Cheltenham 2025 Day 4 Handicap Tips With Extra Each-Way Places

William Hill County Handicap Hurdle  – 14:00

After the JCB Triumph Hurdle lifts the curtain on the final day of racing at the Cheltenham Festival, we have the William Hill County Handicap Hurdle. 

This is traditionally one of the races to get the biggest number of places and it’s hardly a surprise.

For starters, there’s as many as 26 horses lining up to battle it out in this two mile, one furlong encounter. 

Secondly, there’s never any horse trading at particularly short odds, with Kopeck De Mee likely to go off favourite although every other runner is a backable each-way price. 

If the betting sites are offering extra places for the County Hurdle, it’s virtually certain that some of the placed horses will be at double-figure odds. 

Kargese and Absurde are both trained by Willie Mullins although the same trainer has lots of lively chances. 

Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap  – 17:20

The Martin Pipe brings the Festival to a close for another year with an encounter taking place over two miles, four and a half furlongs on Friday evening. It’s the last chance to back a winner or even simply land a return should you find some each-way value among the field.

Kopeck De Mee may take up an entry in the County Hurdle instead of this race, with the horse being regarded as cheating the handicapper for the Festival, although each-way punters will generally want to find a bigger price in order to secure a return. 

Wodhooh has been a winning machine for Gordon Elliott although horses such as East India Express, Taponthego and No Ordinary Joe might be more attractive if horse racing betting sites are extending their each-way terms for the final time over Cheltenham Festival week.
