Cheltenham Day 2 Superboost

After the Day 1 Superboost landed with over 31,000 punters taking advantage of the 1/12.00 about Old Park Star finishing in the top four in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle (he won!), we have another extremely generous Superboost for you on Day 2.

The Gordon Elliott-trained Romeo Coolio has won all four of his chase starts this season including two Grade 1 contests with the latter being a victory over Tuesday's Arkle Chase winner Kargese. He's 4/91.44 to finish in the top four in the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase at 14:00 but the Betfair Sportsbook has super-boosted his price to 1/12.00.

13:20 Turners Novices' Hurdle - Back Ballyfad E/W @ 15/28.50 NAP

The 2m Champion Chase is the highlight of the second day of the Festival and all eyes will be on Majborough, who is potentially a generational talent and will be a short price to make up for his third-place finish in the Arkle last season, where his jumping rather let him down.

He was again rather sticky early on this term, but cheekpieces last time appeared to sharpen him up no end as he pounded last year's Champion Chase winner Marine Nationale by 19 lengths at the Dublin Racing Festival. A repeat of that will see him be very hard to beat here, though this is a race best watched, in my opinion.

Instead, let's start our punting day by backing Ballyfad in the opening Turners Novices' Hurdle run over 2m 5f.

Although No Drama This End has drawn comparisons with Denman according to his trainer Paul Nicholls, I'm not convinced his form is as good as Ballyfad's, who is arguably unlucky to not be unbeaten over hurdles, going down only narrowly to a talented rival over 2m last time.

The selection looks sure to benefit from this step up in trip and he looks the best bet each-way on a trappy second day.

14:00 Brown Advisory Novices' Chase - Back Kaid d'Authie @ 13/27.50

Willie Mullins goes into the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase mob-handed and cases can be made for all of his five runners, even the complete outsider Joystick.

However, I'm hopeful Kaid d'Authie can emerge best of the quintet and he looks to be overpriced at 13/27.50 on the Sportsbook.

Although Mullins has Final Demand shorter in the betting, that one was put well in his place by Kaid d'Authie last time and he'll need to show a marked improvement on that effort if he's to turn the tables.

Of course, that's entirely possible, particularly as Mullins now reaches for a first-time tongue tie on Final Demand, though that doesn't exactly strike me as a positive and I much prefer the chances of his stablemate at the current prices.

14:40 BetMGM Cup - Back Kateira E/W @ 6/17.00

Dan Skelton is a fantastic target trainer who has won this competitive handicap hurdle a couple of times in the past with the late Langer Dan and he looks to have laid Kateira out to try and bag the prize once again.

The mare completed a simple task when beating last season's Champion Hurdle winner Golden Ace (who wasn't right on the day) on her comeback at Wetherby in November. However, it's her last two starts in handicap company that make her of particular interest in this contest.

She was unsuited by a speed test over 2m at Musselburgh on her penultimate outing, while she wasn't given anything like a hard time when ninth at Ascot last time.

Those runs appear to have been a means to an end and the handicapper has taken a chance by dropping her another couple of pounds here, so it would be no surprise whatsoever if she steps up markedly now.

This fiercely competitive, so an each-way play at 6/17.00 with six places on the Sportsbook looks the way to go.

Mark Milligan's Cheltenham Multi Tip: Each-way double looks the way to go

Betfair is offering Bet £10 Get £10 on Racing Multis each day of the Cheltenham Festival, and the multi that makes the most appeal on Wednesday is an each-way double featuring the aforementioned Kateira (14:40) and Quiryn (17:20).

I've made the case above for the former while the latter really catches my eye in the Champion Bumper that closes the card.

A 'bumper' is essentially a flat race that allows future jumpers to experience a competitive racing environment before tackling obstacles and plenty of really good horses have won this down the years.

Quiryn is a nice mix on pedigree (with some flat speed in there) and he was an impressive winner at Naas on his sole start in January, pulling well clear and looking a fine prospect in doing so.
