Soap plays starring role at Festival

Squirty soap maker Baylis & Harding is to sponsor the three-mile handicap chase on the opening day of this year's Cheltenham Festival on 11 March.

The announcement, which came less than a fortnight before the tapes are due to fly up for the contest, means the race will be known as the Baylis & Harding Affordable Luxury Handicap Chase.

The £90,000 Grade 3 race is a good Grand National trial. West Tip, Seagram and Rough Trade all prevailed in this contest before going on to triumph in the Aintree spectacular.
