Kim Muir Challenge Cup Chase Betting Tips and Race Preview – Cheltenham 2023

The Kim Muir Handicap Chase is one of the most competitive races not just of the Cheltenham Festival, but of the entire jumps season. All of the big stables have many horses that could be aimed at this race, and they will choose the one they feel is best handicapped when the entries open for the race. The race is limited to amateur riders only, and the top amateurs are all booked weeks in advance for this race, such is their importance.

Looking back at the horses that have won the Kim Muir Cheltenham Race recently, it clearly takes a very strong, tough and determined horse to win this contest, which is no surprise when it is ran over the distance of three miles and two furlongs. You also need to look out for who is riding your horse, often the best riders are snapped up early, which can be a tip in itself. Jamie Codd is a prime example for this, he is often the first rider to be snapped up for this race, and has won it four times in the last ten years.

2023 Kim Muir Handicap Chase Preview

Domesday Book sprang a huge surprise in the race last season, getting up to win at 40/1 in the Kim Muir 2023. However, aside from that result, this race has usually gone the way of one of the fancied runners, despite being a very tough handicap to solve. There are many horses in it, but stats show to look towards the head of the market.

If you look back further over the past ten years you will see many fancied horses have won the Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup, rode by many of the best amateur jockeys. That is certainly something to keep an eye on when the race draws closer, see who has been booked to ride and pick out the best jockeys and look into their rides.

Looking at where the winners have come from in the past, despite having top amateur jockey Jamie Codd in Ireland, the Irish have won just two races in the last ten years, something they will be looking to change. Codd has ridden one of those winners, but his other three have all come for British trainers, make sure you take note of what he rides.
