THE day one Cheltenham Festival declarations have been made – and it looks like being an absolute cracker on Tuesday.
All the big guns stood their ground – with the Ballyburn saga finally ended as he was not declared for the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle.

Willie Mullins will saddle Tullyhill, Mystical Power, Supersundae, Mistergif, Gold Dancer and Asian Master in the opener.
As first reported by Sun Racing, Gaelic Warrior was declared for the Arkle with Paul Townend in the saddle.
While the same duo will look to land the Champion Hurdle with State Man in the absence of Constitution Hill.
Lossiemouth was not declared for that race while Gordon Elliott declared Irish Point.
The declarations were made as Cheltenham’s going was officially eased to soft from good to soft, soft in places.
The worst of the rain is expected tonight, while 7mm hit the track on Saturday night.
