We've compiled all the Cheltenham Festival 2024 tips recommended by Daryl Carter during this week's special festival podcast...


Cheltenham Day 1 - Champions Day Tuesday

Supreme Novices Hurdle - Keep Mystical Power onside

Daryl said: "We don't know how good Mystical Power could be. What he did in the Moscow Flyer was really impressive, speeding away, trapping down to the last hurdle at about 34mph really showed a bright turn of foot. The steps that he has taken in three starts have been really big leaps of improvement.

Boodles Handicap Hurdle - Promising pair

Daryl said: "I have a couple in here that I like. There is scope for improvement from Palamon off his mark. Nara won the corresponding race that Sir Gino won in France, the fillies version, and has been given a couple of quiet rides. You think she should have a lot more to come.

National Hunt Chase - Classy Corbetts a great bet

Daryl said: "Corbetts Cross is a stonking bet on day one. He is a progressive horse, the classiest horse in the race. Derek O'Connor will be on and he is a decent jockey."

Back Corbetts Cross @ 7/42.75

Cheltenham Day 2 - Ladies Day Wednesday

Gallagher Novices Hurdle - Don't trust Ile Atlantique

Daryl said: "This race lends itself to a horse with a good turn of foot. I would not trust Ile Atlantique."

Brown Advisory - Impressed by Fact To File

Daryl said: "Fact To File is very, very good. He has been very impressive. His jumping at speed has been really impressive for me. Will be looking to place lay Montys Star."


Cheltenham Day 3 - St Patrick's Thursday

Turners Novices Chase - Warrior will relish step back

Daryl said: "Gaelic Warrior has some ability. He went far too hard at Leopardstown last time. Previously, he was second in Ballymore last year but didn't really see out the trip. Coming back in distance to this trip and on the New Course where you are not always on the tight turn will suit him. If Gaelic Warrior does not come in here, Grey Dawning is the one for me."

Ryanair Chase - Envoi Allen and Protektorat appeal

Daryl said: "If a horse is going to defy the age stat it would be a classy horse like Envoi Allen. He has a massive chance. He was a brilliant winner of the race last year, beating Shishkin with Hitman in behind. I think Protektorat is too big. Any double figures is too big and is a good each-way price for him."

Back Protektorat E/W @ 10/111.00

Cheltenham Day 4 - Gold Cup Friday

Triumph Hurdle - Sir Gino to wow Cheltenham

Daryl said: "Let's not take the shine out of what could be the second coming in Sir Gino. He is different class. He is the one horse this week who has the absolute wow factor. Look at that last performance at Cheltenham. I will not have him beat. This is a proper, proper horse. If he gets beat I will fall down."

Back Sir Gino @ 4/61.67

Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle - Tommy can get it right

Daryl said: "I do like Readin Tommy Wrong. I like the way he has taken steps forward with each of his starts. I think he is a pretty smart horse and I think he is being underestimated."

Back Readin Tommy Wrong @ 5/16.00

Gold Cup - L'Homme will give a run for your money

Daryl said: "One niggle with Galopin Des Champs I have is the extra run. For now I am going to look at L'Homme Presse each-way. Coming back left-handed and going up the distance. I can't get out of my head how ridiculously good he was with that Brown Advisory win. I really don't think we have seen the best from him. Will get a run for your money."

County Hurdle - Under Control going in right direction

Daryl said: "I am interested in Under Control. I am taking a little bit of confidence from Nicky entering Iberico Lord into the Champion Hurdle. Under Control beat that one at Sandown last year and is taking steps back in the right direction."
