Need some help and inspiration deciding who to back at Cheltenham ? Sportsmail 's Peter Scudamore and Marcus Townend reveal their favourites while a group of racing enthusiast celebrities have also shared their tips for the Festival on day two . PETER SCUDAMORE - Eight-time champion jockey and rider of 13 Festival winners . BEAST OF BURDEN . ( Neptune Investment Novices ’ Hurdle , 1.30 ) This Rebecca Curtis-trained contender has long been on my radar and looks a horse of massive potential . Beaten over a shorter distance at Newbury over Christmas — his hurdling debut — but has won his other three races this season with great authority . BEST ODDS : 12-1 . Beast Of Burden winning the Excel Signs Novices ' Hurdle Race at Bangor-on-Dee Races on February 6 . DON POLI . ( RSA Chase , 2.05 ) One of the Irish hotpots of the week and looks a future Gold Cup contender . Won the Martin Pipe Conditional Novices ’ Handicap Hurdle at last year ’ s meeting and has won his two races as a novice chaser . The most recent of those was his authoritative three-length defeat of the highly-rated Apache Stronghold in the Grade One Topaz Novices ’ Chase at Leopardstown over Christmas . BEST ODDS : 6-4 . Don Poli , ridden by jockey Mikey Fogarty , winning the Conditional Jockeys ' Handicap Hurdle last year . Racemail tipsters got off to a stunning start on the opening day . Robin Goodfellow ( Sam Turner ) and Captain Heath ( Marcus Townend ) napped 8-1 National Hunt Chase winner Cause Of Causes , while Townend also landed his next best bet ( The Druids Nephew 8-1 ) to complete an 80-1 double . Turner also picked winners Douvan ( 2-1 ) , Un De Sceaux ( 4-6 ) and Champion Hurdle winner Faugheen ( 4-5 ) , while Peter Scudamore went for the first two Willie Mullins ’ winners . BARADARI . ( Coral Cup , 2.40 ) Rated by jockey Aidan Coleman ( above ) as one of his best chances of the meeting . His boss Venetia Williams has to be respected here and this contender looks like he still could be a touch in front of the handicapper . BEST ODDS : 16-1 . SIRE DE GRUGY . ( Queen Mother Champion Chase , 3.20 ) Usually two quick runs might be a negative with the chance they have knocked the competitive edge of horse but Gary Moore ’ s reigning champion thrives on racing and there are very positive reports emanating from his Sussex stable as he prepares to defend his crown . He looks to have put his injury problems behind him judging by his last time out Chepstow win . Punters looking for a longer-priced each-way option should consider Simply Ned . BEST ODDS : 3-1 . Baradari ( right ) on the way to winning The Keltbray Holloway 's Hurdle Race at Ascot on January 17 , 2015 . MARCUS TOWNEND - on the best each-way bets . BARADARI . ( Coral Cup , 2.40 ) Staying on really strongly when fifth in last year ’ s shorter Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle and was on the mark over two miles three furlongs at Ascot in December . That form has worked out well . This stiffer test looks likely to elicit even more improvement and he looks one of Venetia Williams ’ best chances of the week . She won this in 2005 with Idole First . BEST ODDS : 16-1 . SOURIYAN . ( Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle , 4.40 ) Lambourn trainer Jamie Snowden was successful on the opening day of last year ’ s meeting with Present View and , although that injured gelding has unfortunately not made it back the time , this stablemate looks a lively outsider . Has won only one of his three hurdle races but his two defeats should not be held against him , especially last time out on bottomless ground at Ffos Las . Has improvement in him . BEST ODDS : 25-1 . Modus ridden by Tom O'Brien winning the EBF Junior ' Standard Open NH Flat Race at Cheltenham last year . MODUS . ( Weatherbys Champion Bumper , 5.15 ) Eighth in this race last year and purposely saved for another crack at the prize by his Welsh trainer Robert Stephens . He reckons his contender is a much stronger more mature performer now so he can give the Irish , who dominate this race , a run for their money . BEST ODDS : 25-1 . AND THE CELEBS ... Here ’ s who the celebs are backing in the Queen Mother Champion Chase . GRAHAM CUNNINGHAM - Channel 4 Racing pundit . SPRINTER SACRE . Sometimes it is best to let your heart rule your head and I am cheering for Sprinter Sacre to get 50,000 hearts racing . JOHN MCCRIRICK - Former racing pundit . CHAMPAGNE FEVER . Has a fantastic course and Festival record and is also tactically adaptable . He can win held up or making the running . Sky Sports pundit and former Footballer Alan McInally ( left ) has backed Sire De Grugy for victory . ALAN MCINALLY - Former footballer and pundit . SIRE DE GRUGY . Looks to be back to his best and it ’ s a tip I got from the horse ’ s mouth – Jeff Stelling ! EMMA SPENCER - Channel 4 Racing presenter . SIRE DE GRUGY .
