This year's Cheltenham Festival is coming ever closer and to get us in the mood for our daily tips we are going to put forward an Acca to cover the four days of top class racing.

Once again the racing looks ultra competitive but we are confident we have picked out the 5 'festival bankers'. Obviously it isn't that simple but the horses we have have put together for this Acca all look to have outstanding chances and they are most definitely the ones to beat in their respected contests. So on to our selections:

March 14th - Arkle Chase - Altior 1/4 - Last year's Supreme Novices Hurdle winner is a short price to take the Arkle and for good reason. He has looked every bit as good over fences as he was over hurdles and then some. With decent opposition a bit thin on the ground the Arkle really looks there for the taking.

March 15th - Champion Chase - Douvan 1/4 - Like Altior, Douvan is also very short but again there is reason for that. Another former Supreme Novices winner, Douvan added the Arkle to his list of honours at last years festival. Having already beaten most of the opposition at some point it's very hard to see Douvan not being crowned Champion Chaser.

March 16th - JLT Novices Chase - Yorkhill 11/8 - Another former festival winner, Yorkhill, looks to have a golden opportunity of making it 2/2 at Prestbury Park. He has been sent novice chasing this season and although he hasn't quite sparkled you get the feeling he will be back to his imperious best in the JLT.

March 16th - Stayer's Hurdle - Unowhatimeanharry 11/8 - Unbeaten since joining trainer Harry Fry, Unowhatimeanharry just hasn't stopped improving over the last 18 months. He ended last season winning the Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle here at Cheltenham and has looked even better this season, sweeping all before him.

March 17th - Foxhunters Chase - On The Fringe 6/4 - Enda Bolger's star is going for a hat-trick in this race and he will take a fair bit of beating. Although he made hard work of winning last year, he went on to take the festival clean sweep, winning at Aintree and Punchestown also. He has some decent opposition this year but On The Fringe looks the one to be with.

Arkle - Altior 1/4

Champion Chase - Douvan 1/4

JLT - Yorkhill 11/8

Stayers' Hurdle - Unowhatimeanharry 5/4

Foxhunters - On The Fringe 11/8 

Paddy Power: 21/1 - BET NOW! 

Paddy over are best priced for this festival long accumulator. They are actually about 10% more than the closest bookie in second, who are that of Boylesport. I'm thinking this is offering up great value, especially considering the calibre of horses that we have included. 

Also, with Paddy Power you are going to be able to get a £30 free bet when you bet just £10! So, you could place the £10 on this acca then use the rest of the £30 money throughout the festival.
