A guide to the bookmakers offering additional each way places at sport's biggest events.

Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase Additional Each Way Places

The Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase is a unique spectacle on Ladies Day, Wednesday 14th September 2019 at the Cheltenham Festival. Run on the gruelling Cross-Country course over 3-and-a-half miles, the race features 32 obstacles. Previously a handicap, the race is now a conditions race and it's a popular follow-up to the Queen Mother Chase. For the 2019 Cheltenham Festival any field approaching 16 or more runners is very likely to see 4 places each way offered by online bookmakers, meaning an additional place over and above the standard 3 places each way. Of course, offering 4 places each way in the Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase is an excellent way to offer maximum profit opportunity for punters and is a promotion which will undoubtedly drive 2019 Cheltenham Festival new customer registrations for savvy bookmakers.

2019 Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase 4 Places Each Way

The Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase was introduced into the Cheltenham Festival as recently as 2005 and it's a stand-out race on the basis it's run over Cheltenham's magnificent Cross-Country course. Nina Carberry is the renowned Cross Country jockey having won this race 4 times, but watch out for any Enda Bolger trained runners as the County Limerick trainer is the renowned cross country master trainer. Indeed he's saddled 5 winners of the Glenfarclas and 2016 saw him win with Josie's Orders. Bolger though these days is undoubtedly being challenged by a group of mainstream trainers who see this Cross Country Chase as a huge opportunity to saddle a Cheltenham Festival winner. The trio of Phillip Hobbs, Richard Johnson and Balthazar King won this both 2012 and 2014. The 'Codd Father' Jamie Codd rode Gordon Elliott-trained Cause of Causes to victory in this in 2017.

With anything up to 16 runners across recent renewals, online bookmakers up until now have paid the standard 3 places each way at 1/4 odds or more commonly these days 1/5 odds for this Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase. However 2019 could see this change, as the competitive nature of the online bookmaker industry would make any field of 16 runners rife for an additional each way place. We could certainly see 4 places each way for the Cross Country Chase in 2019. It's worth remembering as a punter that the big online bookmakers have a new customer war-chest for the Cheltenham Festival, so offering additional each way places attracts new customers who spot the value to be had. Naturally 4 places covers circa 25% of the field - a situation which can only drive the chances of profit.

At the time of writing, no bookmakers have extended beyond the standard 3 places each way terms. As soon as this changes we'll confirm details here.
