1:20 Triumph Hurdle Tips

Best Bet: Highland Crystal

The Gordon Elliott-trained Highland Crystal arrives unbeaten over hurdles and has already shown Grade 1 level ability.

Selma De Vary and Proactif both represent strong Mullins contenders, but Highland Crystal’s progressive profile makes her the most appealing option.


2:00 County Handicap Hurdle Tips

Best Bet: Karbau

This race has been dominated by Willie Mullins and Dan Skelton runners, and Karbau looks another strong contender from the Mullins yard.

Sinnatra and Murcia also look interesting in a typically competitive handicap.


2:40 Mares' Chase Tips

Best Bet: Dinoblue

Bet this tip at Betfred

The defending champion Dinoblue sets the clear standard and arrives in excellent form.

Panic Attack and Diva Luna look the main dangers if the favourite fails to produce her best.


3:20 Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle Tips

Best Bet: King's Bucks

Claim Spreadex Offer

The Henry De Bromhead-trained King's Bucks has strong Cheltenham form and looks well suited to the stamina test.

Doctor Steinberg and Thedeviluno are likely to be major contenders.


4:00 Cheltenham Gold Cup Tips

NAP: Haiti Couleurs

Best Odds at Betfred

The progressive Haiti Couleurs looks ideally suited to the demands of the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

Jango Baie and The Jukebox Man appear the biggest dangers, while Gaelic Warrior also commands respect.


4:40 Hunters' Chase Tips

Best Bet: Con's Roc

The lightly raced Con's Roc could still have plenty of improvement and looks an interesting contender in this year's Hunters' Chase.

Its On The Line has finished runner-up in the last three runnings and should be competitive again.


5:20 Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle Tips

Best Bet: Wendrock

Claim Spreadex Cheltenham Offer

The Gordon Elliott-trained Wendrock looks a horse with significant improvement potential returned to 2m4f.

Kel Histoire and Andashan also look strong contenders.
