2013 Cheltenham Festival Each-Way Betting Tips and Selections Part 1

As the 2013 Cheltenham Festival draws nearer by the day, the ante post markets are nearly set to close and punters are looking to get in there big bets at potentially inflated prices. We’ve picked out a few of the best-looking outside fancies for Cheltenham glory and we’ve gone out of our way to look at races that are going to be ignored a bit - as that’s where you’re sometimes a bit more likely to find the serious each-way selections.

Our first each-way spoiler is perhaps about as short as you can justify an each-way wager on, but we are so confident in Kentford Grey Lady’s ability to hit the board and, at the very least, return the place investment that we think a price of around 10/1 is justified. 

Quevega, the leading contender for the David Nicholson Mares Hurdle, has been pounded down to nearly 1/2 and remains one of the shortest prices of the entire Cheltenham Festival. While she has certainly exerted her dominance over this race for the past several years, Kentford Grey Lady pushed her all the way last year and got up well for second place. She hasn’t won every race this year but has actually gone out and run against male horses at times so that demonstrates that she’s able to punch above her weight and you reckon she’ll be improved this year as a seven-year-old. 

Kentford Grey Lady only really has two real challengers in this race and she’ll be well-poised to take advantage of any mistakes made by Quevega or Une Artiste. 

Ruacana maintains a co-entry for both the Albert Bartlett and the Fred Winter and it’s more likely that the four-year-old son of Cape Cross will contest the latter race where he carries a very plausible 14/1 price tag. This contest is usually one of the most wide open of the entire Cheltenham Festival and you do reckon that his Grade 1 Juvenile Hurdle win over a field of eight sets him up nicely for this contest. He then tackled some tougher company in a better Grade 1 at Leopardstown where he finished third to Our Conor and Diakali.
