The dust may only just be settling on the 2012 meeting but already our attention is turning to the 2013 Cheltenham Festival with punters already looking forward to best week of racing in the world. It is once again shaping up to be classic a Cheltenham with some of the big winners from 2012 set to return to Prestbury Park. The ante-post betting is already kicking in with Arkle Chase winner Sprinter Sacre the hot favourite in the Queen Mother Champion Chase Betting for next season. Another horse to keep an eye on in the build up to the 2013 Festival is Synchronised who after winning the Gold Cup in such great style recently will be hoping to retain that crown next year. There are a number of top class novices set to make the step up in class next season including Sir Des Champs, who won the Jewson at the recent Festival and Cinders And Shes who stormed up the hill to win the Supreme Novices Hurdle.
We will be following all the important horses this season as they make their way to the Cheltenham Festival and the form guides are a top class aid for any punter. Each and every one of the 27 Festival Races has a dedicated form guide attached to it which has been running right through the winter to ensure they are as comprehensive as possible. Cheltenham Festival Form is vital when it comes to having a bet with the undulations of Prestbury Park often catching horses and punters out when it comes to the big Festival races. The same can be said of the Cheltenham race cards which will be available through each day of the Festival; they will give punters a quick and easy guide to any race including the very latest price for each runner.
Our very own Tom Lee will once again be on duty for us during the Cheltenham Festival 2013 and he will be making his tips for all the big races on a daily basis. Tom has been in great form over the past couple of years at the Festival including in 2012 when he racked up a number of winners for punters. Anyone who followed Tom at the last Festival will know he picked the likes of Cinders And Ashes and Teaforthree among others, we know for a fact that he is eager to top that at next year's meeting making his Cheltenham Festival Tips essential reading.
There are 27 top class races at the Cheltenham Festival spread out over four days of superb action. The Champion Hurdle, the Queen Mother Champion Chase, the World Hurdle and the Cheltenham Gold Cup are of course the four big Championship races and they will always attract the main betting interest. One of the most popular Cheltenham Festival Races is the Supreme Novices Hurdle which is of course the first race of the meeting and is always the subject of a flurry of betting activity in the build-up. The Festival is also well known for its highly competitive handicap races with Jewson Novices and the Kim Muir among the most popular on the card.
