The Cheltenham Festival is now just a week away and punters are now scrambling to get their last minute Cheltenham Festival Tips together. Many will have been punting on the 2009 Cheltenham Festival from as far back as last March whilst others will not have placed even one or two Cheltenham Festival Bets so far.

Most Popular Races

The Cheltenham Festival Odds have changed plenty over the past few months but that doesn’t mean there are not plenty of good Cheltenham Tips out there. The four most popular races to bet on should be the Champion Hurdle, the Champion Chase, the World Hurdle and the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

The Four Championship Races – Tips

Cheltenham Gold Cup

Denman was favourite in the Gold Cup Odds at the start of the season but one lacklustre run this season has seen him drift out to third favouritism. The favourite in the Cheltenham Gold Cup Betting is now the 2007 winner, Kauto Star.

Champion Hurdle

In the Champion Hurdle most punters are tipping Binocular, the red hot favourite, but his Cheltenham Festival Odds are now very short and a better bet could be Celestial Halo each way.

Master Minded

Master Minded is looking pretty unbeatable in the Champion Chase but he is the shortest price favourite at the Festival and is surely best backed in a double or treble with one of the other Festival ‘bankers’.

World Hurdle

The World Hurdle also has a short priced favourite in the form of Kasbah Bliss but many are unconvinced because the horse has not won in four runs at Cheltenham. Punchestowns, Big Bucks and Fair Along are the horses that people are opposing Kasbah Bliss with.

Let us know your thoughts about the best tips for Cheltenham, whatever they may be. Is Master Minded the dead cert everyone reckons? Will Binocular and Kasbah Bliss prove themselves up the Cheltenham hill with their first wins at the course?
