CHANNEL 4 RACING COMP

VIP package to day 3 of the Cheltenham Festival.

Unfortunately, as you have to identify someone from what looks like a 40 year old photo, I don't know the answer to the question. I've guessed Paul Nicholls.

Unless you know one of the 3 people listed personally, guessing may be your best bet.

It's a good prize though so definitely worth a 3/1 shot for the sake of filling in a form.

TERMS 1. The winner will be picked at random from all correct entries.
2. The competition opens on 29th January and closes at 5pm on 26th February 2011
3. The winners will be notified by email on 28th February and will have 5 days to confirm acceptance of their prize, otherwise an alternative winner may be selected at random
4. The prize is a VIP trip for the Competition winner plus their companion on St Patrick's Day (Thursday 17th) to Cheltenham Festival, which shall include:
• admission tickets,
• full hospitality (drinks on arrival, lunch and complimentary bar throughout the day)
• entry to the Paddock to meet the Channel 4 Racing team,
• photographic montage of the day; and
• £100 worth of Guinness and Cheltenham Centenary merchandise
5. Travel to and from the event is the responsibility of the winner
6. You may only enter the competition once. Multiple entries will be counted as one
7. The competition is open to UK residents aged 18 years and over. Both you and your guest must be 18 years or over. The winner and their guest will be asked to provide proof of age at the venue
8. By entering this competition you agree to Channel 4's competition Terms and Conditions and privacy policy

  • Did a Google search on the names and thought Dandy Nicholls was the old lady from 'til death us do part!

    David 'Dandy' Nicholls is an ex jockey and is now a trainer so the piccie is likely to be him. source

    I've looked through Google images but couldn't find any piccie to match.

    I've gone for Dandy as he's associated with horse racing :D
    Thanks to those that post the comps!!

    All 3 are horse racing trainers.

    I know what they look like now but I'm struggling to think what they would have looked like aged 4!

    Here are 3 clues.

    A. DANDY NICHOLLS
