"All horses should be ridden to obtain the best possible placing." BHA steward Shaun Parker discusses today's two running and riding enquiries at Cheltenham around Iroko and Delta Work. Both have Grand National aims - is there possible tension there with the weights not being released for that race until mid-February?



🚨 Clarity from the BHA this morning: Non-Novices WILL have to comply with the new Qualification rules. Therefore Non-Novices also require 5 runs for a Handicap Hurdle, or 4 runs for a Handicap Chase at the Festival. All qualifying runs must be made by Sunday 23rd February.
