The Coral Cup is without a doubt one of the toughest betting heats for those who bet on Cheltenham.
With a huge field and little to choose between runners at the weights, this isn’t for the faint hearted.
However, even the favourite for this race can be backed at a big price and each way terms are always good.
That makes it a great race to place Cheltenham free bets on as you look for the winner. Regardless of what you back in this one, you should get a big price from your bookmaker.
The Coral Cup of 2021 is going to be as competitive as ever, and every runner in this field, including whoever is the favourite, will be a big price.
There is a horse sticking out to us, one that really impressed last time out and that is the Willie Mullins trained Maze Runner.
This horse came away from a good field last time out at Leopardstown to win with ease. With form over slightly further than this trip, there are no question marks surrounding the Cheltenham hill and staying for this horse.
In a wide open contest, he looks to have solid each way claims.
Grand Roi heads the betting at 7/1, and many feel he has been laid out for this race. Other horses in with a chance include Wide Receiver at 12/1 and Koshari at 9/1.
Maze Runner is at 16/1 for the Willie Mullins team and this is a race that Mullins often targets so don’t be surprised if he has multiple runners when the entries are confirmed.
Further down the list of runners, horses such as You Raised Me Up at 16/1 and Third Wind at 20/1 may also attract support
