Haldon Gold Cup Betting Odds

There’s some cracking racing at Exeter Racecourse on Friday including the Haldon Gold Cup. Kalif Du Berlais won three of his previous four efforts at the end of last season. The five-year-old could be the one to beat over two miles, one and a half furlongs. However, JPR One ran in esteemed company last term and could well feature in the shake-up.

We also think that L’Eau du Sud has solid each-way credentials, with Dan Skelton’s seven-year-old having landed a string of wins last term. Gidleigh Park could also run well and the seven-year-old has to contend with carrying more weight. Martator comes next in the market and the Venetia Williams-trained charge can’t be discounted.

2025 BetMGM Haldon Gold Cup Handicap Chase Betting Tips

The BetMGM Haldon Gold Cup Handicap Chase betting market is headed by Kalif Du Berlais, with the five-year-old having been an impressive winner at Aintree back in April. In the Grade One Maghull Novices’ Chase, the 15/8 shot was able to win by three and a half lengths. There was previously a New Year’s Day success at Cheltenham at short odds.

JPR One is a seasoned campaigner who has notched a number of notable wins in his career. There was a midfield finish at Plumpton last time out, with that coming after twelfth out of twenty at the Cheltenham Festival. However, this horse was the winner of the BetMGM Haldon Gold Cup a year ago and has proven pedigree over course and distance.

L'Eau du Sud has been able to clock up a number of wins last season, with Dan Skelton saddling a horse who ran well to finish third in the Maghull Novices’ Chase. He has a few lengths to find on Kalif Du Berlais, with that coming after finishing fourth out of five runners in the Arkle Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.

Gidleigh Park could be an exciting each-way alternative. There was plenty to like about a second-placed finish in the Manifesto Novices’ Chase when following home Impaire Et Passe. That came after a surprise success in the Lightning Novices’ Chase where 4/6 favourite Caldwell Potter was beaten into second place.

2024 Haldon Gold Cup Tips

The Haldon Gold Cup Handicap Chase takes place at Exeter Racecourse, with the runners and riders competing over two miles, one and a half furlong. JPR One looks like a solid proposition and the seven-year-old was last seen running in the Arkle at the 2024 Cheltenham Festival. However, there were previously some strong efforts.

That includes a victory at Lingfield back in January, with the horse having previously turned out in the Henry VIII Novices’ Chase at Sandown in December. A viable alternative could be Libberty Hunter who runs for Evan Williams and the eight-year-old was third out of ten runners when running at Aintree back in April.

Considering the horse was sent off at odds of 33/1, it was a fine performance in the Maghull Novices’ Chase over two miles and that came after finishing second out of sixteen runners in the Grand Annual Challenge Cup at the Cheltenham Festival. There was a victory at the same course on New Year’s Day and he’s definitely one for the shortlist.

Djelo goes for Venetia Williams and it was an underwhelming performance at Aintree last time out, although it was preceded by third place in his Cheltenham Festival encounter where the 25/1 shot was able to finish third out of ten runners in the Turners Novices’ Chase. There was also a runner-up spot in a Novices’ Chase at Sandown Park.
