Champion Hurdle clues at Cheltenham as well as rescheduled Peterborough Chase

Monday

Thebannerkingrebel makes his first start over fences against Stratagem at Plumpton in a novice chase (1.00) that forms part of the track's Cheltenham bonus series.

Any horse that takes one of the qualifying races and then goes on to win any race at the Cheltenham Festival will scoop a bonus of £40,000, a reduced prize this year.

Musselburgh also stages a jumps meeting, with all-weather fixtures at Chelmsford and Wolverhampton.

Tuesday

Another day and another interesting beginners' chase at a smaller track with 142-rated hurdler Umbrigado set to make his debut over fences at Uttoxeter (1.15).

After a day's break racing returns to Punchestown with a seven-race card, while Fontwell, Wolverhampton and Southwell complete the schedule.

Wednesday

Bushypark landed one of the gambles of the year at Hexham last month and could return to the Northumberland track (in either the 12.25 or 2.25) in a bid to register a quickfire hat-trick.

Leicester is scheduled to stage the other jumps card, but will hold an inspection at 8.15am on Tuesday with the course waterlogged in places on Monday morning. There are also all-weather fixtures at Lingfield and Kempton.

Thursday

There is plenty of good action at Warwick, where the Listed mares' novice chase (1.27) could feature a first start over fences for Cheltenham Festival winner Indefatigable.

Gallyhill, a £450,000 sale-topper for Henrietta Knight last year, might make his debut in the maiden hurdle (12.52) on the same card for trainer Nicky Henderson, while Newcastle, Tramore and Chelmsford complete the day's five meetings.

Friday

The ITV4 cameras will be on hand for the return of crowds at Cheltenham for the first time since the festival in March on day one of the International Hurdle meeting.

Last season's Glenfarclas Chase winner Easysland could attempt to avenge his recent defeat to Kingswell Theatre in the cross country chase (3.00). Owner JP McManus has also given entries to Chantry House in the novice chase (12.40) and Unowhatimeanharry in the 3m handicap hurdle (3.35).

The BHA announced on Monday that the Peterborough Chase, which was due to be run on Sunday at Huntingdon, will be staged as part of an eight-race card at Cheltenham starting 11.30am.

Doncaster also stages the first day of its two-day meeting, alongside Bangor, Southwell and Dundalk.

Saturday

Champion Hurdle clues are likely to come in the Grade 2 International Hurdle (3.00), a race mooted as the long-awaited starting point for Goshen.

The Caspian Caviar Gold Cup (1.50) provides the main betting race of the weekend and Al Dancer, Caribean Boy and Master Tommytucker were at the head of the ante-post market before Monday's five-day confirmations.

Doncaster's card includes two Grade 2 races and Hereford and Fairyhouse also host jumps meetings, with Newcastle and Wolverhampton catering for all-weather enthusiasts.

Sunday

The domestic action will take place at Carlisle, Lingfield and Southwell.
