The Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle is always a hugely anticipated race on Ladies Day at the Cheltenham Festival.

First run in 1983 and sponsored by the bookmaker Coral, the Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle always features one of the biggest fields of festival week. Punters focus on the Coral Cup when it comes to backing value each-way runners and the 2-and-a-half mile hurdle over 10 hurdles has thrown up big-price winners in the past.

With fields of up to 28 runners in recent years, online bookmakers are always happy to give punters real value in this race, especially as it’s one of the handicap highlights of the Cheltenham Festival, so expect 5 places, 6 places and even 7 places each way on the Coral Cup this year. Of course, offering 6 places each way or sometimes even 7 places each way on the Coral Cup is an excellent way to offer maximum profit opportunity for punters and is a promotion which will drive 2024 Cheltenham Festival new customer registrations for savvy bookmakers.

The Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle is one of the largest field races of any Cheltenham Festival. 28 runners has been the norm over the last 7 years and that makes each-way betting the order of the day. Naturally Coral are the race sponsor and they like to get involved with 7 places each each-way exclusively offered over the past 2 renewals.

Both Gordon Elliott (twice) and Nicky Henderson (four times) have won this multiple times in the past 10 years and Paul Nicholls plus Alan King have also had recent winners. 2017 saw the talented Supasundae trained by Jessica Harrington win, with anything around the 14/1 – 16/1 seemingly a very attractive price from a winner perspective.

With anything up to 28 runners across recent renewals, online bookmakers pay out the standard 4 places each way at 1/4 odds for this handicap hurdle. However with the Coral Cup Hurdle being one of the biggest races at the Cheltenham Festival for each-way betting, a growing number of bookmakers over recent seasons have promoted an additional place or two, with 5, 6 or even 7 places possible for the 2024 running.

Remember online bookmakers have a new customer war chest for the Cheltenham Festival, so offering additional each way places attracts new customers who spot the value to be had. Naturally 7 places covers circa 30% of the field – a situation which can only drive the chances of profit.

At the time of writing, no bookmakers have extended beyond the standard 4 places each way terms. As soon as this changes we’ll confirm details here including any Coral Cup 7 Places Each Way offers.

We track the value provided by online bookmakers across the major National Hunt races. Extended each way terms gives punters a huge boost in terms of profit potential and is the perfect promotion for those who love to back big priced long-shots. With some High Street bookmakers still categorically giving their customers the standard each way terms, knowledgeable punters have been using online bookmakers who have been offering far better value to their customers now for years.

The 2017 renewal of the Coral Cup Hurdle saw 26 starters go to post, with 24 runners (2018), 25 runners (2019), 25 runners (2020), 26 runners (2021), 23 runners (2022) and 26 runners (2023) over the past 6 renewals. A number of huge extra place offers have therefore been available.
