2015 Cheltenham Festival Tuesday Betting Tips PT 3
- By A.J. Ryder on March 9, 2015 17:56 GMTThe third contest of the day - the Ultima Business Solutions Handicap Chase - is a Grade 3 contest that looks to be the deepest race of the day with very few genuine standouts here even if you’re working just off the wagering. Not many are entering in a great deal of form but everybody in the mix has had a good race or two in the past.

The betting favourite right now appears to be AP McCoy and Pendra, who has been backed down to a general 6/1 with the likes of Ned Stark and The Druids Nephew all looking relatively competitive in the wagering as well with single digit prices being traded at the moment.
This might be an opportunity for some punters to really take a swing at a big price here and some might opt for the likes of Monbeg Dude if he opts for the race. He is also entered for the Kim Muir and goes in at 14/1 there against an 18/1 price here, but if he runs he just might be a decent shout to get himself home at the right time. His recent record indicates a horse who will be there or thereabouts when we come down to the run-in.
Those looking for a solid each-way selection might opt for What A Warrior, who was pulled up last time out but looks like he could push forward here if he is able to run his race. He got the better of a tricky Grade 3 field at Ascot back in November and he’s been off since getting pulled up at Newbury in late November. There is lots to like about him and you’re getting a decent 33/1 price on him.
The Stan James Champion Hurdle is the feature contest of the day and it’s all about lining up a living legend with the pretender to his throne as Hurricane Fly comes in at a 9/1 price to do battle with the new upstart Faugheen - who many consider to be absolutely unbeatable.
