We've picked out three outsiders for Cheltenham Festival day 2, perfect for your Tote free bets.

1.20pm - Skylight Hustle

This race is one of the deepest of the Festival, but Skylight Hustle looks overpriced in the market at double figure odds.

He's rated 148, the joint second highest in the field, and won the the Future Champions Novice Hurdle (Grade 1) when last seen. He's got plenty of stamina for the hill, and will have improved for the two and a half month break since his last run.

Gordon Elliott won this race in both 2018 and 2020, and he's got a great chance again here.

3.20pm - Fakir d'Oudairies

A top class horse - winning four Grade 1 chases - Fakir d'Oudairies is now with top cross country trainer Enda Bolger and has a great chance here.

The race is now a handicap, and he gets in off a mark of just 145 - that's 17lb lower than the top weight Stumptown.

He's had two attempts at this discipline so far, and will have learnt a lot for both of those experiences. He found everything happening a bit too quickly on his debut here last time and is worth a close look in the betting market if an Each Way today.

5.20pm - Charismatic Kid

Another Gordon Elliott horse we like is this five year old. He's only had two runs so far, but finished a close third in a Grade 2 when last seen.

He's available at attractive Each Way odds with Tote and may well end up paying double figures for a top 3 finish on the Tote.

He was bought for £300,000 after his debut bumper win and it looked like he'd improve for faster ground which he gets today.
