And seeing as it’s Cheltenham, let’s push the boat out and try our luck with the following four selections in an each-way Lucky 15.

Remember, in a Lucky 15 your bets are four single bets, six doubles, four trebles and one four-fold accumulator.

MELON (2.30)

He keeps coming to Cheltenham and getting into the frame with a creditable four seconds at the Festival. He was beaten on the nod for the Marsh Chase 12 months ago and should be right there again.

FLOORING PORTER (3.05)

He landed his first Grade 1 when beating The Storyteller in the Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown last time. That was a good effort over this trip and his staying power will be a major asset up the hill.

CARIBEAN BOY (3.40)

He has shown some flashes of really good form for Nicky Henderson this season including when taking a Newbury Grade 2 in November. He wasn’t beaten far at Sandown last time and is capable of improvement.

MOUNT IDA (4.50)

She’s done well since switching to chases with a Grade 3 success at Cork before Christmas. She was a solid second at Thurles last time and looks set to improve for this big hike in distance.

Don’t forget, SunSport tipster Templegate has given a verdict on every race at Cheltenham on Thursday – and around the UK.
