Ahead of Day Two of the Cheltenham Festival, let's take a little look at each horse's form in every race and how they could fare under the current place markets.
Finding value at Cheltenham is especially difficult sometimes, however, this is where we can look elsewhere, away from the win markets and pick up some decent prices either from the E/W market, or closer to the time, using the form guide.
Cheltenham Preview
In this preview, we will solely be looking at the numbers of form, rather than looking at the races of each day and giving some information about this. If the latter is what you are looking for, consider checking out our preview for the 2025 edition of Cheltenham.
Style Wednesday - Form Guide
Day 2 is certainly more open than Day 1, making it quite a nice day for place money. At present, only one of the seven races has a favourite that is under Evens.
Due to the number of runners in certain races, we have split each race into its own segment, so if you are looking for a specific race, please use the 'Table of Contents' tab above to access the race.
If you are looking for tips, then check out our tipster Conlan's tips for Day Two of the festival.
