In this post, we are bringing you Cheltenham Day 1 tips as we reveal the biggest antepost liability at BoyleSports ahead of the opening day at the 2025 Cheltenham Festival.

You can also find the latest on what punters believe to be the stars aligning for a Willie Mullins bonanza from the off as the final countdown begins to the famous roar that kicks off the Cheltenham Festival.

Cheltenham Tips: Mullins Treble Big Bookie’s Liability on Day 1

The Closutton trainer already had oddsmakers biting their fingernails as he boasts hot favourites in the opening two races, with Kopek Des Bordes leading the way at Evens in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle and Majborough a 4/7 favourite in the Arkle.

But with Lossiemouth now aimed at the Mares’ Hurdle, the threat of Mullins getting Festival week off to a flyer has bookies ducking for cover. The mare is now an 8/13 favourite to land the Mares’ Hurdle for the second year in succession, having swerved a showdown with Constitution Hill in the Champion Hurdle on day one.

BoyleSports’ Biggest Liability In Cheltenham Festival Antepost Betting

If all three Mullins hotpots oblige their short odds, salt could be rubbed in the wounds of bookmakers as Nicky Hendeson’s superstar is set to go off a hot favourite in the big race on day one. BoyleSports is reporting Constitution Hill is the worst result in their antepost book, having touched 9/2 in November but subsequently falling into just 8/13 on the eve of the opening day.

Lawrence Lyons, spokesperson for BoyleSports, said: “The Tuesday at Cheltenham is always dangerous for bookies, but Willie Mullins has us shaking in our boots even more than usual this year. With well-backed favourites in the opening two races, Lossiemouth is now waiting in the wings to put us on the canvas from the off.

“Many will be adding Constitution Hill to make it a four-timer, and he’s already a nightmare result for us having been backed off the boards from bigger prices over the past few months. If all four go in, it’ll be quite the sting for the industry, and we’ll be counting the millions come close of play on Tuesday.”
