Tipster Challenge Results – Champion Chase drama at Cheltenham

Ciaran O'Brian-3195(1)_resizedThe Guests took charge at the top of the Tipster Challenge leaderboard on a memorable day at the Cheltenham Festival.

Ciaran O’Brien, Communications Director at William Hill ended the day with an incredible 16.5 points after race wins for Diego Du Charmil (13/2), Ballyandy (5/1) and an emotional Nico de Boinville on Sprinter Sacre (5/1).

For the first time, bettingexpert have fallen more than 10 points behind in 3rd place. Stephen Harris did manage a nice 8/1 win on Blaklion, but failed to find a winner in the final five races.

Unfortunately, it was a winless day of action for 4th placed Timeform, whilst pre-Cheltenham leaders SBC did manage to hold on to 2nd spot as a result of the victory for Diego Du Charmil in the 4:50.
