13:30 Supreme Novices' Hurdle - Dysart Dynamo

David Carr, Racing Post: "We start off with an absolute belter, there's four horses in there that could all be superstars, Jonbon and Constitution Hill for Britain and for Ireland, the one I fancy - Dysart Dynamo.

"Two wins, 19 lengths each of them, could be something really really special, that's Dysart Dynamo."

14:10 The Arkle Challenge Trophy - Edwardstone

Jonathan Doidge, Planet Sport: "I think Haut En Couleurs could run a really big race each-way, but I do worry a little about Edwardstone that's the one I'm going to nominate.

"His form in his last two or three starts, on racing post ratings at least, has started to plateau a little bit. But he has jumped superbly and you can't really argue too much with the form he's put down apart from that plateau effect.

"I don't think I've seen anything that I favour more than him. It's Edwardstone for me."

14:50 The Ultima Handicap Steeple Chase - Kiltealy Briggs (e/w)

Jonathan Doidge, Planet Sport: "The Jamie Snowden-trained eight-year-old is has only raced nine times over fences, winning two and being placed in four others.

"He's very much still unexposed and on an upward curve, as his form figures will testify. Third to Bravemansgame in the Grade 1 Kauto Star Novices' Chase (3m) over Christmas, he improved again when scoring at Musselburgh in novices' company last time.

"He already has a positive Cheltenham Festival experience under his belt, when a respectable ninth of 21 behind The Shunter in last year's Plate.

"He stayed three miles over hurdles but he's had few attempts at this trip so far and that could be key in eliciting the improvement required to win this."

15:30 The Champion Hurdle - Teahupoo (e/w)

David Carr, Racing Post: "Everyone loves Honeysuckle, she's won every time we've seen her, she's going to go off a really short price but she's not unbeatable and I think this is going to be her stiffest test.

"A Gordon Elliott trained horse called Teahupoo, bit of a dark horse, not run in Britain before, he's looked really good winning each of his starts this year, doesn't have to find much improvement."

16:10 Mares' Hurdle - Martello Sky (e/w)

Dominic Elsworth, former Cheltenham Festival winning jockey: "Quite an open race, Martello Sky for me a bit of an each-way bet, Telmesomethingirl has been a little bit disappointing she's going to go off favourite but this season has been a bit disappointing, maybe last year just took it out of her.

"But as a good each-way bet I think Martello Sky, trained by Lucy Wadham."
