2.40pm – Mustang Du Breuil
2.40pm – Manlaga
2.40pm – Saratoga
3.20pm – Johnnywho
3.20pm – Jagwar

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “JP McManus turns 75 on Day One of the Cheltenham Festival and we think it could be a birthday to remember.

“JP has a host of big chances across the day, with the likes of Mighty Park, The New Lion, Jagwar, Saratoga and McLaurey all well fancied to do the business on Tuesday. We’re not quite running for cover just yet, but we’re braced for the money to arrive in spades for plenty of his runners tomorrow.

“Anticipating a big week for those running in the ‘Green and Gold’ we make it just a 3/1 shot that JP has seven winners this week. With those big horses on the Tuesday, and Majborough, Fact To File and others to follow, the birthday boy could be set for his best Cheltenham yet.”
