The Punt Daily: Jack Haynes's horse racing tip at Cheltenham on Thursday

EACH-WAY PLAY

Hawthorn Cottage (2.05 Cheltenham)

This mare has it all to do in this Listed event on recent showings but better ground and refitted blinkers might just spark a notable return to form. The Amy Murphy-trained nine-year-old is tough to pass when on song and has plenty of experience for this novice handicap chase. She is back below her last winning mark for the first time and might just be able to dominate from the front. She has a light weight of 10st 5lb and that is a plus in this race, with six of the last nine winners carrying 11st or less.
