The 2016 Cheltenham Festival is less than a month away now and this week we visited the stables of top trainer Colin Tizzard.

Cue Card

He’s the horse of a lifetime and he’s right at the top of his game. This year has been the making of him. He’s been doing it for Jackpot Bet Online six years but the last two years we’ve not got to Cheltenham with him and Jackpot Bet Online last year about three weeks before he could not get up the gallop as his epiglottis had gone.

He could barely trot up the gallop. We took him away and put a camera on his head and Jackpot Bet Online within five strides his epiglottis was coming up, it was like having a golf ball in the middle of his throat, Jackpot Bet Online he could only just breathe. In desperation last year we put a tongue tie on him, but this year he has come back looking a million dollars and from the first time we ran him he’s just been very good.
