Today’s horse racing from the Cheltenham Festival: Day 2 all races including the Arkle
Predictions:
1.20 (race 1); Gaillard Du Mesnil @5/2
Recruited form France and has quickly developed into a very smart novice hurdler and will be a tough nut to crack if keeps to form.
1.55 (race 2); Monkfish @4/11
Outstanding 7yo who doesn’t look like being beat any time soon, what more can I say?
2.30 (race 3); Grand Roi @13/2
Comfortably won 3 of his 4 starts. Has made steady improvement in graded events and comes here with a big chance.
3.05 (race 4); Nube Negra @8/1
Highly promising contender after beating Altior at Kempton. An exciting sort and should be prominent here.
3.40 (race 5); Tiger Roll @5/1
Won this race in 2018 and 2019 as well as the Grand National in those years. He’s not shown the best form of late but open to prove he is still a force.
4.15 (race 6); Entoucas @6/1
Had some fair hurdle form last season. Yet to win over fences but has been running well in defeat and improvement very much on the cards.
4.50 (race 7); Elle Est Belle @14/1
Unbeaten in 2 runs on soft ground winning easy at Aintree. She’s lacking a recent run but that should be of no concern.
