A bit of Cheltenham racecourse advice

Historically, Gold Cup winners who have appeared on Cheltenham race cards before have a good track record, so think about backing a horse with good form at Cheltenham. Meanwhile, Cheltenham racing form usually dictates that a horse that has not been over worked in the prelude to the big Cheltenham race usually wins.

Horses who came second or third at Cheltenham in the previous year generally do not fare well though, as only The Fellow and Bregawn have won a Cheltenham Gold Cup after placing in the year before. First time runners are worth a punt though, as the majority of winners in recent times were running the race for the first time.

Study Cheltenham racecard form

Although Cheltenham betting will be enthralling this year, make sure you study the Cheltenham racing form so you can feel confident of picking a winner. Select runners with high stamina levels as Cheltenham hill can be a real test for any horse.

Enjoy Cheltenham and good luck with your bets!
