Cheltenham Festival tips: Oli Bell Yankee for the opening day, including a pick in the Arkle


Oli Bell with his best bets for Cheltenham on Tuesday - and he's taking on Saint Calvados in the Racing Post Arkle.

Oli Bell's Cheltenham day one Yankee:

1.30 Cheltenham

2.10 Cheltenham

4.10 Cheltenham

5.30 Cheltenham

Summerville Boy can get us off to a flier at the Cheltenham Festival by landing the Sky Bet Supreme Novices' Hurdle. Tom George's charge beat Kalashnikov fair and square on similar ground in the Tolworth Hurdle and looks a decent bet to get the better of market leader Getabird.

I like Saint Calvados in the Racing Post Arkle. He'll love the testing ground and will be hard for even favourite Footpad to reel-in if he gets into his usual rhythm up front.

Apple's Jade isn't an original selection but looks banker material in her bid to repeat last year's win in the OLBG Mares' Hurdle and mudlark Le Rocher can run well in the finale - the Close Brothers Novice Handicap Chase.
