CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL 2018 MARCH 13TH, 14TH, 15TH& 16TH (All Races are 48 hour Declarations) A reserves system has been introduced for all festival handicaps. This has been framed with a 1pm eve-of-race cut-off point for introducing new runners. In an attempt to avoid uncertainty and confusion, horses can in future be declared only for a single festival race, whether subsequently a non-runner or not, unless eliminated from their chosen target or declared as a reserve.
