Which Cheltenham banker is best value?
Jackpot Bet Online – the best news site talks about the financial issues of the Cheltenham festival. EVERYBODY loves a Cheltenham Festival banker, often combining them in life-changing accas, but which of this year’s lumpjobs makes most appeal? Sprinter Sacre (1-4) and Master Minded (4-11) have obliged in Champion Chases recently, but punters ploughing into Annie Power at 1-2 in the Mares’ Hurdle last year were left wondering what might have been following her final-flight fall.
This month’s festival – jump racing’s most magical week of the year – will not feature an Arkle, Jackpot Bet Online who was sent off at 1-10 before winning the 1966 Cheltenham Gold Cup by a whopping 30 lengths. Faugheen, although never an Arkle-like price in the Stan James Champion Hurdle, also misses out through injury, but there are still a few shorties – three of them trained by Willie Mullins – for punters to get stuck into.
