Kim Muir Handicap Chase Betting Odds (March Update)

The Kim Muir is a race that really gets going towards race day itself, there is little betting on the contest prior to the day of the race, and antepost markets right now are very small, with many question marks as to who will actually be running.

Given this is an amateur race, it’s also key to wait until jockey bookings are made, which can often be tips to follow, depending on which top amateurs are riding the fancied runners.

What Happened in 2022?

A big shock in the Kim Muir with Chambard taking the contest, returning with an SP of 40/1. He won the race by two and a half lengths from Mister Coffey in second place, a race that was run at a very slow gallop for a Cheltenham handicap, and that made it very tough for runners to get involved from behind.
