CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL 2025

liveCheltenham Festival countdown: Lossiemouth shortens for Mares', an exciting Gold Cup addition and The New Lion now favourite with Final Demand pushed out

Great picture of the Mullins entourage.
The Ferry absorbs a lot of time,can be rocky and the bar prices horrendous.
I am holding off with selections because horses are engaged all over the place and also being supplemented!

Only one day to go and no local racing 

Great stuff 👏 

Day one 

Have not really changed my thoughts and this will be the best day for punters vs bookies 

It's my Intention to take the Mullins treble 

Kopek Des Bordes 
Majborough 
Lossiemouth 

I was considering adding Constitution Hill but we might get a bookies result?

Plus will play a Jackpot 

Good Punting 👍 

Sam Boswell, BetVictor
The standout bet we'll need beat on day one is going to be the 7-1 acca of Kopek Des Bordes (evens), Majborough (4-7), Lossiemouth (8-13) and Constitution Hill (8-13). Nicky Henderson's star hurdler is the last leg and already will cause us pain as a standout loser in our ante-post book. Should he return to his brilliant best and land the favourites' fourfold, he'll cause bookmakers to face an industry-wide payout running into the multi-millions. The discussion about who wins this week between punters and bookies could be over before the end of day one.

Day One
Kopek de Bordes looks the business and can't be faulted.He has only raced in Ireland .
Salvator Mundi must have chance and is a fair price.

Majborough difficult to oppose.Banker!

Lossiemouth relinquishing the allowance in the Champion Hurdle says something about Elliotts horse's chances.
She will have to be very good if Con.Hill is on song,

Lossiemouth can win the Mares Hurdle.

Definitely going to stay away from the 4 races on day one that have the hot jolly’s in them Maybe  see how today goes and if well then take an arc on the 4 of them I think as the week goes on there will be lots of value bets to at least come out on top by the end of the meeting Target is to make £600. Let’s see going to be difficult with lots of luck as I don’t back big at all Some guys will win that and much much more after the first two races tomorrow Hope that it’s a dry meeting and all the riders and horses make it home safely 

4 jollys work out to 6/1 adding Inter Milan, Wimbledon and Birmingham City taking it to 22/1 

 

Wonderful start 👏 👌
