.@DavidJenningsRP on the race schedule:
"Having the Fred Winter, Ultima, Plate and National Hunt Chase all wrapped around the Champion Hurdle didn't really work for me. There is too much mediocrity surrounding the main event.
"Switching the Jack Richards Novices' Handicap Chase back to Tuesday, where it was originally placed, and moving the Plate to Thursday would be a start. It would add a smidgen more quality to the opening day without making wholesale changes.
"The other thing I would do is swap the Grand Annual and National Hunt Chase around. The Ultima and National Hunt Chase are too similar to have on the same day, so move the final race on Tuesday to the penultimate event on Wednesday"
