Champion Chase special offer

As part of their countdown to the Cheltenham Festival, tomorrow Stan James are going to be offering top industry price on every single runner in the Queen Mother Champion Chase.

This means that Stan James will not be beaten on any price on any runner in the Champion Chase throughout the day. This promotion runs for a full 24-hour period from midnight to midnight on Tuesday 1st February.

The offer heralds a month of Cheltenham Festival offers from the bookmaker, throughout February, to help whet the appetite of punters. On Thursday February 3rd, for example, they will be offering 4 places instead of the industry-standard 3 on their Cheltenham Gold Cup ante-post market.

Both Kauto Star and Denman are currently trading at 8/1 with Stan James and 4 places instead of 3 offer could look very attractive for supporters of each horse.

Other great Cheltenham Festival daily offers coming up this month with Stan James include offering 6 places on the Coral Cup ante-post market on Sat 5th, and offering top price on every single runner in the Ryanair Chase for the day on Wed 10th.
