The feature of Tuesday’s action at Cheltenham is the Champion Hurdle and punters will be hoping to get the meeting off to a great start.
The day’s racing kicks off with the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle and there is sure to be plenty of punters looking to Cue Card to line their pockets in the first race of the meeting.
Paddy Power are refunding all bets if Cue Card wins the race, meaning that you could be in a no-lose position if you think the favourite could be too hard to beat.
Binocular is the current favourite for the Champion Hurdle and punters will be hoping that the reigning champ can put up another scintillating display at his fourth consecutive Festival.
The opposition to Nicky Henderson’s star is formidable and with the likes of Hurricane Fly, Peddlers Cross and Menorah all arriving at Prestbury Park in the form of their lives, Binocular will have to be better than ever if he is going to defend his crown.
If you think that Binocular holds all the aces in Tuesday’s two-mile showpiece but you can’t get away from another horse, place you bet with
Boylesports and the firm will refund your stake if your selection finishes second.
