Beat stable companion Gala Marceau by an impressive 7 1/2 lengths to win the Grade 2 Knight Frank Juvenile Hurdle on the opening day of the Festival. Now priced as 6/4 favourite for the JCB Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham.Lossiemouth

Too good for both Fil Dor and Hollow Games in winning the Grade 1 Racing Post Novice Chase by 2 1/4 lengths. Currently at odds of 14/1 for what is shaping up to be an ultra-competitive renewal of the Arkle at Cheltenham, and 16/1 for the Turner Novices' Chase over two-and-a-half miles.Saint Roi

Always looked comfortable in the Paddy Power Beginners' Chase, but his victory became a routine one when Slip Of The Tongue fell, and ran on to win by a massive 24 lengths. Shortened to 6/1 for the Arkle as a result.Dysart Dynamo

Ran out an 11-length winner of the Grade 1 Paddy's Rewards Club Chase, leaving Captain Guinness and Chacun Pour Soi in his wake. Now a 7/1 shot for the Champion Chase, behind Energumene and Edwardstown in the antepost betting.Blue Lord

Lived up to his pre-race odds of 2/9 in the Grade 1 Paddy Power Future Champions Novice Hurdle with a win that was more comfortable than the four-length margin suggested. Already the even-money favourite for the Supreme Novices' Hurdle.Facile Vega

Came into the Grade 1 Jack de Bromhead Christmas Hurdle slightly under the radar, but stayed on best over the three miles to beat his more fancied rivals by three lengths. Now 6/1 joint-favourite for the Stayers Hurdle at Cheltenham.Home By The Lee

Powered home in the Grade 1 Neville Hotels Novice Chase after his main danger Three Stripe Life suffered a fatal fall two out. Currently the 6/1 favourite for the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase.Gaillard Du Mesnil

Impressively led home a Willie Mullins 1-2-3 in the Grade 1 Matheson Hurdle. Unbeaten in his last five, and now inarguably Constitution Hill's biggest rival for the Champion Hurdle. Currently second in the antepost betting at 4/1.State Man
