Bet365 are now 'non-runner no bet' on all races at the Cheltenham Festival, which means that you can get stuck into their ante post markets with the safety net of knowing that if you back a non-runner you will get your money back.

"This is the fourth consecutive year we have been the first company to offer this concession. We have lost on all three previous years, but hope for a different outcome this time", said bet365 spokesman Pat Cooney

And with 15 Festival races already priced up at bet35, there's plenty of scope to snap up some big odds on your fancies now, and then be in a healthy position on the day of the race.

The Irish look to have a strong hand in the Champion Hurdle with Sizing Europe and Sublimity first and second in the betting at 9/4 and 7/2 respectively. The home challenge is led by Osana at 5/1, but Straw Bear could be a lively outsider at 20/1!

The race of the meeting is undoubtedly the Gold Cup, which features a mouth-watering clash between reigning champ Kauto Star - bet365's even money favourite - and new kid on the block Denman at 11/8. Where's your money going?
