Cheltenham Coral Cup
Coral Cup betting verdict
The Coral Cup is traditionally one of the toughest puzzles to solve at the Cheltenham Festival and that will be reflected in the odds. With a couple of classy horses likely to keep the weights down for many runners there won’t be many that can be ruled out for carrying too much weight, the unbeaten Aegean Dawn will benefit from this and looks as as solid as a horse can for a huge handicap having had just three runs over hurdles. His two wins this season include an easy course and distance win and also an comfortable victory over Mille Chief, who has won his two subsequent starts franking that form well.

Call The Police looks a horse very much on the up and would be a popular win for the Irish, whether he will prove as comfortable over here as he has done on soft ground in Ireland remains to be seen and the biggest threat to Aegean Dawn could come from For Non Stop, whose second to Grand Crus here in November looks an outstanding piece of form and his defeat in Grade One company last time it is nothing to be ashamed of moving back into handicap company.
Coral Cup odds
Favourite backer?
Favourites once more have underperformed in this one, only two have won since the race was introduced in 1993. The last of those was Xenophon in 2003 and we must take the 2011 favourite with a pinch of salt if recent results are anything to behold. Big price horses have gone in at this race (some as big as 33/1) and the lottery of the race could well continue in March should we see an unfancied outsider steal the headlines. Trends for the handicap are few and far between but horses at the to pend of the weights and with relatively low handicap marks have filled the placings in recent events, but it remains to be seen whether this will be the way forward again.
Chancing on an outsider with solid form and potential is probably your best bet in the Coral Cup. As far as favourites go, well to be perfectly honest they don’t go. Well, they don’t go well anyway, so it might be best to overlook them and fork out some value in the field. You’ll have your hands full however because you won’t be short of choice because twenty-eight runners contested the 2010 running.
