Cornbury week is here, and the excitement rolls straight on from Defender Burghley. Nicole Brown is joined by Lucy Jackson, fresh from the Insight Stage at Burghley and heading into the commentary box at Cornbury, to preview one of the standout fixtures of the autumn calendar. 

We cover everything from the star-studded entry lists to the Racehorse-to-Eventer Challenge Cup, plus the brilliant work of the Howden Thoroughbred Aftercare Programme. Expect plenty of names you’ll know, future stars you’ll want to watch, and a real sense of why Cornbury has become unmissable.
