Cheltenham Tips Day 3: Four to follow on Thursday

Despite there only being six races on the card on Wednesday, it was still a fantastic Day 2, with Willie Mullins bringing up a century of winners at Prestbury Park. The big shock of the day came in the Champion Chase as El Fabiolo was pulled up, with punters now casting there eye over Thursday's racecards. Our man Two Pound Punt returns for day three with a quartet of selections who he feels could end up in the winners enclosure. When combined the each-way yankee pays 769/1

1:30pm - Turners Novices' Chase - Iroko

In the first race on Thursday I'm touting Iroko. Trained by Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero, he has only finished once outside the top three on soft ground in five runs. He is also a winner at the course after having landded the Martin Pipe last year. Iroko is a horse who is In fine forr and and looks an exciting one to watch in the opener. 

2:10pm - Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle - Cuthbert Dibble

Another horse that should really love the ground is Cuthbert Dibble who in his career has managed two wins and a place from three efforts on soft ground. The 6-year-old comes here to Cheltenham seeking a 4-timer. He should be fresh and ready to put in another good run on the biggest stage of them all. 

2:50pm - Ryanair Chase - Envoi Allen

Racheal Blackmore rode Captain Guiness to Champion Chase glory on Wednesday and I'll be hoping she can put in another classy showing on Envoi Allen. He is already a three-time winner at the festival and looks to likely to be go off as favourite to make it four. Envoi Allen finished second when seen last in November finishing a neck behind Gerri Colombe. He has een tucked away since then in preparation for this race and I fancy his chances here. 

3:30pm - Stayers' Hurdle - Teahupoo

I've been with this horse for a few years, since the Robbie Power days in fact! Since the 2023 renewal of the Cheltenham Festival he has had two runs, including winning a Grade 1 at Fairyhouse in impressive style. Cheltenham and this race was always the plan and looks the horse to beat in the Stayers' Hurdle.
