The two big races today are the RSA Chase and the Queen Mother Chase and all eyes will be on Ruby Walsh today as his odds for Top Rider of the festival have been slashed to 2/7 after his fantastic day, yesterday. But so much depends on the going…
And, according to the clerk of the course, Simon Claisse, day two of Cheltenham may ride marginally quicker than the opening day of the festival. Claisse on Wednesday morning reported the going unchanged at good, good to soft in places after the course received only light rain overnight.
“We had a light bit of rain overnight but not appreciable enough to measure. It may be marginally quicker but essentially it will be much like yesterday,” said Claisse. He added: “I was pleasantly surprised by how much moisture was retained on Tuesday and I’ve been delighted with the feedback from trainers and jockeys.”
