rte.ie

The Cheltenham Festival has begun, with the Champion Hurdle as the main event on Day 1. Constitution Hill, the favorite, aims to reclaim his status after a year off due to health issues. His main competitor is Brighterdaysahead, who has shown strong form. State Man, last year's winner, is seen as an underdog compared to the two favorites. He has had a mixed season, raising questions about his current form. Lossiemouth, another anticipated runner, will compete in a different race, disappointing some fans. Trainer Willie Mullins has multiple entries, including Kopek Des Bordes, who has improved since his last race. Majborough, another of his horses, is also expected to perform well in the Arkle. The festival promises exciting races ahead.
