Cheltenham Festival begins with notable horse race selections

The Cheltenham Festival begins today, featuring several Grade One races. Barry McEneaney highlights four strong favorites: Kopek Des Bordes, Majborough, Lossiemouth, and Constitution, but cautions against betting heavily on odds-on shots due to long-term profitability concerns. Kopek Des Bordes is favored in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle, with his last win impressing many. Other contenders include Romeo Coolio and Workahead, but their performances may vary based on race conditions. In the Unibet Champion Hurdle, Constitution Hill faces Lossiemouth, who struggled in their last encounter. The race dynamics may be influenced by front-runners like Burdett Road and King Of Kingsfield. McEneaney offers two selections: Jango Baie and Jade De Grugy for the day's races.
