  • “We have decided to amend the maximum field size from three starts which impacts three races at The Festival. The maximum field size for the 2m 5f Old Course Hurdle start will be reduced from 26 to 24 for Handicaps and from 24 to 22 for Novice races, impacting the Coral Cup at The Festival.

    “The maximum field size for 2m 1f Hurdle start on the New Course will be reduced from 26 to 24 for Handicaps and 24 to 22 for Novice contests. This will impact the William Hill County Hurdle at The Festival.

    “The Weatherbys Champion Bumper will be impacted by the decision to reduce the maximum field size at the 2m National Hunt Flat start on the Old Course from 24 to 22.”

I believe the Grand Annual is now 20 as well (not sure if that is a this year change).

Bit shit for him, hopefully he just wanted a day to get himself sound again, while he doesn't get many round Cheltenham he knows where the winning line is and always gives them the right ride, win or lose.
