The Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle begins proceedings on day 2 with the Champion Bumper bringing the curtain down. However, at 15:30 you can bet that all eyes will be on the Queen Mother Champion Chase. First run in 1959 this Grade 1 National Hunt Steeplechase is open to horses aged five years and older. Twelve fences and two miles separates the runners and £400,000. Altior looks set to start as favourite, however who do you think RaceBets ambassadors Sam Twiston-Davies and Luke Harvey have gone for? Find out below.
