The 2023 Cheltenham Festival is here and Midnite has odds to win the 3.30 Champion Hurdle Challenge Trophy on Day One of the four-day event - Tuesday, 14 March.

Midnite’s full racing offering is coming soon and this week we’re giving fans the chance to bet on the key races at the 2023 Cheltenham Festival, including the 3.30 on day one.

The Champion Hurdle - or Champion Hurdle Challenge Trophy - is the the most prestigious hurdling event in the National Hunt calendar and has been won by Honeysuckle, ridden by Rachael Blackmore, in the past two years.

Neither Honeysuckle nor Blackmore will feature in the 2023 Champion Hurdle, so let’s take a look at the runners for this year’s race, along with the odds and the experts’ tips for the headline race on Tuesday at Cheltenham.

Odds and percentages are correct at the time of publication and subject to change. You can also find details on how to get a Cheltenham Festival Free Bet at Midnite.

Midnite’s Champion Hurdle Verdict

The Champion Hurdle on day one of the Festival looks like a match barring accidents.

Only 7 runners go to post and the odds on favourite Constitution Hill looks to have one serious contender in the Irish trained State Man.

We have only seen Constitution Hill twice since his impressive Supreme Novice Hurdle win at last year's Festival taking the Christmas Hurdle and the Fighting Fifth Hurdle en route to this year's Champion Hurdle.

State Man took the County Handicap Hurdle at last year's Festival but has since won 4 Grade 1 races on home soil in preparation for this year's Champion Hurdle.
