There was a flurry of activity on Wednesday following the release of the weights for the Cheltenham Festival handicaps and here our experts give a tip each having studied the numbers

Belargus
Boodles Juvenile Handicap Hurdle

The JP McManus-owned Belargus looks very interesting off 129 in the Boodles Juvenile Handicap Hurdle, his chance boosted by the mark of 139 given to Band Of Outlaws. If I'd backed Band Of Outlaws ante-post I would have been hoping for at least 3-4lb lower.
