Oli Bell best bets for Cheltenham on Saturday

Really good staying hurdler and interesting runner here from a mark of 140. Third in this last year from a three-pound higher mark and will go close with a clear round.

Useful in bumpers and made big impression when winning maiden at Gowran on hurdling debut. More to come and can improve past the more established stars here.

Exciting novice two seasons ago and ran in the top two-mile chases after making winning return at Naas last term. Looks capable of conceding weight all round here from a mark of 155.

Handicapper has given him a chance for this return to hurdles and big player on best form. Has had wind op since last run and Stuart Edmunds team in great form.
