READ Timeform’s review of day one and their thoughts before day two
GAELIC WARRIOR obtained the Festival battle — and the battle of the ratings on Day One.
Willie Mullins’ runner attach up the greatest performance by a amateur chaser this season when storming dwelling within the Arkle.
1
He earned a rating of 167+ and now has Grade 1 wins to his name at two miles, three miles and in between. He is clearly extraordinarily versatile and something smartly out of the customary.
Gaelic Warrior has now handed Timeform’s threshold for a high-class chaser — 165 — but his salvage did no longer match that of El Fabiolo (175p) last season.
The phobia for bookies today is the horse who had Gaelic Warrior beaten when he unseated at Leopardstown runs today.
That is FACT TO FILE (2.10) who tops the ratings for the Brown Advisory Rookies’ Whisk and is a category act. He is expected to salvage.
EL FABIOLO (3.30) is one other of Mullins’ sharpest bullets to fire and this could well maybe rob a mettlesome man to again towards him.
His Timeform rating of 176p is easiest bettered by Galopin Des Champs (181) and Energumene (180) over fences.
El Fabiolo’s vital rival today is Jonbon (173). He is a high-class chaser in his bag moral but El Fabiolo is unbeaten in six starts over fences and looked better than ever when hardly ever ever popping out of third tools last outing.
Jonbon’s trainer Nicky Henderson also had a really restful opening day and his workforce are beneath a cloud.

By the time El Fabiolo struts his stuff the bookies might per chance well maybe smartly be quaking in their boots.
BALLYBURN (1.30) is the greatest amateur hurdler around and had his form boosted yesterday when Slade Steel — seven lengths within the again of him at Leopardstown — changed into a solid winner of the Supreme.
Ballyburn has a wide 12lb profit over his nearest rival, Jingko Blue, within the Gallagher Rookies’ Hurdle on Timeform’s ratings.
Perhaps there’ll most definitely be one for the dwelling workforce within the Coral Cup as Henderson’s DODDIETHEGREAT (2.50) changed into a wide eyecatcher within the Betfair Hurdle.
He made honest late headway from an unpromising space and might per chance well maybe devour the longer shuttle.
