The BetMGM Queen Mother Champion Chase is the feature race of Day Two at the Cheltenham Festival
The action continues at the Cheltenham Festival on Wednesday with another seven races taking place.
JP McManus landed a 208/1 Festival double on his birthday yesterday and is hoping to win the Champion Chase for the first time this afternoon.
Majborough looks set to go off the shortest priced favourite of the week so far for the day two feature and should be very hard to beat if he can keep his jumping together.
The supporting card is very strong also, with the opening two races (Turners’ and Brown Advisory) extremely competitive, big fields.
Here is the race card in full, as well as a tip for each race:
