Cheltenham Day Two: Our tipster gives his selections

Fancy a flutter?

There was an early surprise on day one of Cheltenham as 25/1 shot Labaik reigned in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle.

The other shock from the opening day was that Willie Mullins ended it without a winner.

The good news for Mullins is that Irish Examiner columnist Ruby Walsh is far more confident of a winner today.

Here Irish Examiner Racing Correspondent Tommy Lyons gives his tips ahead of day two of the Festival.
