If you want the Cheltenham live odds, racecards and results then hop over to the Planet Sport race centre to get your fix.
(Please be aware odds are subject to change and what was a juicy each-way when we wrote this article, might not be the case when they go to post)
13:30 - Blood Destiny
Searching for a compelling outsider in the Triumph proved less than fruitful so we'll pop
Blood Destiny in an each-way double with
Vaucelet (16:10) later in the day.
For us, this fellow will get the better of stablemate Lossiemouth and that should be enough to get the job done. His deeply impressive victory at Fairyhouse last time out was one to get the pulse racing.
14:10 - Ballyadam and Pembroke
Dan Skelton's skill in training Festival handicap hurdle winners is no secret and
Pembroke looks laid out to add to the trainer's tally here. At the lower end of the weights, the six-year-old can make his presence felt in this cavalry charge.
At bigger odds, we have to stick a few quid on
Ballyadam. Henry de Bromhead's runners have been performing in grand style this week and he will have been encouraged by Ballyadam's seasonal return at Leopardstown, where he was third.
14:50 - Hiddenvalleylake
This exceptionally tricky contest features a host with chances. We'll stick with the de Bromhead team and go for
Hiddenvalleylake here.
Beaten by stablemate Monty's Star last time, she is on more favourable terms here and can make amends. Lots of others appeal, especially Shanbally Kid and Favori De Champdou, but we'll go with the one pick.
15:30 - Conflated and Sounds Russian
A tremendously competitive Gold Cup awaits, with a deserved favourite in Galopin Des Champs and previous champions in Minella Indo and A Plus Tard. The latter would undoubtedly be great value if one could ignore his last run. A small win saver may suffice.
However, we'll look at a couple at bigger odds. First up is
Conflated, who was running a fine race before falling in last year's Ryanair. He's suited by left-handed tracks and should go well.
Sounds Russian is more of a long-shot but has really been under-rated in the markets and discussions of this race.
He ran a rock-solid trial behind Ahoy Senor here in January (Noble Yeats third, Protektorat fourth) and could easily run a huge race if taking to the pace of this event.
16:10 - Vaucelet
The Foxhunters is not a race for everyone and we'll settle for the previously mentioned each-way double, matching
Vaucelet with Blood Destiny. The trainer-jockey combination of Christie and O'Neill warrant huge respect in this sphere.
16:50 - Magic Daze
Impervious is probably the one for win bets so we'll take a chance with a small each-way interest in
Magic Daze from the afore-mentioned De Bromhead stable.
We're prepared to take the gamble that the longer trip will actually suit her.
17:30 - Iroko
The finale to the meeting is as much of a puzzle as always and we're giving
Iroko the chance to solve it for us.
An eye-catching victory at Wetherby in January put him straight into the notebook and he can see off a host of serious rivals.
