Willie Mullins' formidable battalion was quickly into its stride after arriving at Cheltenham ahead of the Festival.
Stan James Champion Hurdle favourite Faugheen enjoyed a breeze at the track in the hands of regular work rider John Codd, while the incredible Hurricane Fly who will join his younger stable companion in Tuesday's feature event, stretched his legs.
The opening day promises to be huge for the Mullins team, with the highly-touted Douvan who was given gentle exercise by Gail Carlisle, all the rage for the opening Sky Bet Supreme Novices' Hurdle. Un De Sceaux is odds-on across the board for the Arkle Trophy, as is Annie Power for the OBLG Mares' Hurdle, and they, too, were seen in action against the backdrop of Cleeve Hill.
Some of Gordon Elliott's team also took to the gallops on Sunday morning.
