Cheltenham Day 4 Handicap Tips With Extra Each-Way Places

The Gold Cup takes centre stage on Day Four of the Cheltenham Festival, although there are seven races on the card and two of them are handicaps. 

The beauty of betting on the latter is that you will find the bookies adding extra places for customers looking to have an each-way bet.

Therefore, be sure to bag yourself the biggest number of places when it comes to these races. 

We recommend having a number of online betting accounts so that you’re able to choose the bookmaker which has the best value proposition.

County Hurdle – 2.10pm

Iberico Lord, King Of Kingsfield and Under Control are among the leading contenders for a race which could feature as many as 26 runners. 

They will do battle over two miles and one furlong, with the horses tackling eight hurdles in their quest to become a Cheltenham Festival winner.

This is the penultimate handicap race of the Festival and an ideal opportunity to land a big-price horse that can hopefully run into a place and potentially land a victory.

Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle – 5.30pm

It’s the final chance to bet on the 2024 Cheltenham Festival, with the Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle taking place over two miles, four and a half furlongs. 

Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott both look sure to have several horses lining up, although it could be all about finding the bookmaker that has the most places for this race.

Each-way backers can often make a profit on the handicap races at the meeting without backing a single winner and that’s especially if you choose a horse racing betting site that offers the biggest number of places.
