the paul nicholls trained grey, ridden by harry skelton led from the outset of the queen mother champion chase with no one coming close. another nicholls horse, dynamite dollars with harry cobden on board, was 2nd. i fancy both horses, ifancy both horses, actually. he's brilliant. they had a good preparation, i was very happy. it was a good performance today. it was very close to winning, he was in a better place. unbelievable. several jockey stoking the look to the right and looking at the fans here and across the line in front. barely saw another eye the whole way and he jumps and galloped and was very brave.
10:43 pm
there have been concerns about the festival not going ahead over the coronavirus. i think ithinka i think a lot of fans are relieved that this festival is happening. i think a lot will work fearing the worst last week, but the is clearly large concern about coronavirus here. there are signs to wash her hands everywhere, there are 2a hand sanitizing stations dotted around the course. concerns also about attendances. yesterday's crowds down 7000 on the opening day last year. today's second day crowd is down just 2000 on last year's second a crowd. around 57,000 fans here today and bearing in mind all the uncertainty and the build—up to the festival around coronavirus. you suspect that the organisers will be pretty satisfied with that. golf's player's championship starts

10:45 pm
ahead to the next four days of play there. it was brilliant for warring mcelroy to 12 months ago but he's looking to make history because no player has successfully defended that title. lou no, it's extraordinary, given the long history the great champions that have one that no one has successfully defended the title. have one that no one has successfully defended the titlem his favour is the fact that his build—up to this year is very similarto build—up to this year is very similar to last year, a string of near misses on the pga tour. finishing in the top five in every event that he's played this year, but not challenging on sundays which isa but not challenging on sundays which is a source of frustration for him. this champions is so difficult to predict. last year mcilroy was the winner but by only a single shot. it can suit any different way of playing the game and that makes it extremely difficult to predict who's going to
