The betting for the 2012 World Hurdle is really starting to hot up but of course there is a clear favourite at this stage, Big Buck's has won the race for the last three years and is a heavy favourite to make it four in 2012. He went off as an odds-on favourite in 2011 and he is likely to do so once again in 2012 for Paul Nicholls as he goes yet another famous win.
The closest challenger to Big Bucks in the betting is Oscar Whisky who could well step up in trip for the first time at the Festival. The Nicky Henderson horse is a high class animal and there are those that think he could run the hot favourite close if they meet in the World Hurdle.
