2012 Cheltenham Festival Markets Begin To Take Shape
The 2012 Cheltenham Festival continues to creep closer and with every weekend that passes, the ante post markets and odds change for the world famous meeting.
As the National Hunt season continues to capture the imagination of racing fanatics, every big race seems to throw up a new Cheltenham Festival clue and the markets for the meeting are really beginning to take shape.
The King George VI Chase on Boxing Day is sure to have a huge impact on the betting for the 2012 Cheltenham Gold Cup and with Long Run looking to defend his crown in both races, followers of Nicky Henderson's French import will be hoping for a huge display at Kempton. He will be looking to reverse the form with Kauto Star who managed to beat him in the Betfair Chase at Haydock.
With the likes of Captain Chris, Diamond Harry and Grand Crus also being considered for a tilt at the 2012 Cheltenham Gold Cup, Long Run will be looking to prove that he is very much at the top of the pile heading into March.
Meanwhile, the Champion Hurdle at the 2012 Cheltenham Festival is beginning to look a more open contest and fears over the wellbeing of Hurricane Fly will be ringing loudly in the ears of his supporters. He has not been seen yet this season and there is already a wave of support gathering momentum behind Nicky Henderson's challenger Grandouet after his sensational victory in the International Hurdle at HQ.
Willie Mullins will be looking to get Hurricane Fly back on track and if he returns to Prestbury Park in the same form he did in 2011, he is sure to take some stopping.
Equally, Big Buck's continues to dominate the staying hurdle division and he looks to be at his imperious best so far this season, as does Queen Mother Champion Chase hero Sizing Europe who jumped his rivals into submission in the Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown.
Big Buck's and Sizing Europe will be out to keep their Cheltenham Festival crowns in 2012, but as with so many of the races, there is sure to be plenty of market movers between now and next year's meeting.
