It's racing heaven on the opening day of the Punchestown Festival - and what a day of racing we have in store.
The Punchestown Festival provides five golden days of quality action - featuring 40 races, including 12 Grade 1s - and attracts many of the biggest names from Ireland and Britain.
The only pity is that there are no spectators there to witness them as the roof may have come off at the Kildare track.
Advert
Monkfish and Envoi Allen have wowed throughout their novice chase campaigns and the duel of the future champions has tongues wagging as something has to fice when the two equine heavyweights collide.
Throw the battle of stablemates Chacun Pour Soi and Allaho into the mix as well and it sets up an eagerly anticipated afternoon where some lofty reputations will crumble, while others will ascend to new heights.
Here are all the results, which will be updated live as they come in.
