With
the Cheltenham Festival just weeks away, much of the talk around the
Cheltenham bet market is who the favourites to win the race are. But
anybody who wants to take a risk in the hope of getting a good return
on their Cheltenham bet will want to know which of the outsiders have
a real chance of winning the race. Here’s a rundown of the horses
whose odds might not be the greatest but still have a good change of
earning you a good return on your Cheltenham bet.
Whilst
the vast majority of bets will be made on the headlining Cheltenham
Gold Cup, there is a lot of money to be made on the other races over
the four day festival.
Whilst Barters Hill is the strong favourite to win with odds of 5/2,
the rest of the horses in the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle have
some really rewarding odds to try your luck on. The next favourite
with bookmakers Coral is Shantou Village with odds of just 6/1,
followed by Yorkhill at 8/1. Behind them there are a handful of
horses at 12/1 that still have a good chance of taking victory,
including Gangster. The horse has recently only just took the step up
into Grade 3, so very little is known about how he will perform
against real competition, but you can keep up to date with what we do
know and the
ABC facts of the Cheltenham Festival
on the Coral website.
But
the race that will attract the most money over the festival is the
Cheltenham Gold Cup, so the bookmakers could be hit hard if one of
their outsiders finishes well. Over the years, horse racing has
proven that anything to happen, so although it’s massively unlikely
one of the horses at the back of the field will win, it can be
massively rewarding if it pays off. Currently on the Coral website,
Ballycasey and Roi Du Mee have long odds of 150/1, but there is a lot
of time for the bookmakers to narrow those odds so get in early to
take full advantage of them.
If
you’re looking for an outsider with a better chance of winning,
then Seeyouatmidnight
has odds of just 33/1
with bookmakers Coral. Although the horse finished only seventh in
the World Hurdle at last year’s Cheltenham Festival, the horse has
been building in confidence over the last 12 months. Seeyouatmidnight
proved his potential on New Year’s Day by beating favourite Three
Musketeers and proving once again he’s a consistently good jumper
and a strong runner.
Another
horse who surprisingly only has odds of 33/1 is the winner of last
year’s Grand National Many Clouds. Although he hit the headlines
after winning one of the biggest races in the world, the horse hasn’t
won
any of the three races he’s competed in since.
Many Clouds has come a close second in his last two races, so even if
he doesn’t win, he could earn you a big reward on your Cheltenham
bet if he places in the same position.
