There is a slight change in going conditions at Cheltenham ahead of day two of the Cheltenham Festival with the going conditions now being described as Good, good to soft in places as was the case yesterday.

The opening day of the Cheltenham Festival was nothing but action packed. As is the custom, the roar rang through the track when the tapes went up for the Supreme Novices Hurdle and at a ferocious pace, Vautour stormed clear in a very impressive performance to get the powerful stable of Willie Mullins off the board early on.

Jezki claimed a very dramatic running of the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham in a head bobbing finish up the hill, just getting the better of My Tent Or Yours in a 1-2 for owner, JP McManus writes BETDAQ’s JOHN SHERIDAN.

The Queen Mother Champion Chase is the highlight on day 2 of the Cheltenham Festival and although it does not look to be a vintage renewal as in previous years, there is a decent field assembled including long time favourite Sire De Grugy and former winner Sizing Europe.
