As the Cheltenham Festival approaches, racing experts Matt Chapman and Paddy Brennan present opposing views on the Unibet Champion Hurdle. Chapman has controversially switched his tip to Brighterdaysahead, while Brennan maintains his support for defending champion Golden Ace in what promises to be a fascinating opening day race.

Chapman explains his change of heart stems from Brighterdaysahead's superior rating of 160, giving her a significant weight advantage over rivals. The commentator dismisses concerns about her Cheltenham pedigree, noting her second-place finish to Golden Ace when supposedly "not right" and highlighting Gordon Elliott's positive assessment.

Brennan remains unconvinced, pointing to Brighterdaysahead's stable move to Olly Murphy's yard as a potential negative. He emphasizes her history of finishing behind Golden Ace and expresses confidence that the defending champion will once again prevail, suggesting her recent absence was strategic rather than a weakness.
