The revised Cheltenham Gold Cup odds for 2013 have Sir Des Champs favourite despite Synchronised’s victory in 2012
The bookies have wasted no time in revising their odds for the 2013 Gold Cup and Sir Des Champs heads the market with most firms after an impressive win in the Jewson Novices’ Chase on Thursday.
Ladbrokes were suitably impressed by the horse’s performance and quote the Willie Mullins charge at odds of 5/1, although you can get 8/1 with Paddy Power about Sir Des Champs.
Meanwhile, Synchronised is sure to be back to retain his crown and the 2012 Gold Cup winner can be backed at 8/1 with
Boylesports although the Irish bookmaker might end up offering CheltenhamFestival.net readers an enhanced price about the champion as we get nearer to the next Festival!
Bob’s Worth was another winner at the 2012 Cheltenham Festival, with the RSA Chase winner available at 8/1 with
bet365, although perhaps we shouldn’t overlook Long Run, who simply didn’t get it right on the day but still managed to finish third.
Long Run is a 12/1 chance with
Bet Victor and those odds might end up looking very big considering that Nicky Henderson is likely to give the eight-year-old a nice rest with the rigours of the current season taking its toll.
You can get 20/1 that Grands Crus comes again and wins the next Gold Cup, while Hunt Ball can be backed at 50/1.
