Cheltenham Festival 2023 LIVE: Results and reaction as Energumene and Delta Work deliver on Ladies’ Day

Cheltenham Festival LIVE!

It was another enjoyable at Prestbury Park, even if the Greatest Show on Turf didn’t quite reach Tuesday’s heights, when Constitution Hill made sure his hype was justified with a nine-length win in the feature race before Honeysuckle signed off her stunning career with an emotional Mares Hurdle victory under jockey Rachael Blackmore.

Day two was headlined by the Champion Chase at 3.30pm as Energumene defended his crown for Willie Mullins. Edwardstone, last year's Arkle winner, was never in the race. Before that, in the Novices' Hurdle, Impaire Et Passe roared to victory as Hermes Allen, part-owned by Sir Alex Ferguson, disappointed.

Elsewhere, The Real Whacker took the Brown Advisory, while Langer Dan won the Coral Cup. Delta Work defended his Cross Country Chase crown and Maskada gave Henry de Bromhead victory in the Grand Annual Chase, before 18-year-old John Gleeson rode A Dream To Share to victory in the Champion Bumper. Follow all the action from Prestbury Park with our dedicated blog below!
