Kevin Blake Cheltenham Tips – Day 1
Mighty Potter – Supreme Novices’ Hurdle (1.30)
Blake’s first fancy of the opening day of the 2022 Cheltenham Festival comes in the opening race – the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle. The Irish racing pundit and well renowned tipster is backing Mighty Potter for the Gordon Elliott yard with their trust instilled in jockey Jack Kennedy.
Gordon Elliott has never wavered in his view that the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle was the right race for Mighty Potter, even though the Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle looked a more winnable option.
Mighty Potter is 6/1 with BetUK, who pay Cheltenham extra places in some races at the Festival, a solid opener for Blake.

Tellmesomethinggirl – Close Brothers Mares’ Hurdle (4.10)
Tellmesomethinggirl for trainer Henry De Bromhead has leading claims in this Mares’ Hurdle under the ride of Rachel Blackmore. Blackmore has mad a name for herself as being one of the best jockeys in the sport, after an unbelievable Cheltenham Festival in 2021.
Blake loved her last run at Leopardstown and is confident of a win, with Henry De Bromhead training this mare specifically for this race. The high pace will suit her.
Tellmesomethinggirl can be backed at 4/1 with BetUK for the Close Brothers Mares’ Hurdle at ten past four this afternoon.

Run Wild Fred – NH Challenge Cup Amateur Jockeys’ Novices’ Chase (5.30)
Run Wild Fred has tonnes of experience over fences, being a second-season chaser. There are no stamina concerns whatsoever and he was unlucky not to win the Irish Grand National last season. He is the class horse in the race for sure.
Elliott has been very keen to run him in this race all season and has trained him specifically for it. He is a straightforward ride that will take up a prominent position.
Run Wild Fred is the 2/1 favourite with BetUK for this race.
