Day 1 will be remembered for the victory of Katchit in the Champion Hurdle and he has done the double of winning the Triumph and the Champion Hurdle in successive years, winning the later at the tender age of 5, which is a rare thing indeed. There is so much to look forward to in the remaining 2 days with the Cheltenham Gold Cup the feature of this years festival with Kauto Star looking to repeat his success in 2007 and his only likely opposition this year is stable mate Denman.
