BETTRENDS SELECTION: EPATANTE
Unbeaten in two starts this season, EPATANTE looks the one to be with in the Unibet Champion Hurdle, despite the fact she disappointed at last year’s Festival. The lack of positive Festival form is a concern, but Nicky Henderson’s Christmas Hurdle winner still ticks more boxes than the opposition (in trends terms) and arrives at Cheltenham on a sharp upward curve. She can provide owner JP McManus with a sixth win in the race since 2010, and a fourth consecutive win in the day-one feature.
Bettrends Acca: Epatante, Defi Du Seuil, Paisley Park and Delta Work all to win is 110/1 with Sky Bet!
