Cheltenham Festival 2013 Day 2: Top tips from the Press

OUR tipster finally got things right with the last race of the opening day of the 2013 cavalcade of racing at the Cheltenham Festival.

After a disappointing opening yesterday he finally got on the winning track in the 5.15pm Rewards4Racing Novices’ Handicap Chase when RAJDHANI EXPRESS, ridden by Sam Waley-Cohen, came home for trainer Nicky Henderson at 16-1.

Our tipster’s previous tips really failed to stir the excitement with ZARKANDAR coming fourth in the Stan James Champion Hurdle Challenge Trophy, while UN ATOUT also came fourth in the opening race of the festival in the William Hill Supreme Novices’ Hurdle.

Now onto Day Two (Wednesday, March 13) of the Cheltenham Festival 2013 and can our tipster carry on from where he left off yesterday evening and pick some more winners?Cheltenham Festival 2013 Day 2 - Top tips from the Press

Only time will tell – but our tipster can only see one real winner in the big race of the day, the 3.20 Sportingbet Queen Mother Champion Chase – SPRINTER SACRE – ridden by Barry Geraghty and trained by Nicky Henderson.

But if you want go for an outsider – possibly look at Colin Tizzard’s THEATRICAL STAR in the 2.40 RSA Chase.

The Tizzard camp, based at Milborne Port, were celebrating yesterday by winning the JLT Speciality Chase by ten lengths with bottom weight Golden Chieftain at 28-1.
