Latest Cheltenham Festival odds: Five things we learned from the Dublin Racing Festival

The Dublin Racing Festival took place at Leopardstown over the weekend. Willie Mullins won six of the eight Grade 1 races. Honeysuckle won the Irish Champion Hurdle for the third successive season. Henry De Bromhead's stable star is on course to retain her Champion hurdles crown in March.

Conflated is the favourite for the Gold Cup at Cheltenham. He won the Irish Gold cup at Leopardstown. Minella Indo was the runner-up. Conflation needs to get lucky to win the event. He has never been to Prestbury Park before.

Vauban and Pied Piper are going to meet in the JCB Triumph Hurdle at the 2022 Cheltenham Festival. The pair were separated by half a length at Punchestown in December. Vaubans won the Spring Juvenile Hundle on Saturday.

Facile Vega won the Goffs Future Stars at Dublin Racing Festival on Saturday. He's an odds-on chance for the Champion Bumper in March. However, the festival contest has not been kind to favourite backers in recent years. Willie Mullins has won it twice in the last decade.

Chacun Pour Soi won the Dublin Chase for the third year in succession on Sunday. He will be the horse to beat in the Queen Mother Champion Chase. Chacuna has travelled over the Irish Sea twice and failed to deliver. This is the strongest edition of the Champion Chase for a while.

Sir Gerhard won't win a Supreme Novices' Hurdle jumping like he did at Leopardstown. He won by six lengths, but he was sloppy and his rivals were stronger. Reach is committed to promoting safer gambling. All content and recommended bets are advised to those aged 18 or over.
