The trainer was in a bullish mood when he discussed his horses’ chances at next month’s meeting on Wednesday
Stoicism is a useful – perhaps essential – trait for any racehorse trainer, but few carry it off quite as well as Colin Tizzard, who opened his yard on Wednesday morning for his annual pre-Cheltenham Festival media day.
Tizzard drew a blank from 21 runners at last year’s meeting and returned home empty-handed in 2014 and 2015 too, but was fairly convincing when he said that he does not feel any extra pressure ahead of this year’s meeting.
