Cheltenham Festival Races Day 1

Cheltenham Festival Feature Races

Kauto Star looks the one for the Gold Cup this year as his performance in the the King George was one of his best ever runs and with Denman now looking moody and a poor run in the Aon Chase where he unseated Tony McCoy it looks like Kauto Star has this years race for the taking. The only thing that Paul Nicholls  can do is put blinkers on Denman in the hope that this sharpens him up for the big day.

The Champion Hurdle has just been one of those races this year. Early in the season everyone was beating everyone else and it took a long time for the betting to settle down and when it looked to be taking shape we ave seen all sorts of comings and goings that has thrown more confusion onto a very muddy field. Solwhit looks likely to run having scoped clean at the weekend and travel to Presbury Park. The other doubt  Binocular is going to run. The one constant among all the chaos has been Go Native who followed up his success in the Fighting Fifth in the Christmas Hurdle and will get the 1 million pound bonus on offer if he does win on the opening day of the festival.  Khyber Kim's performance in the Boylesports International looked good at the time but this took a knock with Celestial Halo getting trounced in the Irish Champion Hurdle. Last years winner Punjabi who has been out of sorts all season could be a player following his victory at Kempton late last month.

The Queen Mother looks Mater Minded's once again following his recent win, Twist Magic putting up a very impressive performance in the Tingle Creek and following up in the Victor Chandler Chase. Another who is now a real player in the race is Kalahari King who won the Blue Square Chase and has been well backed for the race.

In the Arkle Chase Sizing Europe and Captain Cee Bee look interesting for the Irish but Somersby could well be the best hope for the home team following his win in the Henry VIII Chase at Sandown.

The Ladbrokes World Hurdle has a clear favourite in Big Bucks who was very impressive in the Long Distance Hurdle on Hennessy Day, and followed up in the Long Walk hurdle and there does not look to be any opposition to the champion stayer.
