What you need to know to start your week including going reports

Three fantastic days at Cheltenham are in the books, and there was a lot to reflect on from a great weekend of action in Britain and Ireland.

But that was last weekend. This weekend we have another of jump racing's highlights with Haydock's Betfair Chase meeting.

What to read

Faugheen rocketed to the top of the Champion Hurdle market and David Jennings witnessed the return of the machine at Punchestown.

At Cork Mick Winters found himself in hot water with the stewards, but has vowed to appeal his hefty fine.

The best of Racing Post Sport

To round off another weekend of Premier League football Brighton host Stoke, and Mark Langdon thinks it could be a fruitless trip to the coast for the Potters.

Final thought

It was great to see Faugheen back in action, and he looked as good as ever when winning the Morgiana. It may only be November, but if he stays sound, is the Champion Hurdle already a done deal?
