Cheltenham Festival - ITV Racing Tips

The Racing Post experts pick their best bet for the day for the second day of the Cheltenham Festival, to help you find more winners.

Stayers’ Hurdle Tip -

It’s one-way traffic with Paisley Park practically unstoppable. The biggest danger is getting to the front too soon. We’ve seen him prick his ears and idle on the run-in in the Cleeve, and Aidan Coleman will need to have his wits about him. (Cathal Gahan).

Ryanair Tip -

A Plus Tard looked the real deal over fences when beating Chacun Pour Soi at Leopardstown over the festive period and he can record a second Cheltenham Festival success. Last year’s Close Brothers scorer arrives here fresh and is a worthy favourite. (Jack Haynes)

Cheltenham Festival - ITV7 Tips

The ITV7 competition is back for the Cheltenham Festival and will roll over each day if the jackpot is not won. The Racing Post experts make their selections for the competition.

Race 1 - 1.30 Cheltenham

Itchy Feet

Preference is for last year's Supreme Novices' Hurdle third Itchy Feet, who impressed with his powerful finish in the Grade 1 Scilly Isles Novices' Chase at Sandown last time out.

Race 2 - 1.55 Hexham

Keep The River

She was travelling like a winner when unseating last time and is in here off the same mark.

Race 3 - 2.10 Cheltenham

Dream Berry

The Jonjo O'Neill-trained Dream Berry could be a lively one at inflated odds, after showing some of his old spark at Sandown in December. He's very able when fresh.

Race 4 - 2.50 Cheltenham

A Plus Tard

A Plus Tard is a formidable opponent who has fast-tracked his way to the top since winning the Close Brothers Novices' Handicap Chase here 12 months ago and, still only a six-year-old, is been by no means the finished article yet.

Race 5 - 3.05 Doncaster

Uisce Ur

She won over hurdles at this distance last April and may well have needed a recent run over fences at 2m. This stamina test will suit better.

Race 6 - 3.30 Cheltenham

Paisley Park

It's been wonderful to see the rise of Paisley Park, who is a terrific horse with inspiring connections, and he's rightly a warm order to retain his Stayers' Hurdle crown. He remains top of this division and should be hard to beat.

Race 7 - 4.10 Cheltenham

Blazer

Preference is for Blazer, who ran very well last time on only his second start back from a significant layoff. He is running off a nice mark and ran well on his only start at Cheltenham, when fourth in the 2016 Coral Cup over hurdles at this meeting. Blazer has long threatened to win a really big handicap and today can be his day.
