Punters got off to the perfect start at Prestbury Park on Tuesday as Willie Mullins dominated the opening two races on Day 1.
Douvan (2/1) annihilated his rivals in the Supreme and as a result earned a quote of 6/1 for the 2016 Champion Hurdle with 4/1 on offer for him to win the 2016 Arkle if he goes down the chasing route.
Faugheen then wounded BoyleSports further by giving Willie Mullins a 1-2-3 in the Champion Hurdle and his third winner of the day. Faugheen is now 6/4 to retain his Champion Hurdle crown in 2016.
Punters are certainly on top after day one with Willie Mullins dominating Prestbury Park with four winners but it could have been a lot worse if Annie Power hadn’t tipped over at the last hurdle.
Faugheen was by far the best backed horse of the day having been supported in from 6/4 into odds on but the Cheltenham Festival is a marathon not a sprint and we will enter Day 2 to have another battle with the punters.

Un De Sceaux jumped foot perfectly to justify his 4/6 price and win the Arkle and as a result is now the 2/1 favourite for the 2016 Queen Mother Champion Chase.""
