Cheltenham Festival Day Two tips as Monty's Star napped and Edwardstone looks solid for Champion Chase
MONTY'S STAR (2:10) can take command in the Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase on Day 2 of the Cheltenham Festival. Henry de Bromhead’s raider looks tailor-made for the demands of this tough three-mile Grade 1. The gelding was a quality novice hurdler who showed class and grit to land a Grade 3 at Clonmel. He was clearly feeling the effects of that run when pulled-up in the Albert Bartlett here next time. Despite those efforts, the strapping seven-year-old’s future always lay over the larger obstacles. He was certainly an eye-catcher when third to Corbetts Cross over 2m 5f on debut at Fairyhouse. The bay delivered on that promise when caning Three Card Brag over three miles at Punchestown. The chaser jumped and travelled very professionally once again so he can deny some exciting foes.

The Karnataka skier, who is also a mountaineer with decent credentials, completed a hattrick of gold medals in Nordic skiing at the iconic Gulmarg Golf Course on Saturday. Bhavani's consistency in this edition of the Games, where the technical parameters have been directly managed by the Sports Authority of India, impressed no other than six-time Winter Olympian Shiva Keshavan, who thinks there is a lot to achieve for Indian snow sport athletes, given the fantastic conditions available in Gulmarg.
