Odds subject to change.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cheltenham-festival-2024-tips\">Cheltenham Festival 2024 Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Betting.com will provide tips for the feature races each day at Cheltenham, through our <a href=\"https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/blog\/cheltenham-festival-tips\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/blog\/cheltenham-festival-tips\">Cheltenham Festival tips blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Picking out your horses for Cheltenham is virtually the same as betting on a horse to win in any race, and it is best to stick to the same principles. However, with Cheltenham being such a high profile and high quality event it is arguably more satisfying to pick a winner! There are several things which punters need to be especially aware of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-find-the-best-cheltenham-trainers\">1) Find the best Cheltenham trainers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While Cheltenham Festival winners come from up and down the country, there are some trainers who seem to excel at bringing their horses to a peak for this event. So do some research and focus on the yards who have an excellent record at this meeting. Currently Willie Mullins, Nicky Henderson and Paul Nicholls are three of the trainers who always seem to have their top horses in form at the Gloucestershire showpiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-find-the-best-cheltenham-jockeys\">2) Find the best Cheltenham jockeys<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Equally you get jockeys who seem suited to certain courses and Cheltenham is no exception. As well as handling the course, jockeys who consistently perform well at Cheltenham are capable of performing on the big occasion.&nbsp; Rachael Blackmore, Paul Townend, Harry Cobden, Harry Skelton, Nico de Boinville and Bryony Frost are all worth watching out for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the big handicaps races keep an eyeout for conditional jockeys. These are less experienced riders who are developing their skills and, due to their inexperience, they can claim up to 7lbs off a horse\u2019s weight. Some trainers, who have faith in their conditionals, like to use them in closely matched handicap races where they feel that the weight difference will be crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-monitor-form\">3) Monitor form<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is key when betting on any race and it is worth looking at the horse who come into Cheltenham in good form when making your selection. However, like in all races, an out of form horse, or a horse returning from injury or coming off a break can win. With Cheltenham being such a big event, some trainers may prefer to race their horses sparingly in the weeks before the race and may be confident of them coming into the festival in peak condidtion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-keep-an-eye-on-shifts-in-the-markets\">&nbsp;4) Keep an eye on shifts in the markets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cheltenham Festival betting markets are fluid and competitive, with odds frequently fluctuating. The price on a horse can shorten or lengthen at any time. Look out for horses who prove popular among other punters, especially if their odds start to come down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-use-opinions-of-pundits-and-tipsters-in-your-research\">5) Use opinions of pundits and tipsters in your research<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Read up on what the experts think about trainers, jockeys and horses you may want to back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-study-the-odds\">6) Study the odds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Study the best Cheltenham Festival betting sites and compare bookies in order to find the best quality odds in order to maximise any potential winnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-use-offers-and-bonuses-to-your-advantage\">7) Use offers and bonuses to your advantage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are always a lot of offers and promos aimed at the Cheltenham Festival among the best betting sites in the UK. Try to find an offer or bonus that suits you in the build up to the big week.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-check-out-the-best-cheltenham-festival-betting-sites\">8) Check out the best Cheltenham Festival betting sites<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At Betting.com we have comprehensive top lists of the best betting sites in the UK and the best bookmakers for horse racing and the Cheltenham Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the build up to Cheltenham continues we will bring you news of the main contenders and will bring you any other stand out offers.
