With the announcement
this week that last year’s champion and one of the most backed
horses for this year’s Gold Cup race, Sizing John, pulling out of
The Festival due to injury it’s left many racing fans left to
ponder who they should now back throughout Cheltenham. Had you
already backed Sizing John most bookmakers NRNB offers have come into
effect and the stake should now be returned for you to use elsewhere.
There is always a worry
when betting on the Cheltenham
Gold Cup as it’s one of those races where the formbook usually
goes out of the window and it’s mostly down to luck, chance and any
other adjective backers use when they lose a punt. We decided to look
across the rest of the 4 days of The Festival to see what value we
could find and where your money would be safest. With this in mind
we’ve picked out a selection of horses where it looks to be as a
safe money bet as you can find. With Apple’s Jade running in the
Mares Hurdle at 16:10 on day one at a price of 4/7, surely she’s
not one to be missed.
