Ex-Arsenal chairman Sir Chips Keswick is at Cheltenham to see his horse You Wear it Well win the Jack de Bromhead Mares Novices' Hurdle, after he missed his first Festival winner back in 2014... because he was watching the Gunners!

Former Arsenal chairman Sir Chips Keswick missed his first Festival winner in 2014 because he was watching his team play in Europe, but he was present on Thursday as You Wear It Well gave him a second victory at the meeting in the Jack de Bromhead Mares Novices' Hurdle.

Keswick, who stood down in 2020 after seven years as Arsenal chairman, won the Festival Novices' Handicap Chase in 2014 with Present View, trained by Jamie Snowden like You Wear It Well.

Sir Chips said: 'It is great to be here this time. I had to watch Arsenal against Bayern and they beat us 3-1 (on aggregate).
