Changing room chat: Henry Cecil joins famous faces on derby day

FLAT racing legend Henry Cecil makes his first-ever visit to the Cheltenham Festival today and could even mark his appearance with a winner.

Cecil is running the Niarchos family-owned Plato in the St Patrick's Day Derby, a fundraiser for Cancer Research UK.

Plato will be ridden by Lorna Fowler, the broadcaster, "voice of Newmarket" and sister of jockey Mark Bradburne.

Further glamour will be provided by Sky Sports News presenter Rachel Wyse, who is riding Silent Jo, and Channel 4 Racing presenter Alice Plunkett on Devil To Pay.
