Cheltenham 2024: early tips from our experts, including 16-1 fancies from Tom Segal and Paul Kealy
Impaire Et Passe

He barely came off the bridle to slam Gaelic Warrior by six and a half lengths and boasts the high cruising speed which all Champion Hurdle winners need. It will be surprising if Willie Mullins doesn’t train him for the Champion Hurdle next season and, if Nicky Henderson and Michael Buckley decide over the summer to take the first steps towards pursuing the Gold Cup dream with Constitution Hill, the current 6-1 will be massive.
