It's Queen Mother Champion Chase day and all eyes will be on Shiskin and Energumene but don't rule out Chacun Pour Soi who has yet to show his very best at the Cheltenham Festival, but this would be some day to do it! It is set up for a brilliant race.
Yesterday Honeysuckle was at her imperious best on claiming another Champion Hurdle and I'm delighted for Rachael Blackmore and Henry De Bromhead of course although I'm sure it didn't help the bookmakers given they have such a huge fan club now. The pair of them had to work hard and fight a few of the rivals off but she did it in grand style with a clean and quick jump at the final flight.
I was also delighted to see Stattler confirm what I thought of him for Patrick Mullins in the NH Chase, a super ride and a welcome winner on a frustrating day perhaps for the Willie Mullins team where the margins at Championship level are always so tight.
