DAY-BY-DAY FESTIVAL RACE GUIDE
The Festival gets under way with Champion Day, when tens of thousands of racing fans descend on the course. The big race of the day is the Champion Hurdle.
Day two of the Festival is traditionally known as Ladies Day so keep your eyes peeled for some glamorous fillies. On the course the featured race is the the 2018 Queen Mother Champion Chase.
Among the highlights of Day 3 are the World Hurdle, The Ryanair Chase and the Kim Muir.
The Festival closes with another great day's racing including the much anticipated Cheltenham Gold Cup.
