It’s the time of year when opinions, both solicited and otherwise, are de rigueur. I don’t usually impose unwanted punting advice on readers in this space but it’s my last column before Cheltenham so I’m keen to invoke the festive spirit. A time for giving, and hopefully a time for getting.

My recreational philosophy means I don’t have a strong view on every race, but here are two reasonably priced selections for each of the four days. Go forth and prosper.

Tuesday

Marine Nationale
Sky Bet Supreme Novices’ Hurdle, best odds 7-2
