Cheltenham quiz – can you beat Paddy?

With the Cheltenham Festival almost upon us, we asked 32Red brand ambassador Paddy Brennan to put his Cheltenham knowledge to the test in a quiz.

You can see how Paddy got on below – is it a Gold Cup-worthy performance, or does he fall at the first fence?

Big thanks to Paddy for taking part, and of course we wish him all the best at Cheltenham this week.

If you’d like to put your own Cheltenham wisdom to the test, we’ve got a quiz for you below.
