Emma Spencer's Best Way To Spend £20 On Day Two Of The Cheltenham Festival

£10 Win - Chacun Pour Soi - 15:30 Queen Mother Champion Chase

Chacun Pour Soi is my fancy in a superb renewal of the Champion Chase but it obviously could have been much stronger if it was not for the withdrawal of Altior which is such sad news for the superstars connections.

However, I like the Willie Mullins trained gelding who has raced four times for the trainer since joining from France and he poses a record of three wins and one second.

He is held in very high regard by his yard and owner Rich Ricci and having landed a Grade One last time out at the Dublin Racing Festival he heads into the race in great form.

The eight year old faces market leader Defi Du Seuil for a second time in his career having breezed away from him last season at the Punchestown festival and I feel he can do the same again today.

£10 Win - Easysland - Cross Country Chase

Easysland will be an unpopular selection from myself taking on the super Tiger Roll but this six year looks an exceptional athlete winning his last six and being unbeaten in over a year giving him a huge chance in this event.

As said, he will be taking on Tiger Roll in the contest but even with the superstar in the field he is a general 4/1 to take the contest and that looks the value angle for me.

Since his win over course and distance he has bolted up at Pau racecourse in France in a very similar event that will have set him up nicely for this event.
