Further evidence of why it's an absolute no brainer to be putting your Cheltenham bankroll to good use at Matchbook!

Plenty of favourites romping home on day 1 of the Cheltenham Festival but a few tasty outsiders to boot also. Check out how much better off you would have been backing them at Matchbook!

Each day in the run-up to the festival, the duo of Tom Stanley and Matchbook's Micheál Deasy break down the chances of the main protagonists at Cheltenham 2020.

Feel free to ignore every word I’ve written should the Curragh be hit by rain, but if I’m right the going will be pretty quick on Saturday, and there are a few, notably mudlark Addeybb, who ought to be opposed as a result.

I was impressed by Jubiloso at Newbury, but it cannot be stressed enough that the race she won was just a run-of-the-mill novice, and the runner-up, the only solid one against her there, has been well beaten in a handicap off 86 recently. She ought to be running in the Sandringham Handicap off a mark of 101, rather than this Group 1.

Much is made of how stiff the finish is at Ascot, but while that allows horses to come from behind on the straight track, the round course is very different; most winners are well positioned at the entrance to the straight, and it’s doubtful whether Fleeting will be in the right spot despite a perfectly good draw.
