My first tip for Thursday at Cheltenham is Galileo Dame in the opening race, the Mares' Novices' Hurdle

I thought she was really unlucky last time when she made a really bad mistake early on and got out of position. She stayed on but wasn't great at the last and got beat by a nice horse of Gavin Cromwell's. 

If she didn't make the mistake early she'd be coming here as a graded winner. Joseph O'Brien obviously needs no introduction and I really like the look of her chances.

My second one for Day 3 at the Cheltenham Festival is Fact To File in the Ryanair - I think he's a great chance having won a race for the ages earlier on in the season at Punchestown in the John Durkan, beating Galopin Des Champs. 

There's a couple of his rivals I'd be quite negative on their chances which enhances his. He won around Cheltenham last year, loves the track and should win.

Finally, Lucky Place in the Stayers' Hurdle. I just think the favourite Teahupoo isn't the odds he should be. He probably is the likeliest winner of the race but I just like Lucky Place - he's gone under the radar, he's a very underrated horse. 

He's won two races this season and people are questioning him at the trip. I'm sure he will stay and I think he represents great value in the day's feature race.
