The long -awaited first day of Cheltenham festival is almost here and until this moment tomorrow we will hear the roar and the races will be ongoing.
As you would expect, a set line is set up that will open four days showing the best in British and Irish cavalry races.
A significant race is an obstacle to the champion at 4 pm with the Hill Constitution in action.
Nicky Henderson’s charge won the 2023 race, but missed the meeting last year because of a bug that picked up through stable government.
It will not be easy for him, although he was also expecting to challenge last
Card
1,20 – Supreme Novak United Michael O’Sullivan (1st grade)
Kopek des Bordes is an overwhelming favorite and can even come in as a chance.
Coach Willie Mullins, who has dominated the festival in recent years, says he is one of the best he has. If this is the case, you should win the canteen.
2.00 – Chase Arkle Novices (1st grade)
Majborough is a favorite bookmaker, but a lot of advisers are going for L’Eau du court.
If Majborough jumps well, he wins if not …
2.40 – handicap chase (degree 3)
Broadway Boy runs the market, but the race looks pretty open.
Dori cadets could be watching Kempton impressed last time.
3.20 – Obstacle of mare (grade 1)
Mulins has favorites here in Lossiemouth.
She fell on her last trip, but it was discarded as a rush and it would be a big surprise if she didn’t decline strongly.
4.00 – Champion’s obstacle (1st grade)
It is difficult to see a state man repeating his success 12 months ago, leading us to a race with two horses between the Constitutional Hill and Werterdaysahead.
Werterdaysahead is our advice, but it should be a fantastic battle.

4.40 – Handicap obstacle (degree 3)
Sabbathy is well thought out, but the overall look will cause it, as is it beyond your dreams.
5.20 – national chasing
The last race of the day, at least on the market, runs Haiti Couleurs.
Watch out for good in accordance with a good bet.
Best British bookmaker for the first day
Time
Cool but dry, is the latest prognosis.
Departure is likely to be well soft if the expected drops come later today.
