Go inside the stables with the defending champion ahead of raceday

It's nearly time for the 2025 Grand Military Gold Cup and one man looking to retain his winning spot is Major Will Kellard, riding Farceur De Large.

A stunning run in 2024 saw them pip 80/1 outsider Captain Douglas White on Fil D'Ariane to the line to take the race win.

Maj Kellard has been preparing in the stables ahead of Friday's big event – which you can watch live on the BFBS Forces News YouTube channel.
