Cheltenham Festival 2023 day 2 full race card and tips - list of runners Wednesday

Willie Mullins runs four in today's opening race as he aims to add to the two winners he had on Tuesday.

Impaire Et Passe has been tipped all over the place in the past few weeks and his price reflects that at the top of the market.

But he is joined in the 2m5f race by stablemates Gaelic Warrior, Champ Kiely and Ho My Lord, while Paul Nicholls runs Hermes Allen and Barry Connell has Dublin Racing Festival winner Good Land.

The Ballymore kicks off another cracking day's racing, which sees Energumene defend his Champion Chase crown, while Gerri Colombe looks set to go off a short-priced favourite in the Brown Advisory.

There is also the Coral Cup, Cross Country, Grand Annual and Champion Bumper.
