Cue Card Backed to Get Festival Favourite Backers off to Winning Start 09/03/11
Cue Card is 2-1 (from 9-4) favourite with for next week's Supreme Novices' Hurdle, after last year's Festival Bumper winner was well-backed to get favourite backers off to a winning start at Cheltenham.
 |
"With less than one week until the start of the biggest betting week of the year, Cue Card continues to be regarded as banker material by many punters, and having been the bookies' friend when winning as a 40-1 outsider at last year's Festival, Colin Tizzard's charge will be one of the hottest favourites in action this time around,"
Another market leader to attract support today is Aegean Dawn, now 10-3 (from 4-1) for Saturday's Imperial Cup.
