Rachael Blackmore is hoping to become the first woman to win the opening day's feature.
A Cheltenham Festival like none before gets underway this afternoon.
The Prestbury Park grandstands will be silent and empty as the national hunt showpiece unfolds before them.
Rachael Blackmore is hoping to become the first woman to win the opening day's feature - the Champion Hurdle.
She'll be aboard the favourite Honeysuckle, with the Gary Moore-trained Goshen also in the mix.
The Nicky Henderson-trained Epatante will be defending the title:
That's off at 3.05.
The Willie Mullins-trained Appreciate It is the odds-on favourite for the festival's opening race - the Supreme Novices Hurdle.
Last year's Supreme-winner Shishkin is odds-on to win the Arkle Chase.
The Mares Hurdle and the Ultima Handicap Chase are among today's other attractions, with the first of seven races on soft ground underway at 1.20.
