If you’re keen on placing an exciting multiple bet on the opening day, consider this suggested Lucky 15 to kick things off:
Arkle Chase: Hunters Yarn @ 6/1
Hunters Yarn, unlike several other Mullins entries, is exclusively racing in the Arkle, indicating a focused preparation for this event. A strong performer, he impressed as a top chaser in his last victory. With Il Etait Temps yet to demonstrate effectiveness on undulating tracks, Hunters Yarn is a solid choice.
Ultima Handicap Chase: Monbeg Genius @ 16/1
Jonjo O’Neill’s Monbeg Genius stands out in the Ultima. He secured third in this very race last year during his debut at Cheltenham and has been evidently prepped for another strong showing. With O’Neill’s successful history in this race and a pattern of previous winners doing well following a solid performance the year prior, Monbeg Genius presents great value at these odds.
Champion Hurdle: State Man @ 2/5
State Man emerges as a formidable contender in the Champion Hurdle, especially if Lossiemouth doesn’t participate. Last season, State Man only fell short against the absent Constitution Hill, making him a tough competitor unless unforeseen issues arise.
National Hunt Chase: Salvador Ziggy @ 5/1
To conclude the first day, Salvador Ziggy appears well-positioned for success. High-rated horses have historically performed well in this race, and Salvador Ziggy’s second-place finish in the challenging Pertemps last season at Cheltenham bodes well for his chances.
This Lucky 15 encompasses a mix of strong favorites and value bets, offering an exciting start to the festival.
