Solwhit the main market mover in Cheltenham ante post betting

With the Cheltenham Festival just seven weeks away there were some significant moves in the betting markets following some of the Festival trials at the weekend. Possibly the biggest story of the weekend was that of Solwhit's fine win in the Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown on Sunday, which has resulted in him being shortened into 3/1 favourite for the English equivalent in March with Irish bookmaker Boylesports.

The 5/6 favourite lined up against other Champion Hurdle hopefulls Celestial Halo and Sublimity in the Grade 1 contest and ran out a four and a half length winner from the Noel Meade trained Donnas Palm. As a result, the six year old has seen support for the big race in March and is currently a best price of 5/1 with Victor Chandler.

The 2009 Champion Hurdle runner-up Celestial Halo disappointed back in fourth and has drifted in the betting out to 16/1 whilst the 2007 winner Sublimity is a also a 16/1 shot with Chandlers.

Last year's winner Punjabi laid his credentials on the line on the soft ground of Haydock on Saturday but was easily beaten by the Alan King trained Medermit. As a result, both horses are now 14/1 for the Champion Hurdle with VC Bet. Also on the Haydock card, Diamond Harry ran out a convincing winner on his debut over fences and is now a 7/1 third favourite for the RSA Chase in March with Ladbrokes.

Elsewhere on Saturday, Twist Magic strengthened his claims for the Queen Mother Champion Chase beating Petit Robin by twelve lengths to land the Victor Chandler Chase in fine style. The Paul Nicholls trained eight year old is now a 6/1 second favourite with Ladbrokes for the Champion Chase behind stablemate Master Minded.
