Horses go out on the early morning gallops on the first day of the four-day Cheltenham Festival in Gloucestershire

Prince William and Kate Middleton arrive in good time for the opening race, the Supreme Novices Hurdle at 1400 GMT

The Festival opens with a cracker - favourite Amaretto Rose (left) is put under pressure by Ebaziyan and Granit Jack

And 40-1 outsider Ebaziyan edges clear up the Cheltenham hill to give jockey Davy Condon his first Festival win

My Way de Solzen (7-2) romps to an impressive five-length win in the Arkle ahead of 10-3 favourite Fair Along

Favourite Detroit City is off the pace in the Champion Hurdle leaving Sublimity, Brave Inca and Hardy Eustace in the lead

And Phillip Carberry rides Sublimity to a surprise win - the 14-1 shot comes in ahead of Brave Inca and Afsoun

The victory ensures Philip joins siblings Paul and Nina Carberry in the record books having won a race at the Festival

An already good day for the bookmakers gets even better when 50-1 outsider Joes Edge takes the William Hill Trophy

Nina Carberry adds to brother Phillip's success with victory in the penultimate race on 5-2 favourite Heads Onthe Ground

And the Martin Pipe-owned Gaspara lives up to its favourite tag in the Novices Hurdle with Andrew Glassonbury on board
