Fred Winter Handicap Hurdle betting verdict
Trainer Alan King is optimistic about Vendor’s chances of justifying favouritism in the Fred Winter this year. The juvenile hurdler won his prep race at Newbury last time in pleasing style and tops the betting from the Paul Nicholls-trained Hinterland, who is also entered for the Triumph and Supreme Novices’.

Jockey and trainer records in the Fred Winter Handicap Hurdle
Five different jockeys and trainers have posed for photographs in Cheltenham’s winning enclosure at the end of the Fred Winter Handicap Hurdle. Last year it was the deadly duo of Ruby Walsh and Paul Nicholls who claimed success with Sanctuaire (4/1) who won it easily by nine lengths to closest challenger Notus De La Tour. This result aside though, the previous two winners of this contest have rewarded punters at double figure prices so it could pay once more to look further down the market. Remember that all the horses tackling this handicap are in the early stages of their development and there are going to be setbacks and mishaps in the race, but the real question is who can make the least errors for victory?
Fred Winter Handicap Hurdle betting pointers
Relatively few obstacles have to be overcome as these runners toe their racing feet, so keep a look out for those that travel and take their flights well in the trials runs before the race in March. Horses that won last time out have won every Fred Winter Handicap Hurdle so monitor those progressive juveniles very closely indeed. If they already have Cheltenham form to their name that is a bonus but try not to discard those who may have flopped previously. While previous mistakes cannot be rectified, the experience from such errors can be learned from and runners generally on an upward curve could prove fruitful in this keenly contested handicap.
The top stables and yards will be ever present again in this race and horses stemming from these are sure to attract money. But don’t let that put you off chancing with a relatively unexposed type from a slightly less trusted background. Dismissing Sanctuaire’s nine length victory last year, the previous runnings have been very tight with only a couple of lengths separating the first three places. Expect this one to go right down to the wire where the stamina of these four-year-olds could be the difference between winning and losing.
