Top horses to follow on Day 2 of Cheltenham Festival
Top horses to follow on Cheltenham Festival: Day 2
Brown Advisory Novices' Chase (14:10) - FACT TO FILE
Bred by Michel Pehu, Fact To File is a 7-year-old bay gelding trained by the highly successful W.P Mullins, whose recent stable statistics show an impressive win rate of 41%. Owned by the prominent John P. McManus, Fact To File boasts a strong pedigree. He was sired by Poliglote (GB), known for producing horses that excel over distances of 11.9 furlongs. His dam, Mitemps (FR), was sired by Trempolino (USA), a stallion recognized for siring horses that perform well over distances of 11.8 furlongs.
Fact To File could continue Mullins' excellent start to day two in the Brown Advisory. The seven-year-old was excellent at the Dublin Racing Festival on his previous start, beating a sub-par Gaelic Warrior in the G1 Ladbrokes Novice Chase.

Glenfarclas Chase (16.10) - Minella Indo
Minella Indo is an 11-year-old bay gelding trained by the accomplished Henry De Bromhead. Owned by Barry Maloney, Minella Indo boasts a strong bloodline.

His dam, Carrigeen Lily (IRE), was sired by Supreme Leader (GB), recognized for horses excelling over 12.5 furlongs. Bred by Mrs. R H Lalor, Minella Indo has a proven track record, including a notable win in the 2021 Cheltenham Gold Cup.
Minella Indo made a pleasing first start over the Cross Country course at Cheltenham in December, eventually finishing fourth despite carrying top weight. He is a proven performer at the Festival, having previously landed the Gold Cup and Albert Bartlett.

Weatherbys Champion Bumper (17:30) - YOU OUGHTA KNOW
Bred by P Reynolds, You Oughta Know is a 6-year-old bay gelding trained by the highly successful W.P. Mullins. Owned by Luke McMahon, You Oughta Know has a promising pedigree. He was sired by Beat Hollow (GB), a stallion known for horses that perform well over distances of 10.7 furlongs. His dam, Pont De Alma (FR), was sired by Soldier Of Fortune (IRE), recognized for producing horses excelling over 12.1 furlongs.
Danny Mullins takes the ride on You Oughta Know. The six-year-old was a strong finisher when second at the Dublin Racing Festival in February, and he looks great value to build on that first effort after a break of 181 days. Has won two from three under rules.
