Whether you’re up, down or someplace within the center after day one although there’s nonetheless seven extra smashing races of prime class National Hunt fare to get caught into on Wednesday – attempt to comprise your pleasure.

We’ll know by about 1.35pm whether or not Willie Mullins made the appropriate name in diverting Ballyburn to the Gallagher Novices’ Hurdle after Slade Steel franked the shape in Tuesday’s opener.

Courtesy of Paddy Power News, their pundits Mick Fitzgerald, Ruby Walsh, Paddy Mullins, Matt Chapman and Nina Carberry supply up their ideas for day two under…

1.30 GALLAGHER NOVICES’ HURDLE 

Mick Fitzgerald

Ballyburn (9/25 with Paddy Power) is the plain decide however I’d sooner ILE ATLANTIQUE (each-way) who has some superb type to his identify.

Matt Chapman

Most will see this as a penalty kick for Ballyburn, however I’ll have a couple of quid each-way on JINGKO BLUE on the costs

Paddy Mullins

We assume the world of BALLYBURN and this can inform us whether or not we’re proper or not. Trip and floor will go well with

Ruby Walsh

BALLYBURN has been my decide in no matter race he runs in so I’ll stick to him. JIMMY DU SEUIL may very well be an each-way play.

Nina Carberry

Now that BALLYBURN runs right here he’s nonetheless the one to beat.

2.10 BROWN ADVISORY CHASE

Mick Fitzgerald

I’m not as satisfied that Fact To File will relish this 3m journey. STAY AWAY FAY is a really robust stayer and I’d sooner aspect with him if this turns right into a slog.

Matt Chapman

I’m an enormous STAY AWAY FAY supporter whoever beats him right here must be an actual star. Of course Fact to File would possibly, however I’ll stick to Harry Cobden.

Paddy Mullins

FACT TO FILE (4/5 with Paddy Power) jumps, settles, and has a high-cruising velocity and a flip of foot. The full bundle.

Ruby Walsh

FACT TO FILE must be too fast for Stay Away Fay who must do a whole lot of the donkey work now up entrance.

Nina Carberry

I fancy MONTY’S STAR each-way to run a giant race

2.50: CORAL CUP HANDICAP HURDLE 

Mick Fitzgerald

DODDIETHEGREAT ran very well within the 2m Betfair Hurdle and the step up in journey to 2m 5f ought to actually go well with him.

Matt Chapman

The one I’m risking right here is MIGHT I. He’s attention-grabbing off 142 having been fourth this time final yr off 145 within the Martin Pipe behind Iroko.

Paddy Mullins

If SA MAJESTE runs like he works at dwelling then he’s properly handicapped.

Ruby Walsh

Willie Mullins saddles SA MAJESTE who may very well be properly handicapped however his value is brief sufficient now for a handicap like this. I favor FIRST STREET (each-way) for a little bit of worth.

Nina Carberry

BUILT BY BALLYMORE (4/1 with Paddy Power) is ready up for this race, he’s been laid out for all of it season.

3.30 CHAMPION CHASE

Mick Fitzgerald

1 really feel like a deserter ignoring Jonbon however the whole lot has to go proper for him to win. EL FABIOLO simply at all times finds a approach to get the job performed.

Matt Chapman

I’m massively within the EL FABIOLO camp and anticipate him to show the excellent two-miler chaser of the season.

Paddy Mullins

EL FABIOLO beat Jonbon final yr and will affirm that consequence once more.

Ruby Walsh

I nonetheless assume the angle on JONBON (each-way) stands up. I can’t see him out of the three so that you’ll get your a reimbursement. If he beats El Fabiolo you’ll get a bunch extra.

Nina Carberry

I can’t get away from EL FABIOLO.

4.10 GLENFARCLAS CROSS COUNTRY 

Mick Fitzgerald

DELTA WORK is an actual course specialist and appears for a hat-trick of wins on this contest. He’s a confirmed performer.

Matt Chapman

I wished to oppose the previous Gold Cup hero MINELLA INDO however he’ll love the heavy floor and he actually does have a good chance of profitable.

Paddy Mullins

MINELLA INDO is a former Gold Cup winner within the Cross Country. He picks himself.

Ruby Walsh

The Cross Country course faces an 8am inspection on Wednesday. If the bottom is that heavy it can go well with COKO BEACH.

Nina Carberry

I’m going with GALVIN who put in an excellent run at Navan final time.

4.50 GRAND ANNUAL CHASE 

Mick Fitzgerald

LIBBERTY HUNTER is a novice with some superb type this season. The reserving of prime UK jockey Harry Cobden must be famous.

Matt Chapman

UNEXPECTED PARTY (each-way) would need higher floor however he would possibly simply be a really properly handicapped. If held up off a robust gallop may very well be very attention-grabbing.

Paddy Mullins

SAINT ROI at all times runs properly at Cheltenham and is a Grade 1 horse in a handicap.

Ruby Walsh

Two towards the sphere for me in SAINT ROI who ran properly sufficient within the Arkle final yr and LIBBERTY HUNTER.

Nina Carberry

SAN FUREUR was a really first rate hurdler and has good chase type this season. He steps in to handicap firm now and handles delicate floor.

5.30 CHAMPION BUMPER 

Mick Fitzgerald

Romeo Coolio appeared superb when profitable at Fairyhouse and will give his house owners purpose to have a good time after Mount Ida gained for them at a ‘Covid’ Cheltenham.

Matt Chapman

For a while I’ve been siding with YOU OUGHTA KNOW (each-way) who’s one among many who goes for Willie Mullins. An enormous discipline and powerful tempo ought to go well with.

Paddy Mullins

JASMIN DE VEUX put in probably the most visually spectacular efficiency at Naas and I’m fortunate sufficient to be using him.

Ruby Walsh

ARGENTO BOY (EACH-WAY) performs higher on the observe than he does in his homework and can keep going within the delicate floor.

Nina Carberry

I’ve to go along with THE YELLOW CLAY. There’s much more to come back from him.
