Welcome to The Edge on day two of the Cheltenham Festival. Hopefully you came through day one on the right side.
As ever, the lessons from the day are a bit of a contradiction. Times showed the ground was quicker than advertised, basically good according to our assessments, but then the one horse Nicky Henderson thought would find it too quick (Holloway Queen) won the National Hunt Chase.
It was also a quietly good day for Dan Skelton. Madara showed he is one of the best plot-up trainers around, as Keith Melrose has pointed out that was Langer Dan-esque. Incidentally, Keith also has a fancy for the Gold Cup- in 2027! The man is chronic with these staying chasers. He is in this slot tomorrow and I'm sure he will have views on the 4m race at Hexham.
