After a cracking first day at Cheltenham yesterday we are back underway with a real sense of déjà vu. After today's opener it's the Willie and Ruby show again with Faugheen taking the opener.

1330 Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle - Result
1 Faugheen 6-4F
2 Ballyalton 20-1
3 Rathvinden 11-2

The six-year-old horse maintained his 100 per cent record as he swept to the front after three out and pulled clear of the opposition.

Faugheen was the 6-4 favourite. Afterwards Walsh said: "He had a look at the second-last and I upped the revs. Willie said all along that there was a lot under the bonnet and he was right. He's a smashing horse."

In case the fashion hasn't given it away, today is Ladies' Day at Cheltenham.
