Cheltenham Festival 2025 LIVE: Snow falls on Day 2 - latest updates, news, odds and betting tips
Cheltenham Festival 2025 - LIVE!
The action continues at the Cheltenham Festival on day two, which has got off to a very cold start as snow came down at Prestbury Park. It was a thrilling first day to the Festival, with Golden Ace a surprise winner of the Champion Hurdle as Constitution Hill went down earlier and State Man fell at the last when victory appeared to be wrapped up.
The premier two-mile chasers take centre stage today in the Queen Mother Champion Chase. Jonbon is the odds-on favourite for the feature race, with Nicky Henderson's star looking to emulate former stable greats Altior and Sprinter Sacre in winning the race under Nico De Boinville, who has three times tasted victory in it.
Dan Skelton's The New Lion will look to bring British success trends in the opener, the Turners Novices' Hurdle, while Ballyburn is a big favourite for Willie Mullins in the Brown Advisory Novices's Chase. The Cross Country Chase should serve up entertainment as ever, before the card comes to an end with the Champion Bumper. Follow all the action with Standard Sport's LIVE blog below!

William Nunneley, master of foxhounds who became head of stewarding across British racecourses
William Nunneley, who has died aged 77, was a master and huntsman of five packs of foxhounds before rising through the ranks of racing to become the British Horseracing Authority's head of stewarding. His foxhunting career began with mastership of the Tedworth Hunt in 1968 but he is best remembered for the fine sport shown during the 1970s while he was Master of the Morpeth in Northumberland. He was endowed with a great sense of humour, a zest for life, and the mythical common touch, and hunting in his company was always fun. In retirement he became a confidant and mentor to young masters navigating the current choppy waters. Nunneley's long career as a racing official, from part-time judge in 1980 to head of stewarding between 2002 and 2013, also spanned an era of unprecedented change during which the centuries-old Jockey Club ceded governance of racing to the British Horseracing Authority. As head of stewarding, responsible for the practical management of race days, Nunneley was a fixture at every high-profile meeting in the country, from Royal Ascot in June to the Cheltenham Festival in March. He appointed two former jockeys as his deputies, and with their help the transition was made from a system reliant on amateur stewards to professional stipendiaries with a vote on the panel. The rejection of long-standing volunteers inevitably ruffled feathers, but the changes were driven through by a man unafraid to speak his mind. Nunneley preferred a quiet word in an offender's ear to the formality of an official inquiry but there were occasions when the subtle approach would not suffice. In 2011 the French jockey Christophe Soumillon contravened rules introduced a week earlier when he struck his mount once more than permitted during a thrilling finish to the Champion Stakes at Ascot. The stewards were reluctant to implement the forfeiture of his £52,000 prize money but Nunneley insisted on playing by the book, observing: 'The rules have to be obeyed, but if we don't agree they must be changed.' They quickly were. William Nunneley was born on March 23 1948, the second of three children and the only son of sporting parents. His father, Major David Nunneley, was a Gordon Highlander who was captured in Singapore and sent to work on the notorious Siam-Burma railway, an experience from which he never fully recovered. After the war he married Rosemary Whitbread, a keen hunting lady and one-time secretary of the Cotswold Hunt whose grandfather was the sporting artist, Basil Nightingale. William enjoyed a rural upbringing in Gloucestershire, where he helped out at the Cotswold Hunt kennels under the watchful eye of Sir Hugh Arbuthnot, Master of Foxhounds, and broadened his hunting education by whipping-in to Bryan Day with the New Forest beagles. On his return from a working holiday in Zimbabwe, the 20-year-old William announced his intention to take a pack of hounds, somewhat to the dismay of his father, who had anticipated a military career. Masterships of the Tedworth and Morpeth, where he met his first wife, Fiona Grant, were followed by shorter stays with the Bedale and Middleton in North Yorkshire, where the subscribers did not always appreciate their master's patient approach to hunting hounds. On giving up his mastership of the Bramham Moor in 1990, Nunneley married the equine artist and sculptor Caroline Wallace, who was to nurse him through ill-health during the last six months of his life. His Jockey Club appointment as a part-time judge in 1980 was followed by promotion to steward's secretary in 1985 with responsibility for dispensing professional advice to the local amateur stewards who attended every race meeting. His piercing blue eyes, upright bearing and old-school aura led many to assume – wrongly – that this straight-talking official had been recruited from the same military background as many of his colleagues. But beneath the steely exterior lurked a wicked sense of humour. Always a stickler for high standards, he once hauled a recalcitrant and scruffy steward from his West Country farm to Jermyn Street to purchase a respectable off-the-peg tweed suit. The farmer's suit garnered widespread approval but was the source of much hilarity when Nunneley visited years later to find that it had been requisitioned as a bed for his host's gun dogs. In 2002 Nunneley was elevated to senior stipendiary steward, a role that was redefined by the British Horseracing Authority to head of stewarding in 2008, a year after the BHA had assumed full responsibility for the governance of racing. After retirement the Nunneleys spent eight years at Withypool on Exmoor, where they dispensed hospitality to visitors from near and far and William enjoyed following the Devon and Somerset staghounds. Latterly they returned to the county of his childhood, where it was open house to all-comers and a favourite pit stop for the North Cotswold hunt staff on summer hound exercise. A neighbour visiting shortly before Nunneley's death recalled his anxiety lest her glass run dry, and reported that his brilliant sense of humour stayed with him until the end. William Nunneley is survived by his second wife Caroline, by a son, a stepson and a stepdaughter from that marriage, and by a son and two daughters from his first marriage.

Albert Sambi Lokonga exclusive: 'No regrets over Arsenal move but now I want stability'
Albert Sambi Lokonga is unsure exactly what the future holds for him beyond this summer, but he hopes whatever happens the end result is stability. The Arsenal midfielder has just finished his third loan spell in two and a half years after spending last season with Sevilla. Lokonga enjoyed the experience, fulfilling a childhood dream of playing in Spain, but now the season is over attention has turned towards his future. The Belgian's agent has already met with new Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta and the club have taken up the option to extend his contract by a year so that it runs until next summer. 'So the situation is really, really open,' Lokonga tells Standard Sport. 'To talk about my future… I can't say anything, because I really don't know where I will end up. 'I can't say it's tough, because I still have one year on my contract, but it is true that as a player you want to know where you will end up or where you will stay. 'For me, I really don't know what is going to happen - but what I know for sure is I need stability. I need a club where I can stay for two or three years, to play and develop again.' If Lokonga is to leave Arsenal, then his preference would be to stay in Spain. The 25-year-old has enjoyed his time at Sevilla, where both he and his wife have settled in the city. Lokonga learned Spanish quickly, so much so the local music is now on some of his playlists, and the lifestyle has lived up to what he expected. 'It's a country that I could see myself living in after football,' he says. 'Already, before I came here, I was thinking to move to Spain or Portugal. But now it just confirms my opinion that the life here is amazing.' Lokonga has embraced the local culture, admitting he has become a big fan of paella, and he has also got a taste for Spanish football. Growing up, he used to idolise the famous Barcelona midfield of Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets and Xavi. It is why Lokonga always fancied a stint in La Liga and, even in a difficult season for Sevilla, he has performed well. 'I think it is a really good league and a league that suits me,' he says. 'England is way more physical and here it is more technical. 'I am grateful for the experience that I had in London, at Arsenal, because I learnt a lot. It helped me to be the player that I am today and to impose my style here in Spain. 'Personally, I had really good games over here. I think I did a good job with the team, but obviously when the results of the team are not going that well it's a more difficult to shine. 'I really liked it, because I started as a No6. At times I was a No8 and I ended up nearly like a false nine! Unluckily I didn't score, but I think I was very dangerous when I played in this position. 'It was a great experience and it just helped me to become a more complete player. That's what I like, because I had the freedom to move and play in different positions.' After a third loan spell, it would be easy to think that Lokonga regrets his move to Arsenal - but the opposite is the case. The midfielder was just 21 when he joined the Gunners in 2021, leaving his childhood club Anderlecht as part of a deal worth around £15million. Lokonga was a regular during his first season at Arsenal, playing more than he or anyone back in Belgium expected, and he values those 12 months highly. 'At the end of the day, I did well and that was just part of the process,' he says. 'It is not everywhere you are going to go that you are going to succeed. 'When you arrive at a club like Arsenal, you don't have time to adapt. You need to be there directly and to perform. 'With Mikel [Arteta], I learned so much and, for me, he is one of the best coaches I have had in my career. It is how he is in the details, how he is predicting things that can happen on the pitch. He is a leader. 'Spending one year with him, it is like you maybe spend five years with someone else. You learn so much. So if I had to do it again, I would do it again.' Lokonga has similar feelings about his loan spell at Luton, where he spent the 2023-24 season. It was a move that caught many by surprise, but the midfielder was won over by Luton's manager back then Rob Edwards, after the pitch he gave at Lokonga's house. The pair are still contact today and regularly speak via voice notes on WhatsApp. 'I am just in love with him,' says Lokonga, smiling. 'I had one of the best times of my life in Luton, because of the manager, the group we had, the staff, the stadium and I think the fans we had were amazing. Luton is a club that will stay in my heart forever.' Lokonga is now hoping to make new memories and, crucially, put down roots somewhere. Not 26 until October, he still has plenty of years ahead of him and remains ambitious. 'I would like to go to a World Cup with my country, to compete and hopefully bring home a medal,' he says. 'I am 25 now and if I can have three or four trophies in my cabinet [during my career], that will not be too bad. 'I think if you look at my career, I moved for the first time to the UK to Arsenal, then I had a couple of clubs. I think it is time for me to settle and stay in a club, and to be there for a couple of years.'

King Charles teams up with Willie Mullins for Leopardstown runner
King Charles and the Queen are teaming up with the king of horse racing as Willie Mullins will saddle his first runner for His Majesty this week. Reaching High has been moved to Mullins' stables in Co Carlow and runs in a lady riders handicap at Leopardstown on Friday. The four-year-old son of Queen Elizabeth II's Gold Cup winner Estimate will be ridden by Jody Townend, sister of Mullins's stable jockey Paul, who rode her first Cheltenham Festival winner in March. Mullins, the two-time British and 18-time Irish champion trainer, was invited to Windsor Castle for lunch and joined the Royal Procession at Royal Ascot last year. While the royal racing manager, John Warren, described it 'a bit of fun' the serious purpose behind Friday evening's race is to find out if the gelding has the potential to go to Royal Ascot, scene of his dam's greatest victory, in June for a long-distance handicap before embarking on a jumping career. Reaching High did not break any records in any of his eight runs for Sir Michael Stoute, who retired at the end of last year, winning once, at Wolverhampton, from eight starts. 'I think the King and Queen are looking forward to having a horse run in Ireland for the first time and this horse might just be a nice prospect that could develop into a National Hunt horse,' Warren told the Nick Luck Daily Podcast. 'He's out of Estimate, a Gold Cup winner, so stamina might be his game. He was trained very well by Sir Michael Stoute last year and when Sir Michael packed up we thought it would be worthwhile looking at who could do a dual-purpose job for him and the Queen. 'The Queen met William on a number of occasions at Cheltenham and thought he was charming and wonderful and keeps having more and more winners the whole time, so the King and Queen were keen to send him to be trained in Ireland.' Meanwhile, Mullins's flat counterpart, Aidan O'Brien, took the latest step to total annexation of all the major Derby/Oaks trials since the Guineas when Whirl took apart the Tattersalls Musidora Stakes by five-and-a-half lengths at York. Part-owner Michael Tabor said he thought she was a mile-and-a-quarter filly, and that the Prix de Diane might be more her cup of tea than the Oaks over an extra quarter of a mile. Jockey Ryan Moore, however, was very complimentary and hinted she could yet be in the mix for Epsom. 'She was very comfortable stepping up to that trip and was impressive,' he said. 'She is very straightforward and wasn't doing a whole lot in front. She's very professional. By Wootton Bassett she could probably do most things.' On Thursday, O'Brien can complete a unique trials set by winning the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Dante Stakes with The Lion In Winter, the over-winter Derby favourite and the colt touted as Ballydoyle's best Derby hope. Tabor said he would not be backing him on Thursday because he had been a bit behind in his work, although he was going well at home now. That, he added, would not stop him backing him in the Derby nearer the time.
