Tote offer for ALL customers
- Head to the Tote website HERE**
- Opt In to the offer for ‘Free Festival Placepot This Week’
- One per customer, can be used any day of the Cheltenham Festival
- Once opted in, select your placepot for that day and your free bet will be waiting in the bet slip
- £1million guaranteed placepot pool EVERY DAY
- Expires at the start of the first race on Friday, March 15
That’s right, a share of that £1million pool could be yours, without even backing a single winner during any given day of the four-day event!
The Placepot is a bet where you select a horse to be placed in the FIRST SIX races of any meeting.
You can pick more than one horse in a race – you just multiply the number of selections in each race to calculate your stake. So for staking it’s 2x3x1x2x2x2 which adds up to 48 lines.
You can stake what you want upwards from 5p a line which would cost a total of £2.40. 10p a line is £4.80 and so on.
Provided at least one in each race is placed, we get a payout!
CHELTENHAM BETTING OFFERS – BEST FREE BET DEALS FOR THE FESTIVAL
Cheltenham day three Placepot picks!
LEG 1 Grey Dawning, Ginny’s Destiny
GREY DAWNING can just edge out Ginny’s Destiny in what should be a real cracker. There is little between them with Ginny’s Destiny actually coming out on top when they met here in December. But the Skelton runner made one bad error two out that put him on the back foot before he charged up the hill for a close second. He has since landed a Wincanton Grade 2 by 14 lengths and soft is right up his street. There’s a lot more to come. There’s a fag paper between them with Ginny’s Destiny winning well again here last time.
LEG 2 Gaoth Chuil, Cuthbert Dibble, Cleatus Poolaw
GAOTH CHUIL won the key qualifier for this race at Leopardstown’s Christmas meeting in a good time. She then went back and ran another belter at the Dublin Racing Festival when a close second in a big field. She loves cut in the ground and has more to offer at this sort of trip for trainer Ted Walsh who knows how to get one ready for Cheltenham.
CUTHBERT DIBBLE is improving with every run and had something left in the tank at the end of three miles at Haydock last time. More rain would help as he loves it bottomless but can go well for the Twiston-Davies team.
CLEATUS POOLAW qualified for this with a good second at Naas last time. That was his handicap debut and there should be a lot more to come.
LEG 3 Envoi Allen
ENVOI ALLEN can defend his Ryanair crown. He was peaked for this race 12 months ago by Henry De Bromhead whose horses have been in fine fettle this week. He has won three times at the Festival and loves this trip. He was just collared over three miles at Down Royal when last seen in November and comes here nice and fresh.

LEG 4 Teahupoo, Noble Yeats
TEAHUPOO came off worst in a barging match in last season’s race that cost him. Gordon Elliott hasn’t run him since December and he’s unbeaten in five runs for the yard after a break. Should get his favoured soft ground and looks the one to beat.
NOBLE YEATS was the Grand National winner in 2022 and fourth last year so won’t lack for stamina. Beat a few of these well in the Cleeve here last time and is still only nine. Handles any ground and has strong each-way claims.
LEG 5 Theatre Man, In Excelsis Deo
THEATRE MAN ran a cracker when second here last time, finishing strongly up the hill only for the line to come too soon behind the classy Ginny’s Destiny. He usually goes from the front as he did when winning on soft ground at Kempton on his last run before going handicapping so Harry Cobden taking over in the saddle is a major plus. He is only slowly going up the weights and looks capable of a lot better.
IN EXCELSIS DEO would have won at Sandown last time but for unseating his rider at the final fence. He has been placed around here twice since going chasing and has every chance of hitting the frame again for Harry Fry.
LEG 6 Brighterdaysahead, Dysart Enos
BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD sets the clear standard after impressive wins at Down Royal and Navan. She absolutely tanked along there and jumped well despite the testing ground. Dropping back to this trip holds no fears and the Gordon Elliott team are adamant there’s miles more to come.
DYSART ENOS would be a popular first Festival winner for Fergal O’Brien. She hasn’t won a Graded race yet which means she gets 5lb off her main rivals. She looked well up to this standard when winning here in December and just cruised around Donny to maintain her unbeaten record last time. She has a big chance.
