The long-awaited first day of the Cheltenham Festival is almost there and up to this point we will hear the roar and the race will be in progress.
As expected, it is a stacked line -up that opens up for four days that is the best in British and Irish horse races.
The feature race is the Champion hurdle at 4 p.m. with constitution Hill in action.
Nicky Henderson’s indictment won the race in 2023, missed the meeting last year because he passed the stable of his owner.
However, he will not find it easy if the winner of the past year and the well -funded frying seam also expects the challenge.
Map
1.20 – hurdle by Michael O’Sullivan Supreme Novices (class 1)
Kopek of the on -board is the overwhelming favorite and can even go out as a chance of opportunities.
Trainer Willie Mullins, who has dominated the festival in recent years, says he is one of the best he has. If this is the case, he should win over a rank.
2.00 – Chase from Arkle Novices (class 1)
Majborough is the favorite of the bookmakers, but many tipsters choose L’Eau du Sud.
If Majborough jumps well, he wins, if not …
2.40 – Handicap Chase (class 3)
Broadway Boy leads the market, but the race looks pretty open.
Catate Dori could be one who was impressed by Kemton last time.
3.20 – hurdle of Mares (class 1)
Mullins has the favorite here in Losssiemouth.
On her last trip, but that was dismissed as Blip and it would be a big surprise if she didn’t hit back strongly.
4.00 – Champion Hurdle (class 1)
It is difficult to see that the statesman repeats his success from 12 months ago, which leads us to a two-horse race between Constitution Hill and BringerDaysahead.
BitterDaysahead is our tip, but it should be a fantastic battle.

Schablon is well asked, but it will look totally challenging, as is her dreams.
5.20 – National Hunt Chase
The last race of the day is at least managed on the Haiti Cougeurs market.
Keep an eye on the knowledge of a good bet.
Best British bookmaker for the first day
Weather
Chilly, but dry is the latest forecast.
Walking will probably be good to soft if the expected drizzle comes later.
