Selma De Vary (JCB Triumph Hurdle 13:20) Willie Mullins/Paul Townend
Form from the Grade 1 Juvenile event at the Dublin Racing Festival tends to transfer well to this race, with four of the last five winners here having won/placed in that contest. The DRF winner, Narciso Has, met a setback and was ruled out and so stablemate and runner-up Selma De Vary could be the one to give trainer Willie Mullins his fifth straight Triumph Hurdle success.

Only By Night (Mrs Paddy Power Mares' Chase 14:40) Gavin Cromwell/Keith Donoghue
Dinoblue tops the market for the Mares' Chase but her Cheltenham record shows just one win in four visits and she isn't getting any younger. Winners of this race tend to be aged seven or eight and last year's Arkle second Only By Night has the right sort of profile. Trainer Gavin Cromwell said in the autumn he'd work backwards from this target and she should be primed for a yard amongst the winners already this week at Cheltenham.

Doctor Steinberg (Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle 15:20) Willie Mullins/Paul Townend
The Mullins and Paul Townend axis have been seen to stunning effect again this week. Doctor Steinberg raced a bit keenly at last month's DRF but still bossed his rivals in the latter stages as he won by eight-lengths upped to two-and-three-quarters-miles in a Grade 1. He perhaps does need to be more efficient early on in this company but he's answered every call so far in his three hurdles wins and he sets a clear standard with more improvement to come.

Jango Baie (Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup 16:00) Nicky Henderson/Nico de Boinville
Last year's Arkle winner here, Jango Baie, is the sort of progressive young contender who can thrive in the Gold Cup. He was outpaced in that Arkle before rallying and it was a similar case in the King George at Kempton over Christmas. He's 2-2 around Cheltenham previously and if stamina holds up, he can turn the tables on The Jukebox Man and Gaelic Warrior from Boxing Day.

Staking & Responsibility
A small stakes Lucky15 on these four selections could return as much as £607 for a £7.50 stake, if they all win. Punters should consider betting each-way and remember that the unit stake on a Lucky15, e.g. 50p, must be multiplied by 15 to cover all bets in the multiple.
While detailed analysis and informed opinion has gone into choosing these selections, there are no guaranteed returns in racing, though punters would get something back if even one leg is successful. Please gamble responsibly at Cheltenham and remember you must be 18+.
