Racing tips: Sun Racing Tote Placepot selections for Thursday at the Festival

YOU can win big from a small stake at the Cheltenham Festival by putting on a Placepot.

All you need to do is pick a minimum of one horse from the first six races, and if they finish placed you cash in! Here are our selections for day three.

Race 1 – 1.30 Marsh Novices' Chase

Itchy Feet is the one to beat but Nicky Henderson has had a cracking week and his MISTER FISHER is worth whacking in.

He's smart in his own right and could do a few of these for a turn of foot.

Race 2 – 2.10 Pertemps Handicap Hurdle

SKANDIBURG is rock solid here. He's chasing a hat-trick and it doesn't look like the handicapper has caught up with him just yet.

Chuck in DREAM BERRY too who has been kept back for this and looks a huge price if he gets the trip.

 Race 3 – 2.50 Ryanair Chase

Play it safe with A PLUS TARD here. He's rock solid and is by far and away the one they all have to beat.

He's yet another superb chance for Rachael Blackmore and Henry De Bromhead.

Race 4 – 3.30 Stayers' Hurdle

PAISLEY PARK will win this so let's try and get it in the bag and move on.

He's a staying superstar and it'll be a huge shock if he doesn't deliver the goods again.

Race 5 – 4.10 Brown Advisory & Merriebelle Stable Plate Handicap

SIMPLY THE BETTS is one of my strongest fancies for the week. His form has been boosted again this week and I think he'll win this.

MISTER WHITAKER is also worth a token back at his favourite track.

Race 6 – 4.50 Mares' Novices' Hurdle

MINELLA MELODY can play the right tune in our last leg.

She's another of the supposed Irish bankers and looks a class above these.
