Cheltenham Champion Hurdle

· ·

The Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle is the flagship race of Tuesday at the Cheltenham Festival. Go Native currently leads the betting at 7/2 with Paddy Power. If you are betting on Cheltenham this Tuesday then be sure to check out the details of the Dunguib money back special as well as the free bets available from our online betting partners below.

Solwhit on Antibiotics

Questions over Solwhit’s fitness are casting a cloud over the betting. Jockey Davy Russell has confirmed that the horse is travelling to the festival but is on a course of antibiotics which are quite likely to make him a non-runner. Nonetheless Solwhit remains well respected in the betting but he has drifted and is now best priced at 11/2. Genie says that history tells us that a horse needs to have near perfect preparation if they are to win at Cheltenham and by the sounds of it this horse will be shy of its best even if it does run. Unfortunate as it seems I am going to have to overlook Solwhit’s chances this year.

Go Native won the supreme novices hurdle last year and is looking for back-to-back festival wins. Paul Carberry will be on board the Noel Meade trained 7 year old. Looking at the depth and quality of the field it is definitely worth thinking about opposing the favourite. 3 wins in the last 4 races sounds good but, in reality, the biggest field was 7 and none of them were convincing enough to command the short price.

Instead in this race I am going to spring for AP McCoy and Binocular who can be backed at a tasty 7/1 with Paddy Power. Last years 6/4 favourite will be keen to make amends for a below par performance and the signs are there that Binocular can come back to form. The 7/1 is generous about a horse that, on it’s day, should have too much for the field.

Champion Hurdle Betting

Current race odds from Paddy Power are:

7/2 Go Native
11/2 Solwhit
7/1 Binocular
15/2 Punjabi
8/1 Khyber Kim
8/1 Medermit
9/1 Zaynar
10/1 Celestial Halo
12/1 Starluck50/1 Won In The Dark
66/1 Jumbo Rio
200/1 Raise Your Heart

Binocular should have enough in reserve to beat what is, versus history, a fairly weak field in the Cheltenham Champion Hurdle. If you have not heard the big news in online betting then check out the Dunguib money back special as well as our free bets table below.

Cheltenham Ladbrokes World Hurdle

· ·

Big Bucks is the Cheltenham Festival’s biggest banker this year with a best price of 8/13 available with Paddy Power. Having won the Ladbroke’s World Hurdle last year, the champion is back to reclaim his throne. The 3 mile grade 1 hurdle is over 3 miles and the prize money on offer in 2010 is £260,000. Online betting firms offer excellent free bets to new users. Details are listed at the foot of the article.

Big Bucks Double?

The Paul Nicholls trained 7 year-old will be ridden by Ruby Walsh once again and has been going from strength to strengh since winning at last year’s festival at a juicy 6/1. Hindsight vision is 20/20 of course but this horse really does look as close to unbeatable coming in to this year’s race. Recent wins at Newbury in November and December reemphasised the gulf in class between Big Bucks and the rest.

Genie has looked at the form and there are no worthy challengers to the throne. Big Bucks jumps like a salmon and is tried and proven is all kinds of ground and weather. Karabak ran a brave race at Newbury in December, coming second to Big Bucks but even AP McCoy won’t be able to find the extra 2 gears needed to really challenge. Tidal Bay is coming off the back of a win at the Betfair Cleeve Hurdle on the track in January but the truth is that this race is 2 years too late for the once great hurdler. Both are currently available at 7/1 with Paddy Power.

In summary there are 2 races going on here; The first is how many links will Big Bucks win by? The second is who will win the ‘best of the rest’. Genie’s answer to the first one is between 6 and 8 and the ‘best of the rest race’ should be won by Karabak .

World Hurdle Betting

Current race odds from Paddy Power are:

8/13 Big Bucks
6/1 Karabak
7/1 Tidal Bay
14/1 Sentry Duty
20/1 Time For Rupert
20/1 Katchit
20/1 Cousin Vinny
28/1 Mourad
33/1 War Of Attrition
33/1 Powerstation
33/1 Lie Forrit
50/1 __BAR__

Cheltenham Queen Mother Champion Chase

· ·

The Cheltenham Queen Mother Champion Chase field for the festival in 2010 is headed by Master Minded who is best priced 5/6 with Paddy Power. Expect about 12 runners to line up for the the 2 mile, grade 1 encounter this year. You have probably all set up your new online betting accounts by Wednesday but if you haven’t already done so then check out the free bets available to Geniebet readers at the base of the article.

Master Minded Hat-Trick?

Paddy Power are boldly taking the favourite on at this early stage despite strong signals from trainer Paul Nicholls that the horse might be back to his best form when he destroyed the competition in this very same race. With Ruby Walsh on board he is looking to go down in history with a hat-trick of wins against what is once again a very competitive field. 5/6 does seem like an appealing proposition when you consider that this horse went off at 4/11 just 1 year ago and has shown no dip in form since then. The only question mark over Master Minded remains when the ground is heavy so expect the price to drift if the rain is falling. In the November Cheltenham meeting he ran a bad third in a 6 horse race, finishing one paced and well behind eventual winner Well Chief. Nicholls was quick to dismiss the result, putting it down to a rib injury that needed 6 weeks rest and all is 100% again according to the Champion Trainer.

If you are looking to oppose the favourite in this race then Genie would recommend looking no further than Big Zeb at 9/1.The Colin Murphy trained journeyhorse is a tough nut and has shown steely resolve in the past when the going gets tough. The 9 year-old underperformed badly in this race last year with Robert Thornton onboard (fell at the 9th). Barry Geraghty has been the jockey of choice since then and 3 wins in the past 5 races suggest that this is a horse whose form is certainly not diminishing.

Victory might be one step too far for Kalahari King, Twist Magic and Forpadydeplasterer unless Masterminded is a faller. Big Zeb loves a fight and if Geraghty can keep within touching distance for the last few furlongs then his chances are real.

In summary Genie thinks that the smart money is on Master Minded in this race but for those looking for a bigger price, you would be well advised to pick Big Zeb as the ‘best of the rest.’

Queen Mother Champion Chase Betting

Current race odds from Paddy Power are:

5/6 Master Minded
9/2 Kalahari King
7/1 Twist Magic
8/1 Forpadydeplasterer
9/1 Big Zeb
16/1 Petit Robin
28/1 Barker
33/1 Well Chief
40/1 __BAR__

That wraps up Genie’s guide to online betting on the Cheltenham Queen Mother Champion Chase. I’ll be glued to the screen at 3:20 on St Patrick’s Day, biting my nails and washing it down with a pint of stout as I hopefully watch Masterminded complete the hat-trick and romp to victory.

Dunguib Form & Cheltenham Money Back Special Offers

· ·

Dunguib heads into this year’s Cheltenham in top form and is ranked as one of the festival’s hot favourites. He is currently available with Paddy Power at 10/11 to win the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle who are also offering a generous money back special offer if Dunguib wins the race.

Don’t let Paddy Power’s stance fool you. All racing experts of note are unanimous in agreeing that this horse has at least a 50% chance of winning the race so there will be a lot of sweat spilled on the PP racedesk around 13:30 on Cheltenham Tuesday.

Dunguib was bred by Liam Meade and is trained by the great, Philip Fenton. BT O’Connell is Fenton’s jockey of choice when it comes to riding his stable star. With 8 wins from 9 starts to date, On Raglan Road has the honour of being the only horse to finish ahead of Dunguib to date.

Expect Dunguib to be immaculately prepared for the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle, with nothing but positive vibes coming from the camp and a host of strong performances in the past year. The only real concern would be if the ground was particularly hard but this looks like an extremely unlikely occurrence at this point.

10/11 Dunguib
