Organised in conjunction with Queen Mother Champion Chase sponsor Sportingbet.com and the Cheltenham & Three Counties Race Club, there are special concessions for signed up members of the Club. If you are a member you will receive a copy of the Racing Post Festival Betting Guide, worth £10, as a complimentary gift. Packed with useful tips and trends, the 27 races should look a little easier to solve, especially when you factor in the advice of the panel. Tickets are available on the door at £10.
