The Cheltenham roar will kick us off in race one at 1.20pm, the Supreme Novices Hurdle, which sees Old Park Star attempting to make it a winning start for Nicky Henderson.
He's won this race in previous years with star horses including Altior and Constitution Hill.
Who can forget Labaik's memorable 25/1 win in 2017 though? With 5 of the field currently priced at 33/1 and above, bookies will be hoping for a shock in the opener.
The 2.40pm Juvenile Handicap Hurdle is a great event to use your Cheltenham free bets on. With 22 runners and a favourite at around the 5/1 mark, it's an extremely wide open race. Many bookmakers are paying Each Way on the first 6 places, giving many opportunities to land a good return with even a 6th place finish!
Big prices with potential in that race include Klycot, who won impressively last time out at Wetherby, and Mino Des Mottes, who may be helped by the better ground having struggled in the mud last time out.
Another large field contest which is a great race to use your Cheltenham free bets on is the Sun Racing Plate Handicap Chase at 4.40pm. With 23 runners, bookmakers are again paying up to 6 places Each Way!
This race has been won by 20/1 and 22/1 shots in recent years. Peaky Boy is a mercurial sort but very well handicapped if he is having a good day, having finished close behind Haiti Couleurs in December.
