HORSE RACING
************
CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL BETTING PREVIEW
GIVE HEURES THE TIME AT 8/1
The action gets under way on Tuesday when the Irish ‘banker’, Sweet Wake, attempts to justify short-priced favouritism (currently 5/2 at bet365) in the Supreme Novice Hurdle. Of course he can win, but his price is surely based on all the hype surrounding him, and he looks a favourite to take on. While market leaders have a good record in this race in recent years, the Irish often used to take this race with their second string, and that makes the four-year-old Quatre Heures of interest at the bet365 price of 8/1, especially as he gets a handy 8lb allowance. He’s also entered in the Triumph Hurdle (for which he gets a bet365 quote of 12/1), but bet365 customers can back him for the former now safe in the knowledge that they’ll get a run for their money, or their stake returned to their balance!
