Cheltenham Festival gets underway in two weeks and we preview the first day of action at the event
The 2024 Cheltenham Festival kicks off in two weeks time and the first day of action is going to be a big one with some tasty races kicking off the festival.
Day One at the Festival is Champion Day with the Unibet Champion Hurdle the feature race of the day getting underway at 15:30.
Constitution Hill is now joint favourite for the Champion Hurdle with bookmakers putting him at 1/2 to win the race in the antepost market.
OLBG-sponsored trainer Harry Derham currently has two entries in for the 16:50 Juvenile Handicap Hurdle Race with Givemefive and Mojo Ego currently pencilled in for entries.
2024 Champion Hurdle Antepost | Odds | Probability |
---|---|---|
Constitution Hill | 1/2 | 66.7% |
State Man | 1/2 | 66.7% |
Lossiemouth | 3/1 | 25.0% |
Irish Point | 5/1 | 16.7% |

What the expert says...
Anticipation is hyping up around Day 1 of the Cheltenham Festival with the Champion Hurdle the feature race of the day. Constitution Hill is the joint favourite in the antepost betting for this race with the current odds suggesting a 1/2 chance that he wins!
We take a look at Willie Mullins specials offered for the Festival this year
Willie Mullins is once again expected to have a massive year at the Cheltenham Festival with the Irish trainer usually a dominant force at the event.
Last year's total of 6 winners across the week for Mullins was actually low for his high standards with the winning-most trainer in Cheltenham history wanting to do better this year.
Mullins record for the Festival is 10 set back in 2022 and his performance at the Dublin Racing Festival, with eight grade 1 winners, sees the hype start to ramp up for a successful Cheltenham this year.
Willie Mullins Cheltenham Festival 2024 Specials | Odds | Probability |
---|---|---|
Willie Mullins To Train 8 Or More Winners At The Cheltenham Festival | 1/3 | 75.0% |
Willie Mullins To Train More Winners Than All Other Irish Trainers Combined At The Cheltenham Festival | 8/11 | 57.9% |
Willie Mullins To Train 9 Or More Winners At The Cheltenham Festival | 8/11 | 57.9% |
Willie Mullins To Train More Winners Than All British Trainers Combined At The Cheltenham Festival | 4/5 | 55.6% |
Willie Mullins To Train 10 Or More Winners At The Cheltenham Festival | 6/4 | 40.0% |
Willie Mullins To Train The Winner Of 9 Or More Grade 1 Races At The Cheltenham Festival | 7/1 | 12.5% |
