Prestbury Cup Tips

The Prestbury Cup is the annual yearly competition between the English and Irish to see who has the most success at Cheltenham.

Ireland are a short-priced favourite to win the Prestbury Cup 2024, so strong is their team, it almost has to be considered the banker bet of the Cheltenham Festival for many punters.

Ireland are predicted to win by a landslide and retain the Prestbury Cup trophy. They  have favourites across all the big championship races, whilst they are alwats shrewd in the handicaps.

All of the 28 races at Cheltenham are considered as important as the next in the Presbury Cup, so winning the Champion Hurdle or Queen Mother Chase still only gets one point, the same as the less-prestigious handicap races.

At British Racecourses, we believe the Irish challengers have strong chances in all of the races; Ireland to win the Prestbury Cup is a betting certainty.

What Factors Influence Tips at Cheltenham 2024 Festival?

Here are some factors that directly can influence the tipster’s opinion on the outcome of races at the Cheltenham Festival:

Ground Conditions at Cheltenham

Some horses absolutely love the mud and perform much better in heavier ground conditions. Whilst others prefer the better and nicer ground.

In light of that, the ground conditions (or “going” as it is officially known) can hugely sway the betting experts’ opinion on which racehorse is valuable in the betting markets.

Checking the form guide of the selections performances on the ground they are likely to encounter is key in predicting the winner of the race.

For a more in-depth article read our horse racing goings guide.

Distance of the Race

Some horses are specialists over a certain distance and checking the form of the selection’s previous results over the distance can helps you know whether the pick can stay the distance or is attempting it for the first time. Or whether the trip is likely to be too short.

Horses with previous wins at the distance, therefore, give reassurance to professional sports betting tipsters that the pick will be fine over the specific distance of the race.

Official Rating of the Horse

In handicaps, the weight of the top-weighted horses can make it very difficult to win around Cheltenham’s Prestbury Park because in these competitive handicaps there are usually several horses in plenty in hand according to the official ratings. This means they are carrying lighter weights.

The betting experts will try to find the blot in the handicap where a selection could be improving or has pounds in hand in his current handicap mark. Find out more about handicap races in our guide.

Course Form

The handling of the racecourse is very important for racehorses.

The famous quote “horses for courses” applies here, with some racehorses not liking the uphill finish at Cheltenham.

Tipping a horse with previous course form is important because some selections who have never run at Prestbury Park could not like the undulations and uphill finish.

There are two tracks at Cheltenham Racecourse, the Old Course and the New Course. Both courses are testing left-handed circuits with an uphill finish to test stamina.

At the Cheltenham Festival, both the Old Course is used and the New Course for selected races.

Horse Form

The form of the horse is obviously very important. What have they achieved so far on the racecourse? Is there room for improving or have they hit their peak?

Most horses who do well at Cheltenham have strong season form heading into the race, putting up strong performances in their previous runs.

The Jockey

The horse racing jockeys who ride the horse are a huge factor. Some jockeys are naturally better than others.

It can show you the yards’ number one chances (if the lead jockey chooses to saddle the horse), and there are multiple entries.

The jockey can also make a huge difference in the positioning of the races, strength in the finish (if needing to get down low and push the horse out) as well as being able to judge pace, get a horse to jump and the winning post.

Trainer Form

The horse racing trainers recent form is important to how well the fancied horses will run at the Cheltenham Festival.

Punters selecting the Cheltenham Top Trainer betting event look closely at the current form of the yard.

A horse racing yard in form is certainly a positive signal that sport betting tipsters study in the analysis of their picks.

Look for Value in the Betting Odds with Your Cheltenham Tips

The hype of a horse can snowball into being long odds on favourite and having no value in the betting ring.

When wagering money on selections, they need to offer some value for money in the starting price odds.

Successful gambling on the horses is achieved by finding value in the betting odds on picks, meaning that they outrun their SP value.

Beat the Market with Ante-Post Odds

Early morning on race day the betting markets are not mature or settled.

If you can beat the bookie by getting your ante-post tip bets on you can find real value when taking the current odds on the horse.

The “early bird catches the worm” in the betting parade and trying to source the biggest odds for your hot pick is important.
