We bring you the Cheltenham results from the first day of the festival. It has been the Wille Mullins and Ruby Walsh show so far, with both Douvan (2/1) and Un De Sceaux (4/6) justifying favouritism. The Druids nephew shortened considerably for the Grand National after winning the 3m1f contest at odds of 8/1.
Willie Mullins and Ruby Walsh still have the highly fancied Annie Power and Faugheen to come. Should they come in it would be the best day for punters in many a year. Bookies on the otherhand are already in fear of suffering heavy losses.
