Hurricane Fly and Quevega take centre stage on a thrilling start to the 2014 Cheltenham Festival on Tuesday.
The famous Cheltenham Roar will send the runners on their way for the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at 1.30 on Tuesday. The meeting begins with a clash between the unbeaten Irving and impressive Leopardstown winner Vautour.
