Popular Day Three Multiples

The Thursday card is seeing massive volume on combinations involving the day's heavy hitters. Here are the five most popular multis currently being built on the Sky Bet site:

Multi Name	Selections	Popularity
The Banker Trio	Bambino Fever, Wodhooh, Fact To File	23,504 backed
The Stamina Monster	Oldschool Outlaw, Regents Stroll, Kabral du Mathan, Supremely West, Jeriko du Reponet	12,275 backed
The Championship Four	Bambino Fever, Wodhooh, Teahupoo, Fact To File	10,625 backed
The Feature Treble	Wodhooh, Teahupoo, Fact To File	2,681 backed
The Thursday Powerplay	Bambino Fever, Wodhooh, Fact To File, Supremely West	2,593 backed

Why the Punters are Backing These Picks

The data behind these popular selections points toward high-class performance and proven tactical versatility at Prestbury Park:

• Fact To File (Ryanair): Timeform describes his Irish Gold Cup win as "imperious." He is a top-drawer chaser who looks a class above his rivals in this 2m 4f test.
• Teahupoo (Stayers'): The defending champion is unbeaten in three starts this season and remains the standard-setter for consistency in the staying hurdle division.
• Wodhooh (Mares' Hurdle): She arrives with a faultless unbeaten record this season. Timeform notes she has done everything asked of her with a clinical turn of foot.
• Bambino Fever (Mares' Novices'): A highly progressive sort who impressed when winning at Fairyhouse. She has the scope to take another major step forward on this stage.
• Supremely West (Pertemps): Highlighted as a primary handicap threat if recapturing his autumn form. He looks well-treated for this notoriously difficult puzzle.

Managing Your Free Bets

With five separate £10 free bet tokens, a smart strategy is to use two or three tokens on the "market leaders" multis shown above to target a solid return, and then use your remaining tokens to hunt for higher-odds value in the big-field handicaps like the Pertemps or the Kim Muir.

Please gamble responsibly. All odds are correct at the time of writing and are subject to change. Free bet tokens expire 7 days after they are credited. 18+.
