RUBY WALSH is also 3/1 with Ladbrokes to ride 8 or more winners at the Cheltenham Festival.

And with what looks his main opposition this year, Dermot Weld, who trains both the current favourite and second favourite, Ladbrokes are offering 3/1 on him being the winning trainer.
Who will train the winner of the Champion bumper?
