Cheltenham Day One ITV Racing Tips 1-2-3 Selections On Friday

1:45 – Mucking Brilliant Paddy Power Handicap Chase (GBB Race) Cl2 (4yo+ 0-150) 2m ITV4

SportsLens 1-2-3 Cheltenham Day One ITV Racing Tips: TRIPLE TRADE is our pick to build on his eye-catching second on reappearance over course and distance last time out when seeking a hat-trick.

Joe Tizzard’s charge looked out of the race completely last month when losing a lot of ground halfway through, but he ran on well to secure second place. This seven-year-old should be more fitter here and can be the first to pass the post after being nudged up just 1lb from that run.

GUY also commands respect given his 11l win at Fontwell in October, but was also three places behind Triple Trade last time out. NO RISK DES FLOS can also be involved.

2:20 – SSS Super Alloys Arkle Challenge Trophy Trial Novices’ Chase (Grade 2) (Registered As The November) Cl1 (4yo+) 2m ITV4

SportsLens 1-2 Cheltenham Day One ITV Racing Tips: JPR ONE can take the beating in this small-field Novices’ Chase. Joe Tizzard’s exciting six-year-old made a good start to life over fences at Newton Abbot last month on heavy ground when winning by 2l.

Having won 50% of his races so far in his career, he heads back to Cheltenham after almost a year-and-a-half looking like a classy chasing prospect and can make it two from two over the bigger obstacles.

HOMME PUBLIC could be the danger for the in-form Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero yard who are operating at a 40% strike rate in the last 14 days with six winners from 15 runs.

• JPR ONE
• HOMME PUBLIC 

2:55 – Glenfarclas Cross Country Handicap Chase (GBB Race) Cl2 (5yo+) 3m5½f ITV4

SportsLens 1-2-3 Cheltenham Day One ITV Racing Tips: DELTA WORK loves a run around the cross country course here at Cheltenham and should go well with every chance of making it four wins from seven runs at the track.

Gordon Elliot’s gutsy 10-year-old didn’t run a bad race when seen last finishing third behind Minella Indo at Punchestown. That was his seasonal reappearance and he should be in better shape here to get his first win of the season.

BACK ON THE LASH is respected given he has won this race the last two years, but it’s a question of whether he is still as good. Elliot’s second string GALVIN also runs well fresh and could provide a challenge to his stable companion Delta Work.

3:30 – Trustatrader Novices’ Hurdle (Grade 2) (Registered As The Hyde Novices’ Hurdle) (GBB Race) Cl1 (4yo+) 2m5f ITV4

SportsLens 1-2-3 Cheltenham Day One ITV Racing Tips: CAPTAIN TEAGUE impressed many when he won on hurdling debut last time out in the Persian War at Chepstow and can only improve more.

Paul Nicholls’ rising star should also appreciate the slight step up in distance given his Irish point-to-point 2m4f win on heavy ground and looks the clear pick of the bunch here. With Cheltenham experience under his belt after a smashing third in the Champion Bumper earlier this year, he could tear this field apart.

Evan Williams’ MINELLA MISSLE won well over hurdles on rules debut and could be pose a threat to Captain Teague. Meanwhile KINBARA is seeking a hat-trick over hurdles and will surely be involved.
