Cheltenham hosts a bumper nine-race card on Saturday as a number of horses look to enhance their Festival credentials.
Energumene's clash with Edwardstone in the Albert Bartlett Clarence House is one of the standout contests of the day, but there is so much more to look forward to.
The two and a half mile race was added to today's card after Ascot fell to the cold weather last weekend, while the Glenfarclas Cross Country Handicap will also be run this afternoon after being cancelled from the December card here due to a lack of rain
The Paddy Power Cotswold Chase is another fascinating race that sees last year's Grand National winner Noble Yeats lock horns with Protekorat for the Skeltons.
But one of the most popular results of the day would surely be 11-year-old Paisley Park landing the Cleeve Hurdle for a fourth time.
