Cheltenham Festival: Simon Rowlands shares his tips for day one as Teahupoo takes Champion Hurdle test

Simon Rowlands has four bets online for the opening day of the Cheltenham Festival on Tuesday. He has an each-way selection in the Champion Hurdle. The Champion is a test for unbeaten Honeysuckle. Zanahiyr has something to prove. He is the one the market fancies most to upset the applecart. Simon Rowland has not been on any Preview panels in recent weeks. His non-public tipping has been dire. It is possible that his losses cost no one other than him. Cheltonham gets underway on Monday. Jump racing's "Olympics" gets started on the Tuesday with the Unibet Champion. HURTLE at 3.30.

Kilcruit is a horse trained by Mullins. He is slightly behind his stable companion Dysart Dynamo on my figures. Kilc Fruit was unlucky not to beat Sir Gerhard last season. Edwardstone is favourite for the Arkle. He has his conditions and the likelihood of a strong pace.

Simon Rowlands shares his tips for day one of the Cheltenham Festival. Floueur can go well in the Ultima Handicap Chase (2.50). Ireland-trained horses have just two Welsh- trained rivals for Ukraine Appeal National Hunt Chase. Run Wild Fred has the best form and fewer doubts regarding stamina. Telmesomethinggirl is a worthy favourite for the Mares' Hurdle (4.30). Gaelic Warrior is short-priced and he looks to have been let in lightly by a good few pounds on his French form.

Simon Rowlands' Cheltenham Festival selections are: Sky Bet Supreme Novices' Hurdle (1.30), Ultima Handicap Chase (2.50), Unibet Champion HURTLE (3.00), Ukraine Appeal National Hunt Challenge Cup (5. 30) and Run Wild Freddy (6.45).
