3.30 Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase tip

The last two winners of this, Politologue and the mare Put The Kettle On, are back for more but it’s difficult to see either of them being involved at the business end this year in one of the meeting’s most eagerly-awaited contests. Chacun Pour Soi was a hot favourite 12 months ago but only managed third behind Put The Kettle On and Nube Negra and still hasn’t won outside of Ireland since joining Willie Mullins.

His stablemate Energumene jumped superbly and did everything he could to get SHISHKIN (NAP) off the bridle in the Clarence House at Ascot in January but he had no answer as Nicky Henderson’s top two-miler clicked into overdrive having jumped the last and the latter, who won the Arkle here last year in a canter, can extend his unbeaten record. Envoi Allen seeks a third win at The Festival and could run into a place but Game Spirit winner Funambule Sivola could struggle in this grade.

3.30 Cheltenham Sky Bet offer

Sky Bet are boosting the straight forecast of Shishkin to beat Energumene to 11/2 (from 4/1) in the 3.30
