Bet on 2022 Betfair Hurdle
Indeed, the winner of this Betfair Hurdle usually has strong claims in whatever hurdle race he pitches up in at the Cheltenham Festival and the betting market for the Betfair Hurdle has a wide-open look about it, with those Skelton runners potentially set to be in the shake up at the end of the race.
Third Time Lucki Favourite to Win Betfair Hurdle
Third Time Lucki is the betting favourite to win the Betfair Hurdle and you can compare horse racing betting odds to get the biggest possible price. The six-year-old currently has an overall rating of 144, with the horse having scored three victories and finished runner-up in his other race.
While it was a routine win in a Novice Hurdle at Uttoxeter and another facile win when it came to running in a race at Wetherby, jockey Harry Skelton gave the runner a fantastic ride to finish second in the Sky Bet Supreme Trial Novices' Hurdle before a Novices’ Hurdle triumph at Kempton Racecourse on Boxing Day.
However, the horse is still unproven in strong company and perhaps it will be another Dan Skelton-trained charge who comes to the fore, with Cadzand hailing from the same stable and it appears that a wind operation has hugely benefitted the horse as far as this season is concerned.
Cadzand was sent off as the 5/2 favourite in a handicap hurdle at Kempton over the festive season and he duly obliged with a victory, meaning that jockey Harry Skelton has a job on his hands deciding which horse to jump on for this race.
Who are the Other Betfair Hurdle Betting Favourites?
Harry Fry could have a potential superstar in the form of Metier, with the five-year-old boasting a flawless record this season and he looks set to make a bold bid for honours after a hat-trick of wins at Newton Abbot, Sandown and Ascot.
The win in the recent Unibet Tolworth Novices' Hurdle was particularly impressive, with the runner sent off as the 7/4 favourite where he won by the facile distance of twelve lengths and perhaps this horse represents the most attractive betting value of all.
