Live blog: Keep up-to-date with traders picks for the opening day as and when they come in
The greatest show on turf gets underway on Tuesday and more importantly punters across the nation will be able to cast their eyes upon the first set of daily picks in the coveted 2019 Cheltenham Traders Tipping League.
Trading teams across the country had a 20 point allowance to spend on ante-post selections and are now required to assign a further 10 points on minimum two horses per day. Minimum bet of 1 point, maximum 5 points. The best-price is taken from Oddschecker at the time each team sends through their picks, with place terms of the best-price bookmaker used. See below for day one picks as they come in.
