The Cheltenham Racecourse Tips<\/h2>\n \n\n
\n Cheltenham racing tips are incomplete without considering the two courses at the home of National Hunt racing. The landscape of the courses can affect the number of takeovers, the likelihood of horses not finishing the races, and more. Let\u2019s take a look at our analysis of both the Old and the New Course.<\/p>\n\n
\n Cheltenham \u2014 The Old Course\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n The Old Course is built for speed and used for the opening two days, with races for the final two days on the New Course suited to sturdy horses who possess bucketloads of stamina.<\/p>\n\n
\n The Old Course hosts the two-mile Arkle and Champion Chase, as well as the Champion Hurdle. It is a left-handed undulating oval that suits galloping.<\/p>\n\n
\n There are ten stiff fences or eight flights of hurdles on the chase course. The fourth last often divides the field, shortly after a turn at the top of the hill. Despite the last half mile being all uphill, there have not been many dramatic lead changes in the past.<\/p>\n\n
\n Bettors should consider horses with strong jumping skills and a fair amount of stamina for the first half of the Cheltenham Festival. You should also check out the trends from when the Old Course was used last year for The Showcase in October and The November Meeting before placing a bet.<\/p>\n\n
\n Cheltenham \u2014 The New Course\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n The New Course has a tricky downhill fence that can catch many. As most of the hurdles are jumped early on, there are only two hurdles to be navigated in the last seven furlongs, that makes it a long run-in.<\/p>\n\n
\n The last half-mile climb is mostly uphill, and after the last jump, the lead can change as hold-back horses are ready to take over the reins.<\/p>\n\n
\n With the New Course used for Christmas and New Year meetings as well as the Festival Trials Day, punters should consult the results and evaluate the trends.<\/p>\n\n
\n Dry weather has been forecast for the entire Cheltenham Festival, meaning that the going is soft on both the Old and New Course. This makes it harder for the majority of horses to run, as the ground is deep and moist.<\/p>\n\n
\n Some horses prefer this going at Cheltenham and will benefit from the ground being soft. If the going remains soft, then it is worth considering Ballyburn (10\/1) in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle, Ndaawi (10\/1) in the Boodles Juvenile Handicap Hurdle, and Meetingofthewaters (20\/1) in the National Hunt Chase on the opening day.<\/p>\n\n
ThePuntersPage Final Say<\/h2>\n \n\n
\n With the fascination and fun that goes hand-in-hand when jockeying for glory at Cheltenham, the crowds are big and keen to bet. The big bucks will be saved for the Gold Cup in its centenary year. Shock winners are part and parcel of the prestigious Cheltenham Festival, and with some wide-open fields, it may be worth a punt on any of the other 27 racecards.<\/p>\n\n
