NEWBURY'S free Friday has it all as far as Cheltenham contenders are concerned with the John Smith's Grand National favourite Junior thrown in for good measure.
The Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Long Run faces five rivals, headed by What A Friend, the returning Burton Port and Tidal Bay, in the Betfair Denman Chase.
Sprinter Sacre, favourite for the Racing Post Arkle, takes on last year's winner French Opera in the Betfair-sponsored Game Spirit Chase, while a field of 20 are set to go to post in the £152,000 Betfair Hurdle.

SOUTH AFRICANS Mike deKock and Kevin Shea improved their already formidable records in the Group 2 Al Fahidi Fort when combining to win the 1m turf feature with Viscount Nelson.
Short of room three furlongs out, Shea had to bide his time but once clear the pair ran on strongly to deny Alsaabil with the winner's stable companion Master Of Hounds snatching third close home from last year's winner Derbaas.
