Cheltenham Betting

The Cheltenham Festival dominates the jumps racing season and 2009 looks set to be a classic. The highlight among many is likely to be Friday’s Gold Cup where Kauto Star, imperious in the 2007 edition, looks set to re-oppose Denman, stablemate and hugely impressive victor of the race last year. Paul Nicholls, trainer of both, will also bring 2008 Champion Chase winner Master Minded for a tilt at regaining that same crown. The Irish challenge will be strong in the hurdles with Hurricane Fly and Quinola Des Obeaux both strong horses for Willie Mullins.

His form is there for all to see, but Racing UK and betmaverick.com analyst Graham Cunningham feels a live danger lurks within his own stable.... Read more
