2025 Betfair Exchange Handicap Chase Betting Odds at Cheltenham racecourse

Saturday, 25 January 2025

The 2025 Betfair Exchange Handicap Chase is run over two miles, four and a half furlongs, with a maximum of eighteen runners battling it out at Cheltenham Racecourse. There are seventeen obstacles to overcome, with trainer Jamie Snowden having a couple of interesting runners in the form of Colonel Harry and Ga Law.

Springwell Bay hasn’t been out of the first three this season and has the potential to be in the shake-up, with Lisnamult Lad falling in his previous encounter although that came after a victory and the eight-year-old could be favourably handicapped. Make sure you compare the latest racing odds and secure the best price that is available.

2025 Betfair Exchange Handicap Chase Tips

Gemirande has recorded back-to-back successes and the nine-year-old could represent a good each-way bet when it comes to this New Year’s Day encounter at Cheltenham Racecourse. Venetia Williams saddles a runner who was successful at Prestbury Park in mid-December when winning the December Gold Cup.

There was previously a success at Ascot over two miles and five furlongs, with this being a seven and a half length triumph, although this is a competitive encounter and Springwell Bay has been registering some decent finishes this term. The eight-year-old has ran twice already at Cheltenham this term after a previous success at Chepstow.

Colonel Harry began the latest campaign with a runner-up spot in a Carlisle encounter featuring four runners, while the most recent outing saw the horse finish way off the pace at Newbury. Jamie Snowden also has Ga Law and the best effort this season was finishing second in the Paddy Power Gold Cup Handicap Chase.

Lisnamult Lad has decent each-way claims based on his efforts so far, with the eight-year-old having fallen at Navan in the middle of November. However, there was plenty to like about a victory at Cheltenham when obliging as a 20/1 shot when triumphing in a big field in October. This is our idea of the best bet in the race.
