Cheltenham Festival Tips Day 2: Put The Kettle On in the Champion Chase
Wednesday is day two of the Cheltenham Festival and after the punters had a good first day with three favourites coming in, we've got four more selections for you from @TwoPoundPunt.
The action kicks off with a really hot looking Ballymore Novices' Hurdle with three at the head of the market, whilst we also have tips from the competitive Coral Cup where Paddy Power are paying each-way down to six places.
Chacun Pour Soi is the odds on favourite for the feature race of the day, the Queen Mother Champion Chase but we have won to appose whilst we've got a longshot in the last race of the day, the Champion Bumper.
All four selections in a Lucky 15 pays over 7000/1 with Paddy Power. Good luck!

The first race of the day is the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle at 13:20 and it's a real doozy. Bravemansgame comes here on the back of a hat-trick with a win at Exeter and two at Newbury, the latest being a Gr1 on soft. He stayed on really well and is improving all the time. Yet to race at Cheltenham but he is two for two when going left-handed.

Second up is the competitive Coral Cup (14:30) and I like Koshari here who made a winning return to racing in January after a whopping 875 days away from the track. That was on soft-heavy ground over a furlong shorter than today. That was followed up with a 6th in a Gr2 at Leopardstown where an early mistake cost his race. He did finish the race well however and with seven places on offer here I am a backer.

The big race of the day is the Champion Chase at 15:05 and it’s rare that a horse pops up in all three systems that I run, but Put The Kettle On did just that and the figures show why. Five runs on soft have brought about three wins and four places, over the distance six runs have returned four wins and five places. He won the Arkle last year and is three from three at the track. Chacun Pour Soi will likely go off odds on but our pick should be right in the mix.

My last selection of the day comes in the Champion Bumper at 16:50 in the shape of Est Est Elle. Another one that popped up in a couple of results for me and with 4 places about looks a great price to me. Two for two on the ground and one from one at the both the distance and at Cheltenham. The Skeltons have been in great form lately and after a best finish of third yesterday I am hoping they can go one or two better here.
