Ballabriggs remains as Kim Muir favourite despite top weight

The weights for the big handicap races at the Cheltenham Festival have been released and are sure to effect the betting as a result. Favourite for the Kim Muir is the Donald McCain Jr trained Ballabriggs who is unbeaten over fences in two starts this year but he'll have to carry top weight if he wants to turn that into a three timer. Victor Chandler go 9/1 about the favourite, whilst second favourite Shillingstone carries six pounds less and is a 10/1 chance with the Gibraltar based firm.

There had been a market move for the Richard Lee trained Heathcliff in the Kim Muir Chase at the festival after his win at Ludlow last month. However, the 11st 4lbs attributed to the eight-year-old means he'll now need six horses to come out of the race to get the run. Despite this news, Heathcliff remains a solid 16/1 for the race with bookmaker Victor Chandler.

Gallant Nuit remains a solid 16/1 shot near the head of the betting. Ferdy Murphy's six-year-old has not been seen on a track since winning at Cheltenham in the Paddy Power meeting last November and has been raised seven pounds as a result.

Kim Muir Challenge Cup Odds 

Former Jewson Novices' Handicap Chase winner Fingeronthepulse has recieved support having been handed a weight six pounds lighter than his mark in Ireland and is a good each-way price of 28/1 for the race with VC Bet.
