan, will be repeated on TG4 on the night before the festival, Monday 15th March, at 7.30pm. The Cheltenham festival preview programme, produced by Touchline Media, features stable visits to Eugene O’Sullivan who is preparing It Came To Pass for a bid to win back-to-back St. James’s Place Hunter Chases, this time without his regular amateur partner Maxine O’Sullivan; ‘Shark Hanlon’ on his festival hopes for £600 purchase Skyace; Rebecca Curtis on Lisnagar Oscar’s bid to retain his Stayers Hurdle crown and we are down on Beale Beach in North Kerry with trainer Michael Winters whose Chatham Street Lad will attempt to repeat his memorable Cheltenham success of last December. Donn McClean and Dave Keena take a look at the main contenders for the principal championship races at the festival - the Unibet Champion Hurdle, the Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase and the Wellchild Cheltenham Gold Cup, where Al Boum Photo attempts to join the Cheltenham festival immortals by winning the chasing blue riband on three occasions. “The Cheltenham Festival is one of the great Anglo-Irish sporting rivalries and TG4 are once again delighted to provide racing fans with a preview of an unusual Cheltenham festival, that will take place behind closed doors this year” said Rónán O’Coisdealbha, Head of Sport, TG4.
