Racing Podcast: Cheltenham Day 2 Tips & Selections

Tom Stanley is here to summarise the Cheltenham Day 2 tips from our horse racing team.

Again a quickfire rattle through the seven races on Day 2. Some strong opinions opposing horses today too, notably in the Brown Advisory and the Champion Bumper.

We start with the Ballymore and a shorty who nobody is keen to be against.

Ballymore Novices Hurdle

Tom – Sir Gerhard
Matt – Sir Gerhard; (Three Stripe Life in without market if it doesn’t rain)
Rixy – Stage Star without Sir Gerhard
Deasy – Sir Gerhard

Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase

Tom – L’Homme Presse
Matt – Ahoy Senor
Rixy – Beacon Edge without Bravemansgame
Deasy – Farouk D’Alene (win/place)

Constitution Hill is a seriously impressive winner of the Supreme:

– £50 stake = £24.70 difference in returns 🤑
– Based on 2% Net Win 👍

Champion Bumper

Tom – Lay Facile Vega

Deasy – Lay Facile Vega

Best Lays

All about taking on the Mullins trained hotpot here. Facile Vega has looked so impressive but history tells us Willie Mullins rarely wins this with his shortest price in the market. Rixy is keen to lay Journey WIth Me two places in the opener.

Tom – Lay Facile Vega
Matt – Lay Facile Vega
Rixy – Lay Journey With Me in first two places market
Deasy – Lay Facile Vega

Best Bets

Maybe I’m being overly sentimental with Tiger Roll but as long as there’s not too much rain I struggle to see past him. Matt has had Saint Felicien on his radar a good while now and Rixy wants Dans Le Vent in that race too. Deasy likes Before Midnight at 17.0 currently in the Grand Annual.

Tom – Tiger Roll
Matt – Saint Felicien
Rixy – Dans Le Vent place-only in extra place markets
Deasy – Before Midnight

Best of luck!
