Cheltenham betting tips

Considered as the home of National Hunt races, Cheltenham is involved through the festival – the ultimate racing day at this iconic location – on March 17. Most of the horse betting interest will be at the Cheltenham Gold Cup. The Timico Cheltenham Gold Cup Chase comes with a pursue of £327,462 for the 14 runners. Cue Card has been having an excellent campaign and he remains in the punters favourite for success in the event. Outlander, Djakadam, and Native River are all given odds of 14/1 for a victory in the event, according to the latest horse racing odds.

Even though there are several other graded events, this Gold Cup happens to take the biggest precedence. It will run over a distance of three miles and two furlongs. Despite being substantially lower in terms of the money, JCB Triumph Hurdle is also a capable event hosting some of the best runners.

Going is good to soft.

13:30 - DEFI DU SEUIL won at Cheltenham on January 28 and at Chepstow on December 27. He's got five consecutive victories and the 4-year-old bay gelding is priced at 13/2 to win the race. Charli Parcs represents the main danger here (13/2) while Landofhopeandglory (10/1) is another notable runner.

14:10 - DIEGO DU CHARMIL won at Musselburgh on February 4 and has two other victories in 2016. The 5-year-old bay gelding goes against Peace And Go and is definitely the best runner around.

14:50 - BACARDYS won at Leopardstown on February 12 and at the same racecourse on December 27. The 6-year-old bay gelding is not a sure bet, though. Constantine Bay and Death Duty, as well as Impulsive Star, are runners who are in an incredibly good form. Death Duty leads the odds (16/1), followed by Constantine Bay (20/1) and Bacardys (20/1).

16:10 - ON THE FRINGE was second at Leopardstown on February 12 and before that, it went through a 289-day break. He's got two series of three consecutive victories and the 12-year-old bay gelding seems to be in a great form.

17:30 - GARDE LA VICTOIRE won at Sandown on January 7 and was third at Ascot on November 19. The 8-year-old bay gelding was second at Exeter on November 1. It's definitely the best choice here.

Fakenham betting tips

Fakenham has always been regarded as a top destination when it comes to the National Hunt races, as it has been hosting these even since 1905. Even though horse racing tips on March 17 will predominantly focus of the Cheltenham Festival, Fakenham also assumes importance with races like the Totepool Fakenham Silver Cup Handicap Hurdle at 16:00. Regulation is the favourite to win this event.

Going is good to soft-good in places.

14:40 - QUEEN SPUD was third at Cheltenham on December 9 and won two times at Fakenham in mid-November and October last year. The 8-year-old bay mare will be challenged by Shanroe Santos.

16:00 - POLITICAL QUIZ won at Carlisle on February 20, disappointed at Doncaster in late January and won at Leicester on January 12. Amour De Nuit is probably his main contender.

Lingfield betting tips

Lingfield gained prominence in the bet online odds as an all-purpose course, and this has especially been true since 1989 when the first all-weather track in the UK was established at Lingfield. The Bet On The Festival With Betway Handicap at 15:05 is likely to be the most popular event. It has prize money of £7,246 with Petite Jack rated as a favourite for success in the best odds.

Going is standard (AW-Polytrack) and low numbers are best in races up to a mile.

15:05 - PETITE JACK was second at Newcastle on February 17 and before that, it has three consecutive victories over the span of three months. The 4-year-old chestnut gelding goes against Retrieve, his main contender.

16:25 - MIA CARA's victory at Lingfield on February 16 shows that she's a stunning runner. She was third at Southwell on January 26 and won at Wolverhampton on January 14. Daring Guest is the main danger around.

Wolverhampton betting tips

Dunstall Park is involved in horse racing throughout the year. Even though Cheltenham Festival takes the most importance on March 17, Wolverhampton’s best race, according to horse racing betting tips might just be the Betway Stayers Handicap. Luv U Whatever is the favourite for this event.

Going is standard (AW-Tapeta). There is no advantage in the draw.

17:45 - NOBLE ACT was fourth at Chelmsford City and he moved from RAE GUEST to P S MCENTEE during a short break this winter. Very tough choice.

19:45 - MIDTECH STAR won at Wolverhampton on March 11 and was third at Chelmsford on February 16. The 5-year-old bay gelding also won at Chelmsford in early February. His form has been improving a lot lately.
