Wednesday:
There are now doubts about Altior even running in the Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase but even before they emerged one of the pundits was rowing in against Nicky Henderson's unbeaten chaser. There are some puzzled looks elsewhere on the leather sofas.
🏇🙌 The Champion Chase takes centre stage on day two of the Cheltenham Festival!

💷 @BenLinfoot's best bet comes from that race but @olibellracing, @chamberlinsport, @DaveOrd look elsewhere for their bankers

At last we have a strong view from Oli Bell - in fact his strongest of the week. Sam Spinner will win the Sun Bets Stayers' Hurdle according to the face of The Opening Show. And he has a photograph primed to show his support.

Friday:
There's a difference of opinion between the two Sporting Life colleagues when it comes to the Timico Cheltenham Gold Cup. Linfoot and Ord both have confident selections...sadly they aren't the same horse.
