Off The Fence: Cheltenham Festival review including Rachael Blackmore’s stunning Cheltenham Gold Cup success | Racing News

The Off The Fence panel are back for one last dance as they discuss the highs and lows at this season’s Cheltenham Festival as well as some pointers for next season.

In the final episode of the season, Barry Geraghty, Tony Keenan and host Vanessa Ryle pick out their standout performances across the four-day meeting at Prestbury Park and review all the championship races at Cheltenham last week.

They also take a look ahead at horses who could threaten at the end-of-season meetings at Aintree and Punchestown, and also have a glance at the 2022/23 season!
