With Cheltenham just around the corner we were met with the news recently that the winner of 2017’s Gold Cup, Sizing John, has had to pull out with a fracture injury to its pelvis. Whilst this is sad and many backers would have put their houses on Sizing John to come home with the Gold Cup again fear not as there are 28 races that are run over the course of The Festival and you would be surprised to know that, usually, the Gold Cup doesn’t always go to the form book.
We looked at some of the best horses running at the festival and with many of the biggest names in the racing world fancies these you’ll be in good company backing them in the Cheltenham betting. With Apples Jade looking to repeat her successes from earlier in the season she’s surely one to watch at 4/7 in the Mares Hurdle on Day 1. Of course there are no guarantees in gambling there are many other horses over the course of the festival that deserve your backing listed below.
