Cheltenham Festival raises key questions about top horses

The Cheltenham Festival is set to begin, raising key questions about several top horses. Kopek Des Bordes aims for a strong performance in the Supreme, while Majborough is favored in the Arkle after Sir Gino's injury. Constitution Hill seeks to defend his Champion Hurdle title against Brighterdaysahead, who has shown impressive form. The New Lion hopes to break the Challow Hurdle curse in the Turners Novices’ Hurdle, while Ballyburn faces tough competition in the Brown Advisory. Jonbon aims for his first Festival win, and Teahupoo looks to retain his Stayers’ Hurdle crown. Galopin Des Champs seeks a historic Gold Cup hat-trick, with Willie Mullins expected to have a strong showing, potentially surpassing last year's total of nine winners.
