• Bets for every race on Cheltenham Festival Day 2

• Tips from Kevin Blake, Tony Calvin, Brendan Duke

• Greaneteen v Edwardstone in the Champion Chase

Ballymore Novices Hurdle - 13:30

Tony Calvin - Gaelic Warrior Each Way (5/1)

Talented, has his quirks and I wouldn't be surprised to see Paul Townend pick Gaelic Warrior over Impaire Et Passe.

Kevin Blake - Gaelic Warrior (5/1)

Form horse in the race. Willie Mullins will have a bunch of runners here and I am hoping they employ some clever tactics. He has a stablemate in the race. I can see him winning quite well.

Brendan Duke - Hermes Allen (11/4)

I am going all-in on my English novice hurdlers strategy. Hermes Allen is my bet. Very quick jumper of hurdles, best jockey in the race.

Brown Advisory Novices Chase - 14:10

Tony Calvin - Thunder Rock (14/1)

I liked that run in the Dipper. Steps up to three miles, plenty of stamina in pedigree. At three times the price of The Real Whacker, Thunder Rock might be for you if you like The Real Whacker.

Kevin Blake - The Real Whacker (9/2)

I love his jumping. He is quick and efficient, has stamina over three miles. I just really like him.

Brendan Duke - Thyme Hill (11/2)

Good Cheltenham form. I do take the point that it's quite late to go novice chasing, though.

Coral Cup - 14:50

Brendan Duke - Hms Seahorse (7/1)

Here's a horse that is going places. Placed in Boodles last year.

Champion Chase - 15:30

Tony Calvin - Greaneteen (25/1)

A body of work that suggests he should be bang in there if at his best. That career best at Exeter may have set him back. Paul Nicholls will have him fresh for this, though.

Kevin Blake - Edwardstone (13/8)

Deadly last time out. Came back lame with a foot issue. Should be a cracker.

Brendan Duke - Edwardstone (13/8)

I am a huge Edwardstone fan. One of the toughest and best horses in training. I do think he was an unlucky loser at Cheltenham.

Cross Country Chase - 16:10

Kevin Blake - Galvin (15/8)

It could be quick by Cheltenham standards which won't suit Delta Work. Galvin is well ahead of Delta Work on fast ground.

Grand Annual Chase - 16:50

Kevin Blake - Rouge Vif (12/1)

English horses in handicap chases are particularly well-in compared to the Irish. They have targetted Rouge Vif at this all year. This is his big target. If it's ever going to happen for him it'll be here.

Champion Bumper - 17:30

Tony Calvin - Encanto Bruno (12/1)

I don't usually bet on bumpers but I've had a bet this year on Encanto Bruno.
