King Rascro Grey wins the first race of the day at 11/1. Willie Mullins has another winner, with Paul Townend the jockey in his 40th Cheltenham victory.

In a race where Paul Nicholls’ 5-2 favourite No Drama This End could never make his presence felt and was ultimately pulled up, it was Nicky Henderson’s Act Of Innocence who carried British hopes on his shoulders heading into the home straight locked in battle with the Mullins raider.

However, he proved no match for the talented six-year-old, who relished every yard of the Cheltenham hill to come home two and a half lengths clear to give Townend his 40th Festival winner and also provide a welcome tonic for owner Audrey Turley after Galopin Des Champs was ruled out of the Gold Cup.

Act of Innocence comes in second, and in a scramble for their third, it looks like Zeus Power has got it.

Welcome to our live blog for the second day of Cheltenham.

The feature for the day is the Champion Chase at 4pm, where JP McManus and Willie Mullins’ Majborough is the favourite to win.

There are six other races throughout the day, starting with the Turners Novices’ Hurdle at 1.20pm.

Here is the schedule for the day.
