The Punt Daily: Mark Boylan's free horse racing tip at Cheltenham on Friday

IRISH ACE

Plan Of Attack (3.00 Cheltenham)

Horses can often improve plenty for their first experience of Cheltenham's cross country course and Plan Of Attack looks an ideal candidate to do just that on Friday for the all-conquering Henry de Bromhead. There was plenty of encouragement to be taken from his recent fourth here – his first start of the season – behind a trio of rivals he encounters again this time. The eight-year-old has long threatened to win a big pot and remains on a workable British mark of 138, leaving him with a lovely racing weight of 10st 3lb.
