Siobhan Mullins - Cheltenham Outsiders
1 minute Siobhan Mullins returns with three great price each way bets for Day 2 of the Cheltenham Festival.
2.40 CHELTENHAM
BetMGM Cup Handicap Hurdle (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race)
LUCKY PLACE - 20/1
LUCKY PLACE could be a lively outsider after finishing fourth in this race in 2024. A dual Grade Two winner, including success in the Relkeel Hurdle at Cheltenham, he brings some of the strongest form in the field. Dropped 2lb to a mark of 151 and coming here after another solid effort in Grade Two company, he should be staying on strongly and could surprise a few in this open contest.
HMS SEAHORSE - 50/1
HMS SEAHORSE could benefit being bottom of the weights. He ran in this race three years ago as a five year old and now returns from a lower mark, suggesting he is well treated. His best performances have often come after a break and he appears to have been saved for this contest, while the 5lb claim of Eoin Staples further strengthens his each way prospects.
4.40 CHELTENHAM
Debenhams Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Challenge Cup Handicap Chase (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race)
RELIEVED OF DUTIES - 18/1
RELIEVED OF DUTIES looks an interesting runner now switching to handicap company. He showed promise earlier in the season when finishing second at Cheltenham and was considered good enough to compete in Grade Two company. Given a mark of 136 and returning to a track where he has already run well, he could improve significantly and make his presence felt from the lower end of the weights.
