There are always plenty of betting tips for those wanting to pick a Cheltenham race winner, but you would do well to consider a few of the stats before you place your bet.

Gold Cup winners have, for seven of the last eight Cheltenham racing events races, won or come second at previous festivals. Good Cheltenham form is invaluable.

However, Cheltenham Festival history suggests horses who placed second or third in the previous year are usually not worth backing. Only The Fellow and Bregawn have won a Cheltenham Gold Cup after placing the year before, whereas six of the past nine winners were running in the race for their first time.

Cheltenham race form often dictates that a horse that has been lightly raced will usually win. The last ten winners had raced no more than three times that season.

We have one final tip for picking a winner at the Cheltenham Festival before you rush off and place your bet. Choose a horse with staying power and stamina, as the hill on the finishing straight can be unforgiving. Enjoy your Cheltenham betting experience!
