Tuesday is done and dusted and it’s now all eyes on Day Two of the 2025 Cheltenham Festival, which means it’s again time for Paddy’s shiny, new, free-to-play game ELIMINATOR.
Not sure what we’re on about? Seriously, how big was that rock you’ve been under?
We’ve got a comprehensive how to play eliminator guide ready for you, but it’s pretty straightforward – for six races on Wednesday, you simply select 6-5-4-3-2-1 (21) runners in races 1-3-4-5-6-7.
All you need is ONE of your selections to win in each race and you’ll progress to the next round – until you’re left with a single pick in the final race. Anyone still going in that final race and picking the winner will get a share of the £/€250k pot. To get stuck in, you’ll need to ENTER HERE.
Not sure who to back? Well, three of the best have got you covered with their selections for Wednesday’s game.
Top tipster Paul Jacobs has shared his selections for all six races featured in Wednesday’s Eliminator below. Cheltenham legend Ruby Walsh and his From The Horse’s Mouth podcast pal Rory Delargy have also chipped in with their verdicts.
