Cheltenham Festival tips: 4.50 Mrs Paddy Power Mares' Chase

Check out Man On The Spot's tip for the next race at Cheltenham, plus details of Sky Bet's offer for the race.

4.50 Mrs Paddy Power Mares' Chase

Willie Mullins had the 1-2 in this last year and both of his runners today again have strong claims. Elimay was second 12 months ago to Colreevy and the grey will be fancied to go one better getting 3lb from Concertista, who is 2-2 over fences but didn’t have much to beat last time at Limerick. MOUNT IDA beat Elimay at Fairyhouse in January when conceding weight and appears to have come on in leaps and bounds since beaten by the same rival at Fairyhouse last season.

Pink Legend and Vienna Court finished 1-2 at Huntingdon but the former was beaten when falling at Uttoxeter last month in the race won by Zambella, who is useful when the ground is on the soft side of good. Scarlet And Dove is held on Irish form and Maid O'Malley looks to be well out of her depth.

4.50 Cheltenham - Sky Bet offer

Sky Bet are paying 4 places instead of 3 in the 4.50 and offering a Premium Price Boost on Elimay for Sporting Life readers.
