Cheltenham Festival 2015: Day Two live including results
17:15 – Weatherbys Champion Bumper
Favourite Moon Racer (9/2) stopped Mullins’ contingent in this National Hunt flat race. Modus (33/1) and Wait For Me (9/1) were placed.
16:40 – Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle
Qualando (25/1) and Bouvreuil (14/1) do a one-two for Nicholls here. The Saint James (33/1) and Starchitect (16/1) were placed, as favourite Arabian Revolution (7/1) flopped.
Treble for Paul Nicholls as Qualando wins Fred Winter Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham. Mullins 5-3 Nicholls. Did that bookie pay too early?

16:00 – Glenfarclas Cross Country Handicap Chase
Rivage D’Or, a 16/1 shot, triumphed ahead of Any Currency (7/1). Uncle Junior and Dogora (both 20/1) completed the places. Fancied pair Duke of Lucca and Sire Collognes disappointed.
Tony Martin: "You need a horse that's agile, has good speed and wants to attack fences. Rivage D'Or just does that." pic.twitter.com/WkoILruKmj

13:30 – Neptune Investment Novices’ Hurdle
Windsor Park (backed in from 5/1 to 9/2 SP) romped home, after Beast of Burden made most of the running up until the last. Favourite Nichols Canyon (7/2) came in third for Ruby Walsh and Willie Mullins behind 13/2 chance Parlour Games, ridden by AP McCoy.
14:05 – RSA Chase
Don Poli, the 13/8 favourite, took this one comfortably, giving Mullins yet another Festival winner, ahead of Southfield Theatre (13/2) and Wounded Warrior (12/1). The Ould Lad was a non-runner, but the other eight horses raced.
Phil Jones might have a few quid on by the looks of it….
