The Champion Chase is the feature race on day two of the Cheltenham Festival, where the Irish will look to add to an opening day tally of 5 winners.
Trainer Willie Mullins, who has never won the 2 mile showpiece, saddles the favourite ‘Chacun Pour Soi.
Mullins also has strong claims elsewhere on the card with ‘Monkfish’ in the 3 mile novices chase and ‘Kilcruit’ in the bumper.
The going is good to soft for the first of seven races at 1.20.
Tipperary’s Rachael Blackmore will look for more success in that first race, the Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle, where she rides the favourite, Bob Olinger for Waterford trainer Henry De Bromhead.
