Cheltenham 2021 day 2 full race card and tips - list of runners Wednesday

The Champion Chase takes centre stage on day two of the Cheltenham Festival as Willie Mullins aims to win the race for the first time.

The Carlow trainer is responsible for odds-on favourite Chacun Pour Soi, who was taken out of the Grade 1 contest last year after suffering a stone bruise on the morning of the race.

He has been impressive in his three starts this season and should be very hard to beat in today's feature, which is one of seven races taking place.

Here's the full race card for day two, including Peter O'Hehir's tip for each race:
