Willie Mullins has a superstar on his hands - back him now for Cheltenham

This is going to be the most informative weekend of the season so far for Cheltenham clues. As good as Saturday is with a terrific Tingle Creek in store at Sandown, Sunday is going to be even better. You will need eyes in the back of your head to get to grips with everything that is going on.

Could Nube Negra take advantage of undercooked Chacun Pour Soi?

We will, however, start at Sandown. The Betfair Tingle Creek Chase (2.25) sees Chacun Pour Soi return to action. Well, hopefully he will anyway. Willie Mullins is an incredibly patient man so to my mind there must still be a bit of a doubt whether he will run given Sandown has missed most of the rain they were hoping for.

Even if he does run, I would have my doubts about whether we will see him at his best and I won't be backing him at evens.
