Cheltenham Day 2 Market Movers: All the latest news from the Betfair Exchange
It's the second day of Cheltenham and the markets have been busy as ever. Here are the headlines from the betting markets this morning...
The Ballymore Novices' Hurdle is looking more and more like a two-horse race and punters are siding with Next Destination, moving in from 7.06/1 to 5.14/1. One of Willie Mullins other runners in Scarpeta is clearly not fancied and has more than doubled in price, from 25.024/1 out to 55.054/1.
Mount Mews is a very well backed horse in the Coral Cup, currently trading around 14.013/1 after being matched early on at 19.018/1.
With Altior and Douvan taking part in the Champion Chase , very early prices on Douvan 3.3512/5 were swept up by layers and he now trades around 4.77/2. Altior remains a solid 2.226/5 favourite.
Layers also look happy to take on Cause Of Causes in the Cross Country with a price move from 3.7511/4 out to 4.47/2.
Finally the race with the most amount on the Exchange is the Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle. Both early favourites Act Of Valour and Nube Negra are completely friendless with Mitchouka, Look My Way and Eragon De Chanay all seeing strong support on the back of their drifts.
