The Cheltenham Festival is only a couple of weeks away now, and already gamblers are placing their bets on who they believe will win the big one. Of course betting is always risky but freebets.co.uk chose the best free bet offers for new punter.

With these Cheltenham free bets you can’t go wrong and at least you will have the upper hand when placing bets. The Gold Cup is the biggest race in National Hunt racing, with many jockeys often calling the win in this race as the biggest of their career.

This year’s race promises to be one of the most open in recent years, as much of the field can say that they have a realistic chance of crossing the line first. Willie Mullins will be in high confidence that he can quickly follow his first Gold Cup success with a second one in this year’s race, while Native River will be missing out for the Colin Tizzard team. So, who will win the 2020 Cheltenham Gold Cup?

Lots Of Money Going Towards Favourites

There is already a lot of money going on the favourites in the market. Santini’s price has been drastically cut over the past number of weeks. His price was slashed following a gritty performance at Cheltenham last time out.

However, there are still too many question marks surrounding whether Santini can be a Gold Cup winner. He often leaves himself far too much to do in the final stages, and that will be his downfall against stiffer competition.

Al Boum Photo is the defending champion and goes into the Gold Cup off the back of a win at Tranmere. Following his win at the festival last year he was well-beaten by Kemboy at Punchestown, and that will be Mullins’ other chance of a winner in this race.

Kemboy started the 2019 Gold Cup as the biggest market mover before he fell on the first fence. His form this season hasn’t given much for punters to latch onto. The winner of the Gold Cup could come from further down the field.

Good Gold Cup Bets

Clan Des Obeaux will certainly be a horse that a lot of punters will be keeping a close eye on, and could present some good value on the day. Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson owns this eight-year-old, and he will go into the race in brilliant form.

He was emphatic in his last run at Kempton as he beat Cyrname by 21-lengths. He finished fifth in last year’s instalment, but he will do better this year.

Lostintranslation will also be a very popular pick. He will be where the smart money is on Gold Cup day, as he comes into the race with a festival win already under his belt. After his defeat in the JLT Novices’ Chase at last year’s festival, he has won three of his four starts.

The most recent run saw Lostintranslation pull up, but like the injury sustained by Derrick Luckassen recently, that shouldn’t be a worry for bettors. He is a proven stayer, and judging by what the weather conditions are typically like on Gold Cup day, he will have the best possible chance of getting the win.
