A chance is taken on this big priced outsider who could have the potential to outrun her price here.

Arguably does her best work over a shorter trip but she has won over 6 and has also gone close over that trip too.

Ran in a couple of hot races recently so a line can be put through them as she returns to Class 3 company today.

Woolhampton has form figures of 13216616 when running at Ascot so there's a chance she could run into a place at the very least.

Selecting Our Cheltenham Betting Tips

During the run-up to the Cheltenham Festival, our expert tipsters are constantly monitoring all activity that’s associated with the festival, such as the latest stats and trends. Whether it’s horse form, trainer strike rate or recent betting patterns, we stay in the loop. This means, by the time the festival comes around, we have all the info we need to select the best possible Cheltenham tips and pass them on to you.

Our dedicated team of seasoned tipsters analyse every possible data point when collecting Cheltenham Festival tips. This means they can more accurately predict which horses will win or place in any given race at the festival, no matter what the bookmaker price.

Plus, once our tipsters have picked their Cheltenham racing tips, they always write up their reasoning before they post them right here. We’re always transparent about why we think a certain horse is well-placed for success, and you can use this information to decide whether or not you want to back one of our Cheltenham Festival horse racing tips or choose your own.
