2008 Cheltenham Festival

The 2008 Cheltenham Festival is with us and there are some Cheltenham Festival bets that are worth taking a look at from Paddy Power. The one that comes up each year and one that is very popular is naming the number of winners the Irish are going to have at this years festival. With the festival now a four day affair and 25 races one more than previous years the favourite is 9/2 up to and including three, but we like 6 at 4/1.

On Ireland's chances at Cheltenham Paddy Power commented: "Last year wasn't a vintage Cheltenham for Irish winners but with Irish favourites in more than half of the races next week there could be plenty of Paddy-whackery this time round. And if they all come home we could all be looking for new jobs come St Patrick's Day!"

The Cheltenham Gold Cup has got everyone talking and Paddy Power have put up the Paul Nicholls pair to finish 1st and 2nd in any order at 4/5 on. In the same race the price for Paul Nicholls to have the first three home is a 6/1 chance. How about the first three home in the Champion Hurdle to be Irish trained at 6/1.

Paddy Power's famous Guinness betting is back for Cheltenham but can punters match last year's record-breaking thirst? With no St Patrick's Day during the four days and a Budget to keep away the thirsty bankers on Wednesday it's a big ask, but over 225,00 is a 5/2 chance but we want to know who is doing the counting!.
