The Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle Betting Guide & Tips

The Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle is a grade 3 handicap hurdle raced on the Old Course at Cheltenham Racecourse. Raced over a distance of 2 miles and 5 furlongs, the Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle is one of the faster races at the Cheltenham Festival.

The Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle is open to 5 year old and older hurdlers. With horses carrying weights, the race is notoriously difficult to call, and favourites in the Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle betting markets rarely go on to win the race.

Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle History and Winners

The Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle was the last race added to the Cheltenham Festival race program before the event was expanded to four days in 2005.

The Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle has proven to be a happy hunting ground for trainer Martin Pipe, whose runners have claimed a clutch number of victories in the race.

Despite the quality of the race, Coral Cup Handicap winners rarely move on to greater things, and a race winner has yet to capture a feature race title at the 2009 Cheltenham Festival.

Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle Betting Tips

✔ The Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle betting markets are an unreliable guide to race form, with only one favourite winning the race during the last decade.

✔ While 6 year olds run strongly in the race, the effect of age is otherwise minimal with recent winners ranging from 5 to 10 years of age.
