Although I remain very keen on the chances of Jezki retaining his Champion Hurdle crown, I think there is a second value bet worth having in the same race. This is because of the generous ew terms offered by most bookmakers and the probable prospect of a small field going to post. Arctic Fire, a contender that could be improving fast is available at 16/1 and therefore an EW bet pays place terms of 4/1 1,2,3.
OK this could be viewed as Willie Mullins' third string. But remember that old adage about trainers' second (or even third!) choice being value? No stats to back up that particular statement but in any event I have had a small bet (they only lay small bets) with Bet365 as follows:
1.5pts EW Arctic Fire to win Champion Hurdle @ 16/1 Bet365 (1/4 odds 1,2,3) NRNB BOG
Not only is this firm top price NRNB they also add the BOG stipulation (best odds guaranteed) making a great value proposition.
Three points staked.
