Champion Hurdle 2024 Tips – Cheltenham Day 1 3.30pm Betting Tips
3.30pm – Champion Hurdle Tip
The gloss of this race has somewhat been taken off due to the non-participation of reigning champion Constitution Hill but we still have a race on our hands and with a horse like State Man we have a popular favourite. The winner of 8 grade 1s and only behind Constitution Hill in last year’s renewal he deserves to be a short price favourite and he should get rewarded that his efforts on the track deserve. He is a fantastic horse and I can’t see how any horse can finish in front of him. He’s as solid a favourite can be this week.
I have found an alternative bet here though in the without market. IBERICO LORD was supplemented last week and he comes into the race as an improving sort by winning 2 of the most competitive handicaps ran this season in the Greatwood and Betfair hurdles. I don’t expect him to beat State Man but I do believe he will run well and on that basis, I am recommending to back him without State Man AND Irish Point. I believe he will beat all the other horses behind him and I think this market offers great value
3.30pm Tip: Iberico Lord W/O State Man AND Irish Point – 15/8 with bet365.

Champion Hurdle Free Bets & Offers
Constitution Hill is probably the banker of the Cheltenham Festival but he will be no price to bet on at around 1/5. Despite this, we are expecting some good Cheltenham offers for the Champion Hurdle with bookies looking to find a way to interest punters despite the short odds favourite. There will still be an each-way market to get stuck into or you could use one of the free bets to place an each-way bet on the big race for day 1.
