William Hill have all the latest betting and odds for the 2012 Cheltenham Festival next March.
Grands Crus made it two from two over the larger obstacles on Thursday when victorious in the GPG Novices’ Chase at Newbury, leading William Hill to shorten the RSA favourite to 3-1 from 4-1.
The Paul Nicholls-trained runner-up Sonofvic was introduced into the RSA betting at 14-1 by William Hill after being beaten by only two lengths.
Lucy Rhodes, spokeswoman for William Hill, explained to Bettingpro ‘Grands Crus further enhanced his RSA credentials with a second victory over the larger obstacles, however Sonofvic could be a live contender for some decent prizes with natural improvement’
