Cheltenham's record-winning jockey gives us his top picks for Day 1 of the 2023 Festival.

Ruby Walsh’s Tuesday Cheltenham Picks

13:30 – Facile Vega
14:10 – Saint Roi (each way)
14:50 – Fanion Destruval
15:30 – Constitution Hill, State Man (forecast)
16:10 – Brandy Love, Shewearsitwell (each way)
16:50 – Tekao
17:30 – Gaillard Du Mesnil

DAY 1 IS DONE! BUT DON’T WORRY, OUR MOB ARE BACK FOR WEDNESDAY:

13:30 – I’m with Facile Vega and, despite his bad run at the Dublin Racing Festival, I can’t turn my back on him.

14:10 – The three market leaders meet again and the tactics will be fascinating. I like Saint Roi (each-way) to hit the places.

14:50 – A tricky looking competitive where I’ve no strong opinion but Fanion D’estruval can go well for trainer Venetia Williams.

15:30 – Constitution Hill and State Man set the standard and with just seven runners there’s no each-way option outside these two.

16:10 – Brandy Love is going to improve a hell of a lot from her first run of the season at Punchestown a few weeks ago and can go well and I also like Shewearsitwell at a big price each-way.

16:50 – Tekao has a great chance given the level of form he’s shown this season and his third place behind Gala Marceau and Lossiemouth is solid form.

17:30 – Gaillard Du Mesnil should give Willie and Patrick Mullins their third National Hunt Chase victory in the finale on day one
