Our tipster, Bob Cross, brings you his selections for another action-packed day of racing.

He ran a blinder at Fairyhouse in December and this has been the plan ever since. JP McManus moved quickly to purchase A Dream To Share after the gelding won a valuable Group 2 event at Leopardstown in February. This is far too big a price for a horse that took to these obstacles like a duck to water when finishing fifth here in January. After winning the Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso last month, Benson, is in line for a one hundred thousand pound bonus if he is successful here. Our each way selection is Nube Negra who ran a cracker in this event two years ago when finishing second. He rides Good Land for Barry Connell in this event – a combination which won him the first race yesterday and I am hopeful can be successful once again.

The Real Whacker and Bronn were battling away throughout, but Gerri Colombe roared back in the final stages. However, Sam Twiston Davies held his cool to win the race for Patrick Neville. Despite managing third in the Clarence House Chase in the Cheltenham Trials, Energumene still has plenty to offer and will be looking to surprise a few on the main stage and get one over Edwardstone too. Many punters may avoid this one with such a crowded field, but Dinoblue is 7/2 favourite at present. - Grenateen - 28/1 It was the Gordon Elliott duo who were predicted to lead the way after his 1-2 last year and that is how it plays out. A win for Henry De Bromhead from 22/1! Favourite Dinoblue is second, with Global Citizen third. Keith Donoghue took his personal tally to four wins - drawing level with 'Queen of the Banks' Nina Carberry - as Delta Work defended the title he won last year from under the nose of two-time Grand National winner Tiger Roll. And if Donoghue knows how the navigate the unique three-mile course, with its strangely named fences, so does Gordon Elliott.

All my family have been so supportive of me - to get a day like this, I could retire in the morning.” [Mares' Hurdle](/topic/mares-hurdle) in what is set to be her swansong. This should play to the strengths of the hold-up Saint Roi, who was impressive on his last completed start. Dysart Dynamo and El Fabiolo, both stablemates of the selection, like to go forward, as does Effernock Fizz. More than 250,000 people are expected to descend on the racecourse across four days, and many will be attending today to see Constitution Hill, a possible greatest horse of all time, in the feature race, the [Champion Hurdle](/topic/champion-hurdle). Nine run, but most are 33-1 or bigger, so the other four have to be afforded close scrutiny.

El Fabiolo will win the race, but as regards to having a bet I'd prefer Saint Roi each-way at 8/1 with the nine runners. With Dysart Dynamo in there, the three ...

With Dysart Dynamo in there, the three of these are going to go hard and there’s no way the three of them are going to keep going and I think Saint Roi will come and pick up the pieces.” Facile Vega had looked well placed but just couldn’t quite kick on up the final straight. “Unbelievable,” O’Sullivan says to ITV. “I put my neck above the parapet about six months ago when I said this horse was a weapon,” trainer Barry Connell says. He’s a future star.” “El Fabiolo has shown us he can clout one and knows exactly how to save himself, so you’d have to be with that.

The first eight home were trained in Ireland. We know Jack is always with us and I'm sure he was here on Rachael's shoulder. "It's just a massive result.

Another loss in the Irish Champion Hurdle seemed to indicate her star was on the wane, but she delighted the Cheltenham crowd with her fourth victory at the Festival, having also won the Mares' Hurdle in 2020.

A racecourse spokesperson said: “Sadly Malinello sustained an injury in the final race of the day. It was a fairytale start for Rachael Blackmore on day one thanks to her victory with Honeysuckle in the Mares' Hurdle. Paul Townend is once again booked in for some big rides today, taking the saddle of both Sir Gerhard and Energumene. Here is a run through of the racecard. It wasn’t the strongest of races. He has been impressive at home and his win at Punchestown was very good in terms of the manner of how he won. One of the most prestigious National Hunt Meetings of the calendar is not to be missed…and we’ve got a bumper week of amazing content and great reader offers. He's a classy horse, and he deserves to take his chance in a race like this.” That was then followed by a [fairytale swansong for Honeysuckle](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/horse-racing/cheltenham-festival-honeysuckle-rachael-blackmore-29458121) and Rachael Blackmore in the Mares' Hurdle.

It looks to be a perfectly matched battle between Britain and Ireland.

It's the only race in the Cheltenham Festival to not run on the main Cheltenham racecourse. Hello and welcome to Sportsmail's live blog for day two of the Cheltenham Festival. The Queen Mother Champion Chase is regarded as the most prestigious two-mile chase in Britain and Ireland. He disappointed in the Savills Chase but the prospect of better ground on the X-Country course should suit. I was impressed with him and he looks a value bet in the Brown Advisory contest. This season’s Paul Nicholls-trained winner Hermes Alle n looks well up to that standard and he can prove that in the Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle. It was a performance that told you this six-year-old gelding had the talent to win at the biggest festival of all. Last season, Sir Gerhard was an impressive winner of the Ballymore and he made a winning debut over fences. It was great to finally get a Champion Chase last year and I think in the Clarence House he just needed the run over those different style of fences. This is my first ride at the Festival and it's all a bit surreal.' It is a teaming up of the generations. The ground then was good to soft in places and with rain expected every day between now and Friday.

“Patrick Mullins may well have got it right and I'd be with Fact To File.” Chris Wilson15 March 2023 12:55.

She puts her head down, ears back and she just wants it. I just about had it in her. Spanish Harlem is near the back as the halfway marker arrives and looks to be struggling. Imagine is well placed too on the outside. This is going to be a heated finish. He ups the pace and storms to victory!

He had it right and the horse loved the ground and jumping. It was his third win from three starts at the course. He was just brilliant on the day and Paul was just brilliant on him.” “He wanted to be away fast and that is the way the race worked out.
