With the notable exception of sun, day two of the Cheltenham Festival had a bit of everything.

There was a first Champion Chase success for Willie Mullins, first festival winners for Gordon Elliott since his return from the suspension imposed after a picture of the trainer sitting on a dead horse emerged on social media, and there was rain. Oh, was there rain.
