Cheltenham Festival Day 3 Irish National Hunt Tips

A beaten favourite in this race last year, connections have been taking no chances of letting the race get away from them this time around. He's a proper weapon on his day and all his best form is when fresh.

Last season he beat Klassical Dream and Honeysuckle on seasonal debut and took the scalp of Impaire Et Passe who's lost his way since in the same race this season. He has his ground, and he comes here fresh and being perfectly honest with Irish Point going to the Champion Hurdle he has nothing to beat!

The winner of this race last year when absolutely bolting up in what was in my opinion a better renewal of the race. He's another runner who is best kept fresh and that is always key with him for me. He hasn't run since Down Royal in November, and he will be primed to the minute for this. He has the best pieces of form in the race both this season and lifetime and I think he takes the world of beating.

Rachel will have a double handful turning in and away he will go. He's not for opposing in my book.

A progressive mare for Ted Walsh this season she has a lovely racing weight officially off 10st 10lbs, but Shane O'Callaghan claims another 5lbs. She will love the soft ground and the hill will bring out the best in her in the finish.

She ran super races the last outings, winning at Leopardstown at Christmas before finishing 2nd last time at the Dublin Racing Festival she will come there travelling turning in for sure but she doesn't quicken when she comes of it so it will be a real grind. I honestly can't knock her out of the frame.
