The Festival kicked off with the Michael O’Sullivan Supreme Novices’s Hurdle, renamed in honour of the jockey who won the race two years ago but died following a fall last month, and Kopek Des Bordes delivered for Paul Townend and Willie Mullins. Majborough is a big favourite in the Arkle Chase, while Lossiemouth will take some beating in the Mares Hurdle. Follow all the action with Standard Sport’s LIVE blog below!
