Coral Cup 2024 Tips – Preview, Odds and Trends (2.50pm Cheltenham Day 2)

Cheltenham Festival 2021

The Coral Cup, run over 2 miles 5 furlongs on the Old Course at Cheltenham, is a typically competitive Festival handicap.

The race has a safety limit of 26 and in the last decade has produced winners at 33/1, 28/1, 25/1 and 16/1 (three times); last year’s winner, Dame De Compagnie was the only successful favourite in that period.

 

Coral Cup Betting Tips 2024

Heading into trials weekend at Cheltenham JP McManus could have a well-handicapped horse on his hands in the shape of Sa Majeste. With two runs over hurdles in France and two for Willie in Ireland he’s qualified for the handicap hurdles and remains dangerously unexposed. His form will be majorly tested this weekend after he beat Noble Yeats off level weights at Limerick over Christmas. I am sure the handicapper will have some reassessing to do but he could be a graded horse in a handicap come March.

Selection: Sa Majeste at 16/1 with bet365’s Cheltenham offer.
