Cheltenham Festival: Video previews with the leading trainers

It may not be straight from the horse's mouth - but it is the next best thing.

Harry Fry
Harry Fry rose to prominence when he trained out of Paul Nicholls' satellite yard and prepared Rock On Ruby to win the Champion Hurdle. Now he returns to Prestbury Park with his name next to ROR and he has a live chance of claiming the Racing Post Arkle such is his Festival record. Vukovar and Highland Retreat are also huge players for team Fry and he discusses their chances here.

David Bridgwater
It's all about The Giant Bolster for David Bridgwater. A fine servant, the Bolster has finished second and fourth in the last two Gold Cups and confidence is high he can hit the frame once again following a fine win in the Argento Chase at Cheltenham on Trials Day.

Martin Keighley
Champion Court has been the Keighley stable star in recent years and he returns again to have a crack at the Ryanair Chase. However, Annacotty shares the limelight after his Grade One win at Kempton over Christmas and his attacking style of running should be a sight to behold in the RSA Chase.

Charlie Longsdon
Charlie is a fantastic up and coming trainer but he hasn't done so well at Cheltenham as he eludes to in this video. The JP McManus-owned Pendra, however, could change all that this time around.
