Harry Wilson provides his advice for all seven races on day three of the Cheltenham Festival.



1.20 Cheltenham
Ryanair Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2), 2m1f

Harry's tip: La Conquiere

The pick at the prices looks to be La Conquiere. She oozed class when comfortably landing a Listed event on her penultimate start and lost nothing in defeat when going down narrowly in open mares' company last time. She’s got plenty of speed and her trainer has won this before.

2.00 Cheltenham
Jack Richards Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (Grade 2), 2m4½f

Harry's tip: Kdeux Saint Fray

With Sixmilebridge out, I'll take a chance on Kdeux Saint Fray. He has started favourite three times this season, including against stablemate and favourite Jordans Cross, so is presumably thought of as better than his mark. He ran well in the Ladbrokes Trophy last time and has form at Cheltenham, so looks worth a go at the prices.

2.40 Cheltenham
Close Brothers Mares' Hurdle (Grade 1), 2m4½f

Harry's tip: Wodhooh

It's hard to oppose Wodhooh. She has won nine of her ten hurdles starts, with her sole defeat coming when second to Lossiemouth in the Aintree Hurdle last season, and is 2-2 at Cheltenham, including victory in the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle at last season’s festival.

3.20 Cheltenham
Paddy Power Stayers' Hurdle (Grade 1), 3m

Harry's tip: Bob Olinger

Teahupoo is the form horse, but at the prices I would still favour Bob Olinger, who made an eye-catching enough return behind that rival at Christmas. He is unbeaten in four starts at Cheltenham (three festival wins), including taking this race last year, and is sure to have been primed for a repeat.

4.00 Cheltenham
Ryanair Chase (Grade 1), 2m4½f

Harry's tip: Fact To File

The decision not to supplement Fact To File for the Gold Cup looked the right call, given he proved well suited to the demands of this test when scoring easily last year and ran to a winning RPR only bettered by Allaho in the Ryanair. He sets the standard and should be very hard to beat again.

4.40 Cheltenham
Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle, 3m

Harry's tip: Bold Endeavour and Onewaywest

Onewaywest and Bold Endeavour qualified for the final in the same race, finishing second and third behind Ace Of Spades. Onewaywest saw it out well on his first go at a staying trip and looks progressive, while Bold Endeavour is likely to step forward for that run and is well treated on old form. I'll take them against the field.


5.20 Cheltenham
Rosconn Group Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup Amateur Jockeys' Handicap Chase, 3m2½f

Harry's tip: Gericault Roque

Gericault Roque bounced back to form when fitted with cheekpieces last time, finishing second in a good Ascot handicap behind one who hailed from a strong formline. He's got good course form, including a second in the 2022 Ultima off 9lb higher before his layoff, and could prove suited to this test.
