THE Dublin Racing Festival provided us with plenty of fascinating data, headlined by Majborough and Fact To File, yet the two days seemed to pose more questions than answers as far as Cheltenham is concerned.

The Gold Cup picture remains a foggy one with Fact To File having been taken out of the race and requiring a supplementary entry and the Champion Hurdle picture is as blurred, after the defeat of Lossiemouth, which makes her participation in the Mares’ Hurdle a more likely option.
