Well, well, well. The big money was on Douvan, but Ruby Walsh's ride never really looked comfortable.

Special Tiara led early on and managed to hang on under pressure from Fox Norton at the finish.

Douvan, it turns out, is not invincible. 

Full result

1 Special Tiara (Noel Fehily) 11-1

2 Fox Norton (Aidan Coleman) 7-1 

3 Sir Valentino (PJ Brennan) 33-1 

Special Tiara wins the Queen Mother Champion Chase for jockey Noel Fehily and trainer Henry De Bromhead.

And they are off in the Queen Mother Champion Chase - the feature race on day two of the Cheltenham Festival.

As you may have seen earlier, someone has put £500,000 on Douvan to win at odds of 1-5 to win. If the odds-on favourite wins, they will land £100,000.

I wonder how they are feeling now!

Trainer Kerry Lee saddles Top Gamble in the Queen Mother Champion Chase at 15:30 GMT after owners paid £17,500 to enter the race late on.

I don't think too many of us realistically think we can beat Douvan, but everything is a probability here. There are still fences to jump," she tells 5 Live.

"There are a lot of trainers coming here with more festival runners than I train horses, so to have a horse big enough to compete in a big race is important for our stable."

Katie Walsh on BBC Radio 5 live: "You have to ride to win, you don't know what Douvan is going to do. There is no point in thinking about second or third place, but within reason.

"You cannot make your horse go faster than it can, so you have to get into a rhythm."

For this feature race on day two, the odds-on favourite, trained by Willie Mullins and ridden by Ruby Walsh comes here with nine wins out of nine over fences. 

Mullins and Walsh have yet to win a race at this year's festival - can they get off the mark in this one?

One interesting note is that despite his many successes, Mullins has never won this race. 

The likes of God’s Own and Fox Norton look likely to battle it out for the minor places.

We're getting closer to the 15:30 start time for the Queen Mother Champion Chase and the horse whose name is on everyone's lips is the impressive Douvan.

Watch as The Super League Show previews round five of the season, as unbeaten sides Castleford and Wigan face Salford and Huddersfield respectively.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, who takes charge of his 100th game in Europe, has no new injury concerns for tonight's game in Monaco as City look to hold on to their 5-3 lead.

Striker Gabriel Jesus (foot) and midfielder Ilkay Gundogan (knee) are the only senior absentees.

Captain Vincent Kompany will hope to feature for only the second time since November.

Monaco's Radamel Falcao, who scored twice in the first leg, remains a doubt after suffering a hip injury in the latter stages of Saturday's 2-1 Ligue 1 victory over Bordeaux.

World Cup winner Mario Gotze has been ruled out for the rest of the season as he recovers from a  "metabolic disorder"  but is expected to be "fully fit" for the start of next term.

The Germany and Borussia Dortmund midfielder, 24, has been limited to nine Bundesliga starts because of muscular problems since  re-signing  from Bayern Munich last summer.

Gotze is on a rehabilitation programme and could be training by early summer, but it depends on how he responds to treatment,  said the German club., external

Dortmund added: "The long-term target for the player is to be fully fit and ready to play for the start of next season."

Right then, the next race is a biggie, it's the Queen Mother Champion Chase at 15:30 GMT.

Before that, a quick browse around the sporting world...

Supasundae, absolutely fabulous.

He's been able to break away from them before the last which is always fantastic.

It wasn't a particularly quickly run race, which probably suited the horses in front.

Supasundae was nicely placed throughout and found himself clear of the field at the top of the hill and was a comfortable winner.

Jockey Power's only previous Cheltenham Festival win was on Boston Angel in the 2011 RSA Chase.

Harrington, who also trained Boston Angel is celebrating her ninth Festival success and her first since Jezki in the 2014 Champion Hurdle.
