excitement after an action-packed start on Champion Day.\n\nOn Tuesday, it was Lossiemouth who stole the headlines with a dominant prerformance to claim victory in the Champion Hurdle and make it four wins from four at the Festival.\n\nAnd Willie Mullins will be hoping to enjoy more success on Ladies Day with one of his other star horses, Majborough, set to race in the Queen Mother Champion Chase.\n\nA poor performance at the festival 12 months ago may have some punters fearful of backing Majborough, with Dan Skelton’s Leau Du Sud set to provide a stern challenge in Wednesday’s feature race.\n\nElsewhere, Romeo Coolio will look to provide a winner for Gordon Elliott in the Brown Advisory, while a wide open Turner’s Novices’ Hurdle should kickstart the day in unpredictable fashion.\n\nSeven races take place today with your full race list, betting tips and odds provided below.\n\n## Cheltenham Day 2 race schedule\n\n**1:20pm** – The Novices’ Hurdle\n\n**2pm** – The

today’s action with their broadcast beginning at 12:45pm.\n\nRacing TV will provide the final two races of the day.\n\n## Cheltenham Festival Day 2 betting tips\n\nSky Bet ambassadors Oli Bell and Ed Chamberlin have given their top tips for the second day’s races.\n\n**14:00 Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase – Wendigo (6/1)**\n\nEd Chamberlin: ‘In the Brown Advisory, **Wendigo** is a really good each way price. Final Demand and Co are all the talk but Wendigo is rock solid, will definitely stay, and jumps well.’\n\n**16:00 BetMGM Queen Mother Champion Chase – Leau Du Sud (4/1)**\n\nOli Bell: ‘The big race of the day and I’m going to be taking on the favourite Marjborough. I think there are too many question marks around his jumping so I’m going for **Leau Du Sud** because the Skeltons have primed him for this race.’\n\n**16:40 Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Challenge Cup Handicap Chase – Ballysax Hank (12/1)**\n\nEd Chamberlin:**** ‘**Ballysax Hank** has been really eye catching a couple of times at Leopardstown for Gavin Cormwell and I think it’s worth an each way bet in the Grand Annual.’\n\n**For more stories like this,check our sport page**.\n\n**Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on**Facebook, **Twitter and Instagram**.\n\nComment now Comments Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google Add as preferred source ",
