With £300,000 up for grabs in Thursday’s round (enter for free by 1:30pm), choose your selections carefully!

1.30 Cheltenham – Turners Novices’ Chase

Bob Olinger

Only four runners but a potentially great match between Bob Olinger and Galopin Des Champs with preference for the former, who might have too much speed for his main rival.

1.55 Down Royal

Arlo

Stuart Crawford’s horse has shown a glimmer of ability in bumpers and maiden hurdles, and he could get off the mark thanks to a slight step up in trip.

2.10 Cheltenham – Pertemps Final

Sire Du Berlais

Twice a winner of this race and second in last year’s Stayers’ Hurdle, he can go in again with Rob James’ useful 7lb claim helping him from a handicapping point of view.

2.35 Down Royal

Mrs Watson

This mare looked on good terms with herself when winning at Clonmel last time out and she could well defy a weight rise in this weak contest.

2.50 Cheltenham – Ryanair Chase

Allaho

Last year’s performer of the Festival has looked in great nick once again this season and he can run his rivals into the ground with another aggressive effort from the front.

3.30 Cheltenham – Stayers’ Hurdle

Champ

Looked a staying hurdler out of the top drawer at Ascot in December and if he’s back in that sort of form he’s the one they all have to beat.

4.10 Cheltenham – Plate Handicap Chase

Imperial Alcazar

Got struck into when well-fancied for the Pertemps last season but dropping back in trip over fences saw a coming of age performance last time and he can go in again.

It’s been done already on Tuesday, but correctly predict seven winners of the seven races at Cheltenham and Down Royal, and you will take home £300,000 for free. Entries by 1:30pm.
