Lossiemouth and Galopin Des Champs to win at Cheltenham Festival now 3/1 on Sky Bet

The 2024 Cheltenham Festival is just five weeks away with a few horses already shaping up to be big winners well ahead of the off.

And Sky Bet are offering up a huge boosted double on Cheltenham Festival favourites with just five weeks to go until the 2024 Festival!

Trainer Willie Mullins won eight Grade 1 races at the Dublin Racing Festival in the weekend just gone and it just reaffirmed how good some of his horses are.

Galopin Des Champs was already a big favourite for the Cheltenham Festival Gold Cup but has seen more interest since seeing off all his rivals on Saturday in the Irish Gold Cup.

The eight-year-old has now won eight of his 11 chase contests which is a huge achievement considering the level he's continuously running at over mostly 3m.

He's earned £1,025,175 so far and has a good couple of years to add to that massively.

Lossiemouth won her first start of the season at Cheltenham in January in the International Hurdle (Grade 2) beating Love Envoi by an astonishing nine and a half lengths.

There's no better mare hurdling right now it would seem and that's why she's a firm favourite in the antepost to win the Mares' Hurdle at odds-on.

She is odds-on but a step up to 2m4f would be the first such trip for the grey mare, but if any horse can do it, it's the Mullins-trained five-year-old who has already won six of her seven runs.

The grey looked to be in better condition than ever at Cheltenham and has clearly progressed over the summer break to be even more of a power house.

She has a 14/1 shot to win the Champion Hurdle but it would be some feat to see off Constitution Hill.
