Punchestown Festival Day 1: Runners & Riders

There is Grade 1 action aplenty on day one of the Punchestown Festival.

The feature race on Tuesday is the Champion Chase where recent Cheltenham Festival hero Il Etait Temps will bang heads with last year's winner Marine Nationale and the enigmatic Majborough.

Elsewhere on the card, punters can look forward to two more Grade 1 events in the form of the Champion Novice Hurdle and Champion Novice Chase where El Cairos and Kitzbuhel can both be seen in action.

As well as the top level events, the Goffs Defender Bumper is usually an informative contest with a view to the future and has a roll of honour that includes the likes of Predators Gold, Commander Of Fleet and Petit Mouchoir.
