Cheltenham Tips - Each Way Festival Acca at 2400/1
Something that has become a little bit of a tradition for me at the Cheltenham Festival is my big each way acca, one horse per day, every day, to give me four selections in the bet.
It's time to reveal my Cheltenham tips for this bet, exclusively on Free Bets as we are just a day before the start of it all.
Four picks, one for each day to cheer on, and the odds on the bet this year is just over 2400/1, so it's a big price.
Cheltenham Tips: Four Day EW Acca 2400/1
You can bet on all races at the festival with any betting sites that cover horse racing, but I've chosen William Hill for this particular wager, as they offer the best odds when I've worked them out.
Coming in at 2408/1 in total, the four individual picks are priced up at 8/1, 7/2, 6/1 and 15/2.
Want to know something else that makes this bet unique from most of the others you'll see in the build up? Not by design, simply by what I fancy, all four runners are trained in the UK, with no Irish horses amongst the bet. Not too often you'll say that about a Cheltenham multiple!
Finally, don't forget that if you're looking for any Cheltenham Festival free bets this week, our dedicated page will be constantly updated with the best offers on the market.
Tuesday: Ammes - Fred Winter
Kicking us off on Tuesday, I like Ammes in the Fred Winter, for James Owen and Sean Bowen. Three runs so far, winning twice before second in a Listed race at Wetherby.
That form has been franked by the winner Minella Study, who goes to Friday's Triumph Hurdle with a chance, and Owen has, in my opinion, purposefully kept his horse off since to protect this handicap mark.
A spin on the flat at the end of last month kept him ticking over, and he should come here with a big chance.
Wednesday: No Drama This End - Turners Novices' Hurdle
No Drama This End is the best chance Paul Nicholls has this week, and I think (as you'll see below) it'll be a good week for him.
This horse has done nothing wrong, still unbeaten, and better still, he's improved with every single run which is a great sign.
This is a two and a half mile contest, but there's not many specialists in it, I think many need a little shorter, whereas we've no questions about No Drama This End staying the trip. He looks a huge prospect.
Thursday: Regent's Stroll - Jack Richards
Next up, another Paul Nicholls runner. He's been here and done this before, 12 months ago, when he landed the Jack RIchards with Cadwell Potter, and I think Regent's Stroll offers exactly the same profile, and has been handed a very nice weight.
Perhaps not quite top grade, but I do think he's a lot better than his mark of 145 suggests.
Six lengths off a Brown Advisory hope on chasing debut, a good win after that, and some course form to boot, I think Regent's Stroll has exactly the right profile for this race.
Friday: Haiti Couleurs - Gold Cup
You may think it's the obvious choice to end with the Gold Cup, I'm not doing this for the race, but because I fancy this horse so much.
A wide open Gold Cup, with a few that have staying question marks for me, one that doesn't is Haiti Couleurs, he'll relish this test and should be coming up the hill strongly when those around him are fading.
Rain is forecast, and the more the better to turn this into a slog, I think he's got a massive each way chance in the big one.
