Cheltenham Festival tips: Oli Bell's Yankee for Gold Cup day, including Might Bite


Oli Bell takes Apple's Shakira get to him off to a flier on the final day of the Cheltenham Festival as he hunts down four winners.

I expect Nicky Henderson to have a Grade One double this afternoon. Apple's Shakira has been my long-term fancy for the JCB Triumph Hurdle and I'm not deserting her now. Might Bite is the best horse in the Timico Cheltenham Gold Cup, capable of even more improvement, and will be very hard to beat.

At a price Chesterfield looks primed for a huge run in the Vincent O'Brien County Hurdle while Caid Du Berlais can come out on top in a warm renewal of the St. James's Place Foxhunter Challenge Cup.
