TEMPLEGATE takes on Wednesday’s racing certain of finding a winner or two from the packed fields.
Cheltenham takes centre stage as day two of the greatest show on turf looks like being a cracker.
You can read Templegate’s complete race-by-race guide to the Festival’s second day.
And don’t forget to check out some of the cracking offers we have – which includes Shishkin to finish in the top three of the Champion Chase at a stonking 20-1.
DROP THE ANCHOR (2.50 Cheltenham, nap)
He was beaten just three lengths in the County Hurdle at last year’s Festival but this longer trip should be more to his liking.
He warmed up with a cracking fifth in a red-hot contest at Leopardstown where he finished ahead of Suprise Package who ran away with the Imperial Cup at the weekend.
He is off a lower mark than 12 months ago and can go close in a typically open race.
TIGER ROLL (4.10 Cheltenham, nb)
He won this contest over the cross-country course by 18 lengths last season and looks hard to stop again.
That was his third victory in this race which plays exactly to the dual Grand National hero’s strengths.
He has had his usual quiet run over hurdles to warm up and Davy Russell can steer him home again.
It’s a shame that he retires here instead of having a lap of honour around Aintree next month but he can go out on a real high.
CAPODANNO (2.10 Cheltenham, treble)
He gave potential superstar Bob Olinger lots to think about when chasing him home at Punchestown in January.
That was an excellent second and is arguably the best piece of form on show from this field.
He took a clumsy unseat early on at Leopardstown last month but can bounce back from that. There should be a lot more to come.
