CHELTENHAM Festival threw up more than a few surprises on day two in the driving rain.

But while punters were getting soaked, our three celeb tipsters were under cloak and dagger finding you some winners.

Back any horse below by clicking their odds.

And don’t forget to follow all the action on day three as it happens in our brilliant live blog.

Piers Morgan

3.30pm – Stayers’ Hurdle

THYME HILL

You know, I’m a big believer in the old adage ‘horses for courses’.

And that could not be truer for my pick, who has been a superstar at the Festival in the past.

Trained by Philip Hobbs, he was third in the Champion Bumper in 2019 and fourth in the Albert Bartlett a year later.

He didn’t race here last year and won at Aintree instead.

I think it will be third time lucky at the Festival.

Harry Redknapp

4.10pm – Craft Irish Whiskey Co. Plate Handicap Chase

IMPERIAL ALCAZAR

Fergal O’Brien is a real shrewd placer of horses and, despite carrying a lot of weight here, I reckon he’s found a good spot for this eight-year-old.

He’s looked awesome since having wind surgery in April last year and I expect him to win.

Chris Hughes

5.30pm – Kim Muir Challenge Cup Amateur Jockeys’ Handicap Chase

FRONTAL ASSAULT

My pick looks to be the real stand out horse in this field.

He’s got some real good form in the book, and horses who he’s finished not too far behind have gone on to further success.

A very worthy favourite. I think at the current price this is a fantastic bet each way as I don’t see him finishing out the places.
