2008 Cheltenham Festival Top Trainer Tips

Paul Nicholls will be many peoples idea of the winner in this market and that is reflected with skinny odds of 1/3.
The Ditcheat based handler has had strong hands before at the Festival and has only been the top trainer at the meeting once in the last four years so those odds really do not appeal.

Far more attractive is the 13/2 on offer about Alan King. King has a host of chances over the four days including Katchit, Group Captain, Voy Por Ustedes, Blazing Bailey and Franchoek as well as a host of interesting runners in the handicaps. The price looks outstanding value and ensures an additional interest over the whole of the Festival.
