All eyes on Cheltenham ahead of the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup meeting

MONDAY

Musselburgh provides the sole jumps meeting of the day, with the conditional jockeys' handicap hurdle kicking off proceedings at 12.15.

All-weather fans are in for a treat with action from Lingfield in the afternoon and Newcastle in the evening. The former stages a competitive Class 2 handicap sprint (3.00).

Weekend entries for Cheltenham and Doncaster will be revealed around midday, with the showpiece Caspian Caviar Gold Cup taking centre stage.

TUESDAY

There is plenty for jumps enthusiasts to sink their teeth into with cards at Fontwell and Uttoxeter in Britain. Tramore hosts a seven-race card in Ireland, including a couple of competitive-looking handicap hurdles.

Wolverhampton hosts the evening fixture with an eight-race card starting at 3.45.

WEDNESDAY

Lingfield flies the flag for the all-weather in the daytime and is joined by jumps cards at Hexham and Leicester.

Kempton and Chelmsford take over for the evening with some interesting cards. Kempton's Class 3 2m handicap (6.40) has attracted 16 entries including the Listed-placed Platitude and Sean Curran's course winner All Yours.

THURSDAY

Warwick takes centre stage with its feature Listed Lady Godiva Mares' Novices' Chase (1.20). Dan Skelton's Maire Banrigh, unbeaten in two starts over fences, is one of 12 entries. Alsa Mix, a Grade 2 scorer over hurdles, could represent Alan King, while the talented If You Say Run could represent Paul Nicholls.

Newcastle and Taunton also provide afternoon fixtures while there is all-weather action in the evening from Wolverhampton and Chelmsford. The latter hosts a Class 2 handicap over a mile and entries include Group 1 winner Librisa Breeze and Listed victor Fox Power.

FRIDAY

All eyes turn to Cheltenham for its two-day meeting, and the Grade 3 BetVictor Handicap Chase (2.30) has attracted a typically competitive line-up. West Approach, an early unseater in the Ladbrokes Trophy, could bid to supplement last month's course success. There is also an intriguing novice chase and a cross country chase for punters to solve.

Doncaster has not enjoyed the best of luck recently and will be hoping the rain stays away for its two-day meeting, while Bangor also holds a jumps fixture.

Chelmsford stages an all-weather evening meeting, which features a Class 2 handicap over 1m6f (5.30).

SATURDAY

The Caspian Caviar Gold Cup (1.55) has an illustrious roll of honour and those bidding to win the prestigious contest include last year's second Cepage, as well as Capeland and Riders Onthe Storm.

The Unibet International Hurdle (3.05) will see the return of last year's Triumph Hurdle victor Pentland Hills and should provide punters with more Champion Hurdle clues.

Wolverhampton and Newcastle take over in the evening.

SUNDAY

A quieter day with Southwell and Carlisle the two meetings in Britain. Navan is the sole Irish meeting where the Grade 2 Navan Novice Hurdle is the highlight.
