Cheltenham Day 3 Lucky 15 Tip – Four Horse for a Thursday Lucky 15

Cheltenham Festival day 3 is set to be another tricky one for punters after nonstop rain on Wednesday played havoc with conditions. 

See what four horses our tipster would advise for a lucky 15 bet and the odds for all four selections to win their races on Thursday 16th March.

 

Day 3 Lucky 15 Tip

1.30pm – Galopin Des Champs (Evens)

2.10pm – Winter Fog (6/1)

3.30pm – Klassical Dream (9/2)

4.10pm – The Glancing Queen (4/1)

 

1:30 Cheltenham

The opener on day 3 is the intriguing clash between Galopin Des Champs and Bob Olinger in the Turners Novices Chase, the Grade 1 for the novice chases over the 2m4f trip.

It’s hard to split them but I think the likely emphasis on stamina will play to the strengths of GALOPIN DES CHAMPS. He was faultless on Chase debut and looked like a real star. He followed that up with a Grade 1 success at Dublin Racing Festival and his jumping will be a useful asset in this intriguing match up.

 

2:10 Cheltenham

Next up, is one of the most competitive handicaps of the weeks, the Pertemps Handicap Hurdle over 3m

I like WINTER FOG here for the Emmet Mullins team. I think this has been Emmet’s big handicap plot for this years Festival and he always seem to go close with them when that is the case. He got to the front too soon at Leopardstown last time out but still ran a cracker to finish second place. I think he can improve again for that effort and the jockey booking of Paul Townend is very intriguing.

 

3:30 Cheltenham 

The feature on Day 3 at HQ is the Grade 1 Stayers Hurdle over 3m and it’s a wide open renewal.

The one for me is KLASSICAL DREAM. The Supreme winner of 2019 went off the boil for a while but bounced right back to form when a well supported winner at the 2021 Punchestown Festival. He backed that up when beating the defending champion Flooring Porter over Christmas. I think he just ran too soon when disappointing in the Galmoy Hurdle last time out and I’d expect master trainer Willie Mullins to have him spot on for this today. The ground won’t be an issue.

 

4:10 Cheltenham

The 4:10 race is the Paddy Power Plate, another tricky handicap over the chase course ran over 2m4f.

The one for me is THE GLANCING QUEEN. Alan King, already in the winners enclosure this week with Edwardstone is fancied to have another winner here. She is a gutsy mare who ran a cracker on New Year’s Day here at Cheltenham when second behind L’Homme Presse who’s done a lot for that form to say the least. She’s open to further improvement and I think she’ll go close.
