The 2022 Cheltenham Festival kicks off today with seven races taking place at the famous Prestbury Park racecourse.
The Champion Hurdle is the feature contest as Rachael Blackmore aims to win the Grade 1 contest for a second year running on board Honeysuckle for Waterford trainer Henry de Bromhead.
The supermare has won all 14 of her races to date and there will be a huge roar from the Cotswalds crowd if she makes it 15 this afternoon.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Novices' Hurdle kicks off the action at 1.30pm, with Dysart Dynamo and Constitution Hill set to battle it out for favouritism.
Here's a full list of runners and riders for day one, along with a tip for each race:
