Free Cheltenham Festival tips: six horses to back on Wednesday at Cheltenham

Wednesday's best bets ranked in order of confidence by our top tipsters

Eyecatcher

Elixir De Nutz (4.50 Cheltenham)

One of two runners in the race for Colin Tizzard, the Grade 1 winning grey recorded a career-best as a chaser last time and has won at Cheltenham in the past, so looks a bit of value in a wide-open big field event.
David Toft

Ace tipster

Andy Dufresne (4.50 Cheltenham)

Attempting to give 7lb to Grade 1-placed two-mile chaser Captain Guinness was impossible last time but he ran well in defeat. This talented, lightly raced type makes plenty of appeal on his handicap debut.
Robbie Wilders

Speed figures

Stage Star (1.30 Cheltenham)

Unbeaten in three starts over hurdles, he has hardly put a foot wrong and his timeline mirrors his progressive profile.
Dave Edwards

Handicappers' nap

Grand Roi (2.50 Cheltenham)

Didn't enjoy the best of runs when finishing midfield when favourite for this race last year, but can race off the same mark today and potentially a fair bit better than his current rating of 149.
Steve Mason

Dark horse

I Am Maximus (1.30 Cheltenham)

Progressive form over hurdles and improved for the step up in trip when second to Hillcrest last time out. Good record at the course and he should have more to offer.
Jake Aldrich

West Country

Amarillo Sky (4.50 Cheltenham)

Impressive winner at Newbury last time and has plenty of untapped potential despite 8lb rise in the weights. Yet to run at Cheltenham but should take to it.
